    @cstehansen "I don't think all of us feel satiety the same way."

    Thanks you so much. I thought I was crazy there for awhile there.

    @kpk54

    That outlines it perfectly!!! I was being told by some that 1800 was still too low. Okay, well now the provided posts above really have me feeling better.

    I don't think it's too low IF you're not going hungry because of trying to strictly stick to it.
    If you're not eating enough, you'll get hungry. :smile:

    And those people may very well be correct. Keep in mind all the numbers above are reflective of you being SEDENTARY. From some of the info you have posted from Stepz, you are probably more likely at least "lightly active". Based on the numbers above if you regularly have an activity level higher than sedentary (and you most likely do) you're just helping the loss at this point. You know...how everyone says to eat back half your calories.

    No need to worry about that aspect of it at this point. Try the 1800 for a month and see how you do. If you're hungry, eat! Keep in mind you will not lose another 20 pounds in a month. If you do, you really need to eat more and slow the loss down for your health.

    The numbers are just a guide. See how they work.
