    I'm not sure how active you are but 2000 seems sort of high for a calorie deficit. And if you're still eating 2000 worth of high sugar it won't progress you as well as making sure you're focusing on protein IMO.

    not necessarily...

    weight loss is calories in/calories out - so if 2000cal of sugar is still less than her daily calorie needs, she'll lose weight

    I didn't say she wouldn't.

    you said she won't progress as well...if she keeps below her daily caloric needs, she'll progress...well is a subjective term...

    how do you define well?

    STAY AWAY FROM THE SCALE GIRL! Take measurements of every angle of your body! You are going to drive yourself insane and into a wall because of that scale and you will not focus on what you are actually trying to accomplish here! Good luck and tons of hugs! (P.S after many disappointing weigh in every day, I got tired of the sadness it would give and I threw that thing out the window, and I now do my weigh in ONCE a week (even at that!) at a scale distant from home and only charges me 25 cents lol!)

    I'm at 1900 and losing, so it's possible to eat that much and still be at a deficit.

    2000 isn't high for a deficit. I plugged in to lose 1.5 pounds a week and I still get 2180 calories per day before exercise. All depends on your weight, height and where you're going.
