been working on being healthier for a couple of years, but been taking it more seriously this past year.

I started seriously trying to eat healthier and lose more weight probably 5 months ago or so. And that is assuming a sedentary lifestyle and no exercise. In either case, even if she is very short, OP should be able to drop 1 pound per week eating at the very minimum 1700 calories per day. OP didn't give her height but her TDEE is 2570 at 5'0'' and 2850 at 6'0'' based on a 1.45 activity multiplier (Loseit's preferred number). Of course, the other consideration is that you need to be lighter to be at a healthy weight than me. Your BMR (by the Mifflin-St Jeor formula, which Loseit and MFP use) at 5'3'' is only different than mine by 123 calories at any given weight and age (and then multiplied by 1.2 - 1.5 for TDEE we still are at less than 200 calories difference). That said, the biggest predictor of TDEE is not height, but weight. Hence regaining the weight they lost when it's over, because it isn't sustainable. Nonetheless, I do think in general people on here are too draconian in their advice, and that this leads some people to think of dieting as a painful, hungry process. I wasn't intending to state that my specific experience or calorie counts are universal, which is why I stated my height and weight ranges up front.
