I am 5'6" and recently set my calories to 1250 daily. I have 60-70 lbs. to lose. I am fairly active with two small children to chase around. I do walk for exercise occasionally, but have found that I never stop moving anyway as I take care of my family. I dropped weight quickly at this calorie goal but am wondering if this is too few???

I would say it's too low. I'm a touch shorter than you, have 60lbs to lose and eat 1500 net calories a day. I would suggest setting your weekly goal to 1.5lbs per week and ensure your activity level is not set to sedentary.0
