I just signed up

Hi!

I just signed up to lose about 23 pounds (maybe more after that feat) and it said I could have 1750 calories to lose all that weight by January?  That doesn't souind right to me...

Essentially, a deficit of 3500 calories equals 1 pound. In a week if you cut 3500 calories off the total you need (or your maintenance level) you will lose a pound.

Welcome and good luck on your journey!

I know it sounds fishy, but this site is awesome and it's probably a correct number. Good Luck and welcome!

hello and welcome!

Are you in Arizona? I'm asking because of your nickname and i am in AZ

If you are young and active - you probably need that many calories to safely lose weight in a healthy way. If you are suspicious, check your activity level in your account - set it to sedentary and log in you extra exercise each day. Then eat 500-750 calories less than you burn.

Welcome! And we wish you all the success you ever wanted.
