I'm 5'3, 119 pounds, goal weight of 110 (a bit less actually, since I'm in ketosis so no glycogen water weight).
I'm eating around 1300 calories after taking off exercise calories. I have to eat those back or my next workout won't be any fun or very vigorous.0 -

MFP is allowing me 1240 cals in order to lose 0.5lbs a week.
I haven't lost any weight since joining but can see the reason why
Your age makes a difference too.
Also, are you doing intense training? Like interval and weights since you are so close to your goal weight?0 -

Eating 1450 net calories a day - trying to do a gradual recomp. Only started a few weeks ago and my weight has stayed the same so far so I'm assuming 1450 is my maintenance amount (it was suggested by a few different websites)0 -

I am eating 1150-1200 calories a day. When I work out which is about 5 times a week, I do give myself a cushion and eat 100 to 200 calories more a day. This is an experiment to see if eating back these calories will work to still lose weight.0 -
A goal weight, if you want to set one and I don't, needs to take into account bone structure and muscle mass as well as height. My mom, sisters and I are all about the same height but they are all very small boned while I am medium-large. For comparison, I can barely wear their wedding rings on my pinky finger. I also am much more muscular than they are. As a result, my mom weighs somewhere around 105 while I would look skeletal at that weight.
I'm lifting weights this time around. While I'm ranging in the mid-130s I'm wearing the same clothes I was wearing when I got down to 122 pounds a few years ago and wasn't lifting.0 -

I'm 5'3" - 5'4", 30 years old.
My current weight is 225-230 (haven't weighed in 10 days).
I have a lot of goal weights... right now, it's to get below 200 pounds. Ultimately, I want to get to 160-170 and see how I feel then. My "happy weight" was 133 about 6 years ago, but I haven't been below 170 in 15 years, so I'm not sure where I'll truly be healthy.
Anyway, my calorie goals range from 1300-1500... sometimes I drop down to 1200 when I need to "cleanse." A cleanse for me occurs after several days of eating fast food, junk, or just eating too much... I call it a cleanse because I intentionally eat more fruits, veggies and no eating out, plus I restrict my calories. Too much information?0 -

GW 120 a bit ambitious but thats the plan
MFP allows me 1200 cals a day. Haven't made it so far, but I am monitoring carbs anyway, so cals not important to me.
