    Yea i think both of those numbers are too low. my calorie goal is at 1600. But i make sure i do some sort of physical activity every day, whether that be busting my butt in the gym or a leisurely walk with the dogs, and I always eat my calories back. So i eat between 1900 and 2200 every day and im losing 1-2 pounds a week. (5'5'' and 250 pounds. I started at about 290)

    Try for the 1200 and see how you feel. If you are exercising - use that as a benchmark meaning do your exercises improve (can you do cardio better/longer...do you get strong with weight exercises..do you have energy to workoutt? Do you feel light headed when you get out of a chair - chances are you need to up the calories. Your body will tell you - just need to listen.

    Assuming you have a higher % of fat on your body so your body will use that for energy - that is the goal. Also make sure your diet has good fat in it.
