Hi everybody,
I am a middle-aged woman who, ideally, should lose 100 pounds. I would describe my activity level as light. I have been eating better (not perfectly) for the past year. My current daily calorie level is 1900 (down from about 3000). Still, I've only lost 10 pounds over the past year. I want to lose 100 pounds over the next year, but am worried about how low I have to go calorie-wise. If I dropped now to, say, 1500 daily, would I have anywhere to go in several months? One can't go below 1200 calories or so, right? Should I increase my activity and maybe drop down now to, say, 1700? Do any people here have experience in stalling at what seems to me a relatively low level of calories for somebody 100 pounds overweight? I guess what I am really asking is, do I need to substantially lower daily calories and move my lazy ***? Thanks for any advice.
