    And i weigh daily. But only because I understand that weight fluctuates every single day. I only log a loss, if its a new number i havent seen before.

    Hello everybody, I'm an 18 yr old female, currently weighing 230 lbs. For the last five or so days I have been eating around 1150 calories per day (and have lost 5 lbs in one week). Feeling a little more tired than usually but so far not to bad. I want to lose 60 lbs by the end of August 2015. Since I am considered "obese" is this a safe amount of calories? (I do little to no exercise.

    At your weight the calories are fine. Just keep in mind you need to be careful about your food choices to make sure you get the nutrients you need. August, however, is a fairly aggressive timeframe for that magnitude of weight loss. My advice is to focus on the process - nail the habits - and the weight loss will be an impressive number, even if it might not quite get to 60.

    I do have a history of eating disorders and I have to be careful I don't go down that path again.

    Might be worth making sure you get the appropriate IRL support.

    Good luck!

    Yes, I checked my calories through BMR and my current 1150 is pretty close to accurate.. I need 1270 (will still be low but not quite as dangerous). I eat a lot of fruit and have eggs for breakfast. I definitely try to keep my nutrition close to perfect.
