You know, I've noticed something about the old timers on this site: They are some of the most condescending, nasty, and unpleasant people I've met outside of forums dedicated to being nasty, condescending, and unpleasant.

If you are an active larger body, it is not out of the realm of possibility that you should be eating around 2,000 calories a day to lose weight.
