Do it for ur health, a severe calorie deficit is unhealthy 

1500 will still give you a loss 

It was suggested I try 1600 calories first since I have so much to lose. I guess I’ll try it and if I don’t see any loss in a week, I’ll go down to 1500 and so on.  

Try Katy hearn’s macro calculator. 

@Flawlessmind99 where would I find that? 

A week is not nearly enough time  

But I get it, speedy results over damage metabolism  

i did around 1700 when i was your weight and that worked really well 

are you working out though? 

Thank you Sharon for sharing how much u ate  

2000 calories is what a adult woman should have without losing weight 

Exactly so 1700 is a deficit that should work very well. but now with ur severe calorie deficit I’m sure u will have issues when u decide to up the calories. 

you've just started if you make it too hard you will give i was originally eating a lot of fruit eating even that doesn't help if it's too late 

I would still do it, u know for ur health, but be patient and u will lose weight. Just gotta give the body a minute to know what’s going on 

to me 12-1300 seems about right to start with 

Changes are noticeable in 6-8 months 😉 

No women should eat 1200 calories  

Unless the are midgets  

I’m 5’1 close to a midget and never did I eat under 1500 calories a day, I have lost over 80 pounds n I don’t yo yo with my weight 

I first started with logging my food every day. Then I looked at my carbs, and calories, and my weight loss. I found out that 'conventional wisdom' was wrong and there is no way I would lose weight at the 'recommended intake'. For example, as I got older I had to consume less calories. Good luck!
