I have no idea what this means... thanks, erin ============ Quoting from kakaroto: what your BMR? =============

I'm also 5'4" female and I only lose weight with the suggested calories if I do quite a lot of cardio, and have no nights off, which is quite hard to sustain. If I'm trying to lose, I usually eat a little less than the suggested amount, as I like to have one meal a week off - I find this helps to prevent cravings etc. If you find that you're not losing with 1900 calories, try cutting back to 1600-1700 and see how things go for a week or two. good luck -------------- The path to righteousness is a cycle path
