Hello! I will need more information from you! How many calories are you currently eating, as well as how many have you been eating with the weight loss you experienced since November?

Without knowing your personal data on how much you are eating and burning today… 500 equals one pound, so to loose 1-2 pounds a week, which is a healthy goal to lose weight safely and keep it off, you will need to eat less and burn energy to create a caloric deficit of approximately 5,000-7,000 calories a week or about 720-1000 day. Make sense?
