i am about your size, and age. i eat no more than 1800 calories a day. 1400 does seem too low. i usually wont go less then 1500, and i have been making a lot of progress
I too, count calories, and i am on day 14 of my weight loss journey. it has been much easier this time around, but i never really took my diets seriously before, 3 days on, then i cheat, and i quit. and so it goes.
ive been walking at night before bed, usually 30-60 minutes, it burns a ton of calories at my size. even eating 1800 calories a day, my bmr and excercise show that i burn up to 1000 calories a day more than i eat.
i also agree with what you said about not realising how much you used to eat, i started thinking about all the sodas, little snacks etc, and i was taking in like 4000+ calories! its horrifying!
