One more question:

 Instead of changing caloric levels every day, factoring in all things (such as BMR, RMR, sedentary, active, etc.), can someone give me advise on how many calories (ballpark) I should eat to maintain my reduced weight? This is all sooo confusing!

Thanks a lot!!

Hi Racha110!  Welcome to CC!

Can you please provide your age/height/weight so that we can assist.  :)

Welcome, this is something that you have to do for yourself, since only you know your stats and exercise regime.  Think of it as empowering yourself. 
This is a good thing!
Once you post it the first time everything is mostly automatic.
I just go and fine tune the bmi when I can log in a ten pound loss.
