I agree, especially when my daughter, who weighs 154 right now, was told by the doctor today to go no lower than 1500 calories a day. She has anywhere between 11-15 pounds left to lose and eats very well.
So, if she's supposed to be at 1500 and I do that usually twice a week on my plan, with an average of 1700 calories per week, you'd think I would have dropped another 20 pounds by now. I've lost 40 so far, but the last two weeks, I admit, I have fallen off plan a bit due to an increase in exercise. I'm lucky I've maintained my weight.
Anyhow, to reply to the OP's post:
1. 1500-2250 calories per day, averages to 1700 (Wendie Plan in calories)
2. Light to Moderate
3. 2-3 pounds per week average
4. 258
