Friends trying to stay in the 1200-1500cal range

My goal is now at 1480 and I occasionally eat back all of my exercise calories. I normally eat a few, but not that many. Feel free to add me as a friend if you eat/exercise similarly!

Same here! I'm anywhere from 1000 - 1400 and eat back about half of my exercise calories. Always looking for new friends!

For all the newbies I would suggest reading this post: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12. It explains a lot about your calories needed and how to calculate them a little better. I'm suprised many people haven't jumped on this yet as the 1200 calorie goal tends to be a constant source of disagreement on MFP.

Full disclosure: I am not consistent in logging and usually only make it mid-day so my diary is open but not always accurate. I am working on this. My goal is 1760 calories and I DO NOT eat back my exercise calories. This is calculated with me doing the P90X lean program which I started again on 7/18/13. I know lack of exercise and my love of alcohol are what has slowed me down but when I made the change from 1200 to 1760.... I did not gain weight! I find I am fuller and happier and have been going on the increased calorie goal for a couple months now. Although I did recently do 2 3-day juice fasts this past month just to experiment.

Good luck everyone!

Hello

I try to stay within 1200-1400 calories a day. I eat mostly clean all week and usually designate Saturday as kind of a cheat day..that just seems to work best for me. My diary is open to my friends if you want to add me
