eating around 1600 ought to allow you to loose weight - are you saying you don't ?

1960 might be a bit high as 2000 is said to be typical maintenance for a woman.

I think that's too high.

Just wondering why you kept increasing calories? It looks like you haven't lost yet so I'm curious as to your thought process on that.

1460 seems to be the healthiest of the options you've chosen.
The 1900 is a little high.

Based on Scooby's Workshop calculator it looks like 1900 is too low. You should check it out. I plugged in your information and it says you should eat 2345. Here is the link http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ :happy:

Sounds like you might not be eating enough. You have to eat to lose weight. You don't want your body to go in to starvation mode.
