    BIG THANKS - to all of you for your advice. I figured as much and FYI: I eat between 1400-1600 which is what I meant. Lots of you mentioned watching my macros and other stuff.... I have no idea what you mean - any further advice on that stuff would be great - thanks in advance ;-)

    Macronutrients: fat, carb, protein
    Micronutrients: vitamins and minerals

    Eta: search for the link to " in place of a road map" or maybe someone will chime in who has the link handy

    Check with your doctor 1st. Diet pills can raise your blood pressure & if u have a bp problem use caution. Step up your activity level & take the healthier route.

    don't take them, learn how to eat healthy food , on an everyday basis.. Look for friends that are fit and workout , look at their diary's and see what they are doing..

    save your money and avoid the pills..

    If you are not losing on 2000 cals a day then reduce to 1900 for a week...

    TDEE calculators are an estimate and are not going to be 100% accurate for you ..You have to find an intake that you lose at and stay with that...I know if I eat 2000 to 2200 a day I will lose...if I go up to 2500 that is about maint and anything over that I am going to gain....

    You just need to find what works for you ...

    Besides if you use diet pills and are not losing at 2000 cals..what happens when you stop the pills? You gain all the weight back...

    DO NOT TAKE DIET PILLS OR ANY PILLS, EVER. END OF DISCUSSION.

    Cut out your booze if you are honestly serious about losing weight and being healthy. drink alot of water, minimum a gallon, MINIMUM. eat as clean as possible. google "clean eating" and read up on it.

    exercise regularly and keep a log of your activities and food to tweak where you go wrong.

    A doctor once prescribed me phentermine and it worked AWESOME.. I was never hungry so I could easily stay in my calorie range and tons of energy.. Unfortunately, I felt like I couldn't breathe when I would try to exercise which he said was anxiety, a "normal" side effect.. and I couldn't poop.. also "normal". Ultimately I only stayed on them for a few months because I couldn't deal with the side effects anymore.

    2000 calories/day is generally maintenance level. I would suggest a slight deficit, and not using diet pills. They're a waste of money
