Height - 62in
Age - 30
BF% - 51% (I know, I know I'm working on it)
Activity Level - Lightly Active
BMR = 1404

Goal (-20% TDEE) = 1544

MFP started me out at 1200 as well. There was no way I could stick to that for more than a day and not feel like I was starving every second of my life. I raised my goal based on Scooby's recommendations and have lost 40 lbs initially, I gained some back when I stopped tracking on MFP.0 -
