Hey everybody. I used to be very active playing all kinds of sports and stuff. But then I stopped doing as much and became 148lbs at 5'5. I am still very muscular and have a lot of strength so i dont look that bad. This summer I am gonna resume being as active as I used to be and will probably loose a lot of weight. My goal is to be 120-125 lbs by September 14 (when high school starts.) I went on this website where it tells you how many calories per day you are burning including your metabolic rate and the activities that you do. When I did it I got 6,500 calories per day! This is definately correct because I am gonna pretty much be doing something all day long like running swimming, tennis, tae bo, pilates, etc. I was wondering if it it safe to loose weight at a fast pace like this because I will be eating 2500 calories per day. So that equals to 8 pounds of weight loss per week. I know that sounds very dangerous, but is it really? I mean, I am gonna do it the right way and not starve myself??? Please help
SORRY I POSTED AGAIN BUT I REALLY NEED MORE ADVISE!!!!!!

clifford, where the HECK did u get your info. its not unhealthy to eat alot if you burn ALOT of caloires! and second of all, up to 2000 caloires or so is healthy for an average person,not up to 1500. for a person who works out alot, they can eat MUCH more than that. think normally! if a rock climber works out every day for 4 hours(burning 4000-5000cal) wont the person have to eat at least 3000 caloires?
