Hi LouMo
Yes you've worked it out correctly... Your body needs a minimum of 1200 cals a day. If you work out your BMR you may find that you should in actual fact be eating more than 1345 calories so you may find you need to have a little more after a few weeks if your body goes into starvation mode as your weight may plateau
I know it sounds a lot but I worked out how many cals I was eating on slimming word inc my 80 syns a week and it worked out far more than it will be having on slimfast and I still lost just short of 3 stone in 26 weeks

My BMR is 1425 so that is the minimum I net every day. I can burn anything up to 500 calories za day with exercise too (I run a lot) and make sure eat at least 2/3 of them back - I have a HRM so I know the calorie count is pretty accurate. As long a I don't net under my BMR I still lose weight. I was following the 1360 calorie (230 shake + 230 shake + 300 snacks +600 main meal) allowance recommended by Slim Fast, but I found I soon plateaued on that few so I started on the Eat More to Weight Less programme instead.
Most importantly, I am doing it slowly this time so as to minimise the chances of packing it all back on again as I have done so very many times in the past by losing it too quickly and not changing my lifestyle!

Sorry darn phone sent before I'd finished
My BMR came up as 1618 - does that mean that's what I should be eating? I have lost the past two week following the SF way but have notices this week it seems slower.
Should I really have that many? I'm scared incase I don't lose weight!!
