A member asked:

Weighed 17 stone 11 and now eating 1200 calories per day, barely any exercise. lost 6 pounds in 4 days. is this too much? should i get checked out?

Weight loss: 1200 calories will make you lose weight but be careful not to lose weight too quickly because of risk of gall stones. You should always see your doctor regularly if you are trying to lose weight.
