[quote=Anonymous]For the people hung up on metabolism:  People with a high resting metabolic rate will have relatively higher muscle mass compared to someone with a low RMR.  So, they will burn more calories with less exercise.  In addition, some people are very inefficient at storing energy.  A person with a lot of lean mass (muscle) who genetically (or due to gut flora -- that is a new one for me-- very interesting) is very inefficient at converting food calories to fat will be thin even if they eat like shit.  If this is you, thank your luck stars (unless a famine hits, then you are fucked).  We ALL know someone like this, but it is not the rule but rather the exception.

If this is not you, you literally must count calories.  I absolutely do not believe there is an adult who is not bedridden who can go on a 1200 kcal diet and maintain weight.  That is close to a starvation diet, and a person claiming to adhere to that intake who is not losing weight is either consciously cheating and lying to their SO, or they just don't know how to keep accurate tally on their intake.

1800 kcal per day is very hard to maintain, but will result in weight loss in 95% or more of people who adhere to it.

Add 30 min HIIT to that diet, and you will lose 0.5 to 1 lb per week minimum.  How long you can stick to it and what you do when your reach your goal weight will vary by individual.

PS OP's husband is still a dick for messing up her vacation
