    Hi! I'm at 1200 + half my exercise calories, but until last week, I was still in the 'obese' BMI category. I don't want to be a downer here, but if you're already losing 2 pounds a week on 1300, that's considered maximum safe loss unless you're obese. I'd stick with your 1300 for now, and an approx 2 pounds per week, instead of trying to go lower. Too low of calorie intake for your body type and you can end up seriously ill. :)

    thanks. its 2pounds a week at 1200 calories a day, Its the lowest calorie intake that is still safe while getting all daily nutrients needed. i did start at 1300 a day but noticed i was able to save 100 once i got use to it. I am 10 pounds over my regular weight and am ready to get it under control before it gets out of control. (i was almost 20 pounds over, but lost the other weight just by not binge eating) Thank you for the look out
