    Probably. Did you put your correct height and weight into the site? And you were given 1300 as your target?

    I'd probably want to eat some of those calories back. if you're hungry.
    If you eat 2180 a day (not including exercise) you should lose weight, according to MFP calculations - anything below 2180 and you will still lose weight.

    With weight loss, it is not how fast a person can loose weight, or how few calories a person can consume.

    Weight loss is about the journey. What foods to eat in the correct amount. The exercise you choose to be involved in. The mental peace. The realization that this is a lifetime commitment, not just till we loose our goal weight.

    It's a balance... Eat to few calories, and you may not be healthy.. Keep an eye on the report section above for daily vitamin and mineral requirements. Eat to many calories, and you will not be healthy either.

    Good Luck
