Great question: I see you want to lose weight safely. You want to make sure calories in and out monitored. If you are working out a lot, make sure you are eating healthy but ENOUGH. I find women often will restrict calories too much. We do not want the body to think it is starving, just weight loss. But keep up the good work otherwise!
