Out of interest, how many calories are women eating every day. I'm on 1245 is that average?

    This would depend on a lot of variables. Your calorie target is dependent on your stats, activity level, and desired rate of loss. My wife can lose about 1 Lb per week on 1600-1800 calories. She's an avid runner and we also have two young boys that we have to chase around the house, etc.

    my current goal is 1850+ exercise. With my current situation I should lose about 1lb/week.

    This is going to vary hugely.

    I'm 5ft 2 and eat around 2000 cals to maintain my weight.
