1600?

Has anyone actually lost weight with the 1600 calories that CC told them they would to lose weight?

Yup.  I'm 5'1" and 147 lbs. (started at 160), and I eat 1600 calories every day.  Actually, I usually eat 2000 on Saturdays, but I get a lot of excercise on Saturdays.

Thanks... :)

Has anyone lost that wait sedentary?

If you're sedentary, you're probably going to need slightly less calories to lose weight unless you're (a) male, or (b) very tall/heavy.

Maybe try 1600 for a week or two and see if you've lost weight?

Everyone is different - it would depend on your stats. I lost weight eating between 1450-1650, but I exercised. Is there a reason that you are not planning on incorporating exercise?

I used to lose weight on 1900 calories a day when I was waitressing, because it's a very active occupation. Later I lost on 1600 calories while being moderately active. Activity is vital for health, weight-loss concerns aside, so I'd suggest you think about a way to fit it in. Good luck!

yep. i prefer sticking to about 1300 but i do eat 1500-1700 sometimes. it is still less than i burrtn so i lose
