Hi there Emma,

Make sure to use the calculators to figure out how much you should be eating. Don't short change yourself, because either 1) you'll get frustrated at how strict your diet is and find it too difficult to maintain, 2) you'll go too low and will end up in starvation mode where it will eventually bugger your metabolism badly... That's where plateaus come into play. Don't make food an enemy... if anything, it will help you to lose, especially if you're taking 2 hour long walks. Good luck with it....
