Calorie intake 1410 or 1200?

Right now mines at 1410 but I keep hearing people say that it should be at 1200 to loose weight? I want to loose 30-40 pounds...will I loose weight at 1410 calories or should I take it down to 1200? I'm 18 and truth be told my life styles pretty sedentary...working on changing that though...insight? Advice? I'm at 163 and hoping to really knock that down

    Hi!... well whether or not you will loose weight is dependent on lots of things. if MFP calculated your calories at 1410 then I think stick to that and if you were eating more than that before then you will loose weight.. not as quickly but probably in a much more sustainable way :-D

    Stick with what MFP puts you at because as you lost weight the number will go down. i started at around 1500 in the beginning and I have lost 43 pounds now my number is 1200.
