that is not enough....you are young, you need more! that is half the reason my body is so screwed up. if you do 30 mins on the treadmill and eat 3 meals 2-3 snacks a day you should be able to eat 1500-1800 calories a day. I cook at a hospital and work with a dietitian, we base our diets on the canada food guide. That is what a female at your age should eat to maintain her weight. so if you ate that much with your body mass index you will lose. anyways I am probably sounding bossy, I starved and gorged my whole life, now I want to learn to trust my body and only put good things in it. no dead cow right!!!have a good day kiddo, I\'m off to the city, I live in a small town too!! I have gift certificates to spend from xmas. I will be ready to challenge you to 35mins treadmill, 110 crunches. hugs tracey

Thats good...I was shooting for 1200 calorie but then decided I would start out at 1500 so that when I plateau I could drop down to 1200.
I don\'t think that\'s bad at all. Seems very reasonable to me....
