    Oh my goodness, I didn't even catch that since Sabine is still an active poster. It's VERY zombie!

    Meh, since it's already happened...

    The 10x thing at goal would put me about right if I was sedentary. At my starting weight though, no. I'd only be on maybe a 100 cal deficit.

    Using 14x for maintenance puts me a bit high for sedentary, and waaaaay too low for my actual TDEE.

    So, yeah, starting points...

    I think maybe a little more. I lost weight eating like that but when I weighed 137 (at 5’5) and I was eating 1300ish or less calories I lost my period, was always cold, my skin and eyes didn’t look the same, I was constantly dizzy and light headed, moody, felt bad, I certainly wouldn’t reccomend that. I didn’t even work out back then but it took a huge toll on my health, I don’t understand why such low calorie diets are recommended for everyone. I feel like if you’re going to drop to a low calorie range you should consult your doctor or someone first based on your own needs. Everyone is different.

    That's about what I'm doing now: 1500 net cals at 159 (based on 7-day moving and 30 day simple averages) but I can't seem to lose a pound.

    It's got me really confused because I lost 36# from 196 to 160 on 1500 to 1800 net cals before and was maintaining at 158 at 1900 to 2000 net cals for about 8 months before my weight started to creep up.

    At least my weight is holding steady at 159 on 1500 cals and not increasing anymore.

    My goal weight is 170 for now. I'm eating 1690 calories, almost 10x my goal weight and lost 2 pounds per week so far.
