http://dailyburn.com/life/health/how-to-calculate-bmr/ This is the website that I meant to post.....

i work out about 3-4 times a week, and am short 5'2 weigh 145 and am on the decline in weight.

I need about 1800 a day. this is 90% deficit from my TDEE (total daily energy expenditures).

You should base it on your basal metabolic rate. I am around 1,200 a day. If you truly want to loose, you have to decrease the calories pretty low but not lower than 1,200 a day. See this website under apps, then BMR. or you could check out and read about it here: http://dailyburn.com/life/health/how-to-calculate-bmr/

Something to help this is to go on a 2-3 day fast.....either with water only or natural fruit juices. I did this and it reset my palate to crave what I put in front of me after the fast (the rainbow of foods). Also, you could try the 10 day green smoothie challenge that everyone is craving about.

I have a vivofit 2. I love it. No charging, battery lasts for a year, shows sleep monitoring, truly water proof (can swim with it), also sold with a heart rate monitor strap that shows true heart rate as it is near your actual heart. I truly recommend it over the fitbit......just sayin;. :)
