I tried 1200 quite a few times and it became just too stressful and defeating when I go over it. In the past 13 days I've done 1600 and it's so much more manageable. Since I also try to hit 10,000 steps a day I also have activity calorie deficit. So far I've lost 6 lbs (which I'm sure 3 -4 are water weight lbs).

Thank you guys. I hope this is useful for everyone on the same journey for health and fitness. :)

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate all the encouraging words. My plan is to continue the calorie plan (because I dont feel deprived and this seems to be a good pace to lose extra pounds) and hit 10,000 steps every day. After 4 weeks, Im going to try to incorporate going to dance classes like Zumba or something…

Very true. It's also really helpful to talk to other people like everyone here who have common goals

Thank you! My promise to myself is to keep this for 30 days to really let this become a habit and lifestyle
