Down 2 more lbs - time to up my calories ;)

According to this week's weigh in, I'm down 2.2 more lbs which puts me at 207. This is good news, of course and it kind of makes me think I should keep doing what I've been doing. Yet, I'm starting to worry that I'm going to put my body into starvation mode and stop losing within the next few weeks. I went on the daily plate and it said should eat 1585 calories per day in order to lose 2 lbs. per week. This kind of doesn't make sense to me since my understanding was that you need to subtract 500 calories (daily) for every pound you want to lose in a week - that formula would put me at under 1200 calories, but I'm going to give the higher amount a shot. I suppose the worst that can happen is that I'll gain a couple of pounds in the next week (actually I don't think that's possible at 1600 - just that I won't lose as much), and then I'll have to readjust. We'll see how it goes :).
