I think there is some confusion about the vocabulary. Calorie deficit means the difference between the number of calories you're consuming and the number of calories your body burns.

What is this number 1489? The number of calories MFP has given you as a goal?
Did you already enter your personal info and goals in MFP?
If you already entered your goals, the calorie goal already includes your desired weight loss rate. A rate of 1lb per week equals a deficit of 500 calories per day (eating 500 calories less than maintenance).

I have read many of your posts and threads over the past two weeks.

I would say, with much kindness to you, that you need to slow down, take a deep breath and stop bouncing around like a ping pong ball.

You seem extremely stressed, and in a huge hurry to lose weight very quickly.

Sure, you can cut to “989 calories” a day to lose two pounds a day. But In a few months, when you look in the mirror and your face looks like a skeleton, your complexion is poor, and your hair has begun falling out, will you be that much happier? And will you ricochet and begin eating everything in sight because you’ve punished your body and soul?

I know slow loss sounds boring and unexciting. But it is the best way to lose weight, is less torture, and gives you the best chance to keep it off in the future.

Take a deep breath, tell yourself you love yourself and look forward to a healthy future with yourself, set some reasonable goals and come up with a plan you can live with to achieve your goals. Forever.

Hugs to you.
