Calorie Question

For those of you that are trying to shed some weight-how many calories are you consuming daily? I've been trying to eat about 1, 700 a day. Do you think that's too much/too little? I have about 13.5 pounds left that I'm trying to work off. Any input would be appreciated!

Hi Megan,
Well as you know it's different for everyone ..
Also depends on how many calories you burn a day.
That sounds good for you as long as you're burning more or at least equal to
I try for 1500 or so a day .. which sometimes works ::blush::
There are some great sites & I will try to find.
In the meantime let's hope others share their thoughts as well :)

Hi there Megpie...what Hugs said is true. Everyone is different. I look at it like a balance scale. If

Hugs is right, it depends on how much activity you do & your height, etc.
I follow WW so am not exactly sure how to figure calories.

Ok, so I got on a calorie calculator and put in my information and it said that I should be eating 1500 calories a day. So looks like I've been eating a couple hundred too many. I'll try lowering it and see if I can get better results. I'll let you know what happens!!
