I am so lost trying to figure out the amount of calories I should be eating in order to lose. I get from 1200 to 1700 depending on whether I use the BMR or the guided thingy. Can someone help me understand? I am a 36 year old female. Don't really exercise alot. Trying to walk at least 4-5 times a week. I started out weighing 205 and currently weigh 195. Don't want to hamper my weight loss but don't want to starve either. Can someone help with what amount of calories I should be aiming for?

If you're looking to make it easy here's a link to use: http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/calories-goal.php.
I workout a lot, so I use the calculators that come with the programs. If you aren't working out intensly this should get you where you want to be safe and effectivly.
