Thanks. I have lost about 3 lbs. and I am trying to lose 8 lbs. total. And you're right. Once I was into counting calories, even for a week, it was easier. I wasn't depriving myself and definitely felt satisfied everyday. But sometimes you just have those days. But from the many people I have seen in this community, the best things to do is realize that we will have those days and the most important thing I can do is start again and try my best because tomorrow is a new day!

Thank you for the help! I have another question.

Is is still okay if my BMR is 1392 and I am eating 1350? I want to eat close to my BMR, so will I sill be able to lose weight if I eat just a little under it? I know that some have gained weight by not eating their BMR and I surely don't want to gain any weight.

Hi everyone-

Thank you lizshuler for all of the information you provided in your post. I was wondering if you or anyone else could help try to figure out my information to help me. I tried reading everything and figuring it out myself, but I was beginning to become confused by all the numbers and calculations and because I am new to CC. I would really appreciate your help.

I am 5' 2'' and my current weight is 123 lbs. My goal weight is 115 lbs. CC gave me an allowance of 1200 calories to get to my goal weight and this is of course below my BMR.

My current BMR is 1392.15 

My goal weight BMR is 1357.35

I would classify myself as sedentary as well.

How many calories should I be eating so that I can safely lose 8 lbs?

Again, I would sincerely appreciate any help. Thank you!
