I think you can revise your starting, current and goal weights here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker/update_weight

Thank you for responding. I guess I don't understand how TDEE differs from BMR. I'll go read up on that. But I've used a number of different calculators (fitnessfrog, QuickBMR, etc.) and all show "BMR" to be around 1550 (or within a few points of that).

Where did your get the 1800 number? I was using what MFP and fitday.com estimate. Fitday is a bit higher at about 1575, but still not a huge difference. I'll be glad to eat more :) but not if it's going to sacrifice the weight loss. I'm miserable and need to feel better in my clothes.

I'm a 65 year old woman, 5'3" and 151 pounds, very sedentary because I'm chained to a desk all day. My estimated basal calorie requirement is just over 1500 calories a day. In order to lose weight, don't I need to create a deficit? A friend advised me that 1200 calories is too low for me, but it doesn't seem that way…
