Will this screw my diet up?

I have been dieting for 3 weeks. I set myself a calorie tracker. I was doin well and was beneath my calorie intake....til I noticed something. The tracker had all my info except it was set to male. I was eating 1500 instead of 1200. Im afraid I wont be able to lose the weight I need to lose by April. :c I wanted to lose about 30 but after that is it possible?

Tips on How to Lose Weight Fast for the New Year

Recommanded Answer:
Oops.. Haha. No, I'm sure you can still reach your goal by April if you now start following the diet based on recommended FEMALE calorie intake :) before you started you were probably eating more than 1500 cals daily anyway (I certainly do!) so you cut back even though you were following the male version of the diet. It might even be better in the long run because you'll have cut down gradually and given your body time to adapt. It will probably help in keeping the weight off.

• Its allright your doing fine youll.loose it
• No don't worry it's not a good idea to go too low. Personally I think 1500 cal a day is good to lose weight. If u also pair it up with a bit of exercise u should at least lose 2lbs a week.
• If you go to the free diet and fitness site sparkpeople.com they can calculate how many calories you should be eating to lose the weight by April. It's a really great site and has lots of dieting, fitness and health support. I've lost about 51 pounds since joining a while back. good luck =)
