    It's much too low. I am female and almost a foot shorter and I eat more than that. Why would you eat so little?

    Because MFP sets it as this if you are sedentry and want to loose 2lbs a week.

    That's where using one's brain comes in. This is software. Two pounds per week is unrealistic except for the most obese people. Computer software = Garbage in, garbage out.

    Is that the same brain that gets you to being 50lbs, 100lbs, 200lbs+ overweight in the first place?

    I don't believe your eating enough, either.

    Also, I don't see many veggies and I see a lot of processed foods. Try making a gigantic salad with lots of protein (almonds, walnuts, chopped chicken, tuna, etc.). I buy frozen veggies in bulk and add them to as many meals as I can. You can do it! :)

    It's funny, I really did think I was eating pretty well, but I really am still eating a lot of processed foods.

    I have learned I love eating big salads. I will get back to that. I usually only need a tbsp of dressing at most.

    I will also get back to having my smoothies, I usually use frozen broccoli, banana, skim milk, and either peanut butter or protein powder.

    I need to start making more lean meats for myself.

    you probably should go to a doctor and have your heart rate, blood pressure checked. the chest pains might be nothing, probably gas or maybe heartburn, but even so, you shouldn't ignore chest pains you get after doing cardio.

    Need to up your calorie intake by about 1000. Your body isn't getting the nutrition it needs.
