Welcome! Feel free to add me. It sounds like we are both in similar places. My husband and I have always struggled with weight and both of us gained lots of weight after we got married. We started our journey in February, when I decided I was going to look in to surgery. My insurance requires 6 months of medically…

1900 Sounds like a good place to start. Adjust it up or down depending on what is working for you. I too have a large amount to lose and have been working with a nutritionist. They want me to be around 2000 calories. If I were to go by the calculations on the site, it would have me eating 2700 calories a day.
