Okay, now based on that, your BMR is around 1700 calories. That means that even if you lay in bed all day and did nothing, your body still needs 1700 calories to keep everything working properly.
With the information you've given me and the workouts logged in your diary, I've worked out your TDEE (Total daily energy expenditure). This takes into account your BMR and your exercise calories to give you a number you need to eat to lose weight. Based on your diary showing workouts 5-6 days a week, we get 2314 calories to lose 1.2lbs per week. This includes your workout calories so you don't have to even worry about logging those, as long as you're consistent with them. I know the number seems high, but remember it's already factored in 600 cals from working out! If it's easier, try upping your calories 100-150 per week until you reach your goal. I put the link below to the calculator so you can have a look yourself. When you've lost more than 5lbs, you'll need to recalculate your TDEE so you're not eating too much.

If you can, stick with this calorie number for about a month. This gives your body time to adjust to the new amount of energy it has, and then start losing weight.
Does everything make sense?0 -
I know your feeling! It is hard to reset your life. I am quitting smoking and the daily motivation is hard. Exercise and punching is helpful with the frustration. Keep with it!0
