Whatever this website, advised her to consume; should be enough.
Yep I stand corrected, just did a BMR on her with what she provided and if she is sedentary 1500 is recommended. So definitely could be. Just seemed a little bit low.
What's a BMR. And how do you know if I sedentary or not?0 -

BMR = Basal Metabolic Rate. Besides exercise, are you physically active in any other way? Do you sit, stand, walk, lift heavy objects regularly throughout the day; for work or while doing chores, if you're a stay at home Mother?1 -

Thank you. I have just changed my calorie goal to 1,500.

No metabolism, just lowers. Sort of like driving a vehicle, without the heat or air conditioning on; it uses less fuel to get you to your destination but it's still using fuel.1 -

Up until last week, I was extremely sedentary. Because it's very difficult for me to walk, because of my back problem. So the only time I leave the house is to go shopping with my b/f. But this week I have really pushed myself in exercise, which has in fact really helped to ease the pain in my back.

Since it's just exercise, I'd choose the lowest level of activity but remember that doesn't include exercise calories, that you've earned. So to lose healthfully, consume at least half of them; along with what this website advises you to.0 -
Thank you everyone for your support and advice. And even researching for me.
This week I will go for the 1,500 calories, drink plenty of water, and obviously continue with my exercises.
Should I do more than 8000 steps per day? If so, how much?0 -

You're very much welcome, just do whatever is sustainable; long term. Don't overdo anything because that could result, in an injury; which'd then defeat the purpose.1 -

As for metabolism. I take medication, as my thyroid is underactive.
As well as having to take other Medes for it her reasons0 -

Well since that's being addressed, then the calories that this website advises for you; should be adequate & just a reminder, when you lose approximately 10 pounds; readjust your calorie goals because when you weigh less, you need less calories.1 -
