    According to this:

    Your BMR is 1372, you should NEVER be eating below that. Your TDEE is 1886. So you need to decide from there how you want to proceed in your cut.

    Hmm so thats a lot! I SHOULD be eating 1886 calores. Is this my net calories?!

    p.s. thank you.

    1886 will be your maintenance calorie goal. check out the websites. a 10-15% cut from that would be a great place to start.

    Your BMR is the bare minimum. Your TDEE is if you want to maintain. I would recommend only a 10% cut off your TDEE since you have so little to lose. So that would be 1697 per day to eat. Now, since you have been under-eating, its possible you will gain since you have been in theory, depriving yourself of proper intake. You may not as well. But you can take up to a 25% cut, though not recommended for little weight loss. The reason so many say to lift, is because it helps with fat burning.

    The best way to lose the weight and slim down will be to gain some lean muscle along with eating at a deficit, resistance training achieves this goal which is why people are suggesting it. As for the calorie numbers: honestly, look at the road map 2.0 to get an idea of what the numbers say you should be eating, but get a scale and watch it move. If you are trending up or not moving, try decreasing your calories slowly by small amounts every week or so. This isn't an exact science. I would say its safe to say eating 1200 calories is probably too low, and definitely don't eat below that (your body needs calories as energy to sustain your daily activity).

    It looks to me like someone did the calculations for you. Don't eat below your BMR, and eat somewhere between that and your TDEE. For reference it takes a deficit of 3500 calories to lose a lb. Figure out a healthy goal to reach your desired weight and distribute those calories as a deficit across the days.

    you probably need to get tone and you would maybe gain muscle weight not lose lbs.. to do so. At your point you need to do something to bring the bmi down a tad bit and focus on strengthening and toning now


    Okay no. Thats why I mentioned to not judge on what im trying to do but HOW im doing it. i dont want to strengthen and tone I want to lose fat and inches.

    Honey - You're looking to lose fat and inches. You've been given great advice by a few people about calories, so I won't go into more on that. I will, however, let you know that weight training WILL help you lose fat and inches. This pic proves it. The one on the left is the day I met my goal weight. The one on the right is a year later, EXACT same weight. I went from a size 12 to a size 6. Maintaining my weight, but lowering body fat %. You choose how to proceed, obviously, I just wanted to offer a different perspective. Good Luck!!

    wow..you look amazing in both :P good for you!

    I will definitely think about lifting.. But I just have one question.. If I started and lost a couple inches, what would Happen if I stopped? I would lose all the muscle and just go back to regular?! The reason why Im asking is because I dont know if I can maintain a routine with lifting. I am active I like to do fun things. I dont like lifting and all that lol I find it boring so I am not completely positive that Ill stick to it.. you know?! I dont want to go into a territory where I could easily back off from...I dont think I would be committed and I dont want to change my body and than change it back to the way it was before... ?Know what I mean :)

    Read this: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/10589-for-those-confused-or-questioning-eating-your-exercise-calo

    "As fat becomes scarce, muscle is easier to break down and transport. And thus, the reason why it's harder to lose that "Last 10 pounds". If you are swimming 3-4 times a week for about 20-30 mins, that will really help. It's a good compound workout.
