    Not necessarily... I have my diary set to lose 1/2 a pound a week... and I feel it's just right... sometimes I lose more, sometimes I don't lose at all... but as long as it's a steady decline it's all good... I have tried the 1200/1400 and I don't feel satisfied and feel hangry... which in turn makes me binge, which is counter productive.

    I do not know where you getting your numbers, but if you go by TDEE - 20%, then you are slightly under and should lose at least a lb a week, even as a couch potato. I have my cals set 1550, and I am couch potato(most of the time) and I lose an average of 2lbs when I stick to my cals and macros. I was off the wagon for a bit and it took a little while to readjust after vacation and weaning my baby from bf'ing.
