I'm new to this website, and wanted to introduce myself, and at the same time ask a few question.

I started my new lifestyle this week, and although I've tried losing weight before, I am truly motivated this time. I found a link to "Fit Day" on the forums, and have been keeping track of the the calories I eat.

My question is, how many calories should I actually be eating daily in order to lose about 1-2 pounds per week? I measure 5'1". Also, I am mostly sedentary, I'm a fairly busy student, but have dedicated myself to workout at least three times per week for about half an hour.

Thanks!
