    Does anyone think I should increase my calories? Maybe closer to 1800?

    I have to wonder why the doctor set your calories so low. I'm a foot shorter and started out in the 190s and had a dietician recommend a 1700 calorie diet to me.

    I'm following the ideas in this post and experiencing a steady loss of about a pound a week: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12. I struggle with getting on the clean eating bandwagon, so my calories are not necessarily from the best sources (as you'll see in my diary), but an 1850 calorie goal coupled with 5 days of moderate exercise has worked for me.
