Yep, here I am!

Actually, as Lisa said originally, it's mainly a matter of eating sufficient calories so that you don't go into starvation mode. Mostly on this site when we tell folk to eat 10 times their current weight, they have been undereating and are wondering why their weight loss has stopped.
So if you are eating 1500, 1800, whatever, and you are losing well, I'd say carry on as you are doing.

But if you are only taking in, say, 800 cals, that's when we invoke the 10 times your current weight suggestion.

Meanwhile, there is some good info here in a former thread about this very subject.
