Then you want to be eating 1700-1900 calories per day minimum. This will create your ~500 calorie a day deficit.

What's your height/weight anyway? If you don't have much weight to lose, you're well advised to eat an even smaller deficit, like 300.


I am 5 4and 1/2 and weigh 162 as of this morning

Ok. I'd go for the 1700-1900 then, depending on what your Fitbit says.

Thanks to all for the information.
I assume it would be a bad idea to increase my calories with alcohol.........

LMAO! Oh I'd be in heaven if I could do that. If you can do alcohol in moderation than by all means partake I gave up wine and after last weeks National Margarita Day (and I hadn't had one in months!) I've now decided no more of those either! I'm down to a Select 55 Beer a couple of nights a week. That's it. Booooo!

Thanks for everyone's advice last week. Tomorrow is my weigh in and am feeling good about it. Also, it was so much easier this week, eating 500 or so more calories!!
