The larger the deficit, the faster you'll lose weight. But it will also be more miserable, and you lose more lean body mass. I would suggest upping your calories to an appropriate level, and doing some kind of resistance training. You're going to burn out at 1400, taking care of 5 kids.

I would advise you to track your macros, which is (in my opinion) the most efficient way to lose weight. I have a personal trainer and with the macros they helped me figure out I eat 100g of protein, 157g of carbs, and 40g of fat a day and it's been working great for me so far.

You should really only track calories to make sure you are getting enough and aren't possibly putting your body into starvation mode, which will burn muscle and retain fat. I'm 6'4", 197 lbs. and eat around 2300 calories. I track macros and shoot for around 144g protein, 180g fat, under 20g carbs.
