    Using myfitnesspal? 1.5lbs a week is too much at your weight. Many sites will just take 500 calories off your normal daily requirments. This is grand if you are 200lbs, not so grand if you are 100.

    Work out your calorie requirments a day and take away 10-15%. If you exercise eat back your calories.

    FYI, losing 10% of your weight in 3 months is a lot.

    Remember to do strength work of you will lose muscle as well as fat.

    Okay, I understand you now, thanks for your advice and help.

    I didn't use my fitness pal, I just went with the first free result ( probably a bad idea) it's called Livestrong.

    It is bad? Should I switch to myfitnesspal? Or should I just do it myself manually really?

    I'm around the same height and weight as you and I aim to eat around 1400 cals a day. This goes up a bit on weekends. If I only ate 1000 per day I'd go mental and be the crankiest woman imaginable.

    For the record I only lose about half a pound a week but I've steadily reduced my weight since Christmas and have never felt unwell, overly tired or deprived.
