I've just come out of maintenance to lose 5 more lbs and my calorie goal, before exercise, is 1,480. With exercise it's around 1,600-1,700. I'm 5ft, 6in and am currently 124, working towards 119lbs (started out in the 170s last year). Exercise is walking and a bit of running.0

GW 125 (I lost close to 40 pounds in 2006, but have put some back on)
I have my cals set at 1200, but that rarely (if ever) happens. I usually end up eating around 1500-1800 cals/day. The 1200 cal thing does not work for me. I don't want to starve myself.0 -
On normal days, 1200-1600, on unplanned or planned 'cheat' days 1500-2500
Kind of in between wanting to maintain and lose, so really whatever I feel like on the day lol0 -
I want to lose a few more pounds but have managed to maintain on 1600 calories for 4 months despite having a deficit of about 400 calories a day.

Female

At a point where I'm taking the weight loss as it comes but if I had a goal, maybe another 10 lbs?
I walk. A lot. And do a little (I should totally do more) strength training. Otherwise I'd only be able to eat from 1500-1700 and that's to maintain. I like food too much to eat that little.0 -

2000-2500 kcal on rest days, 3000-3500 on lifting days, sometimes up to 4000 if ice cream somehow becomes involved.

female 5"5 and 150lbs
goal is 130lbs or around that figure.
I workout 3 days a week with kettlebell circuit for 20mins then 60mins bike 3 times a week.
I eat up to 1800cals a day but I might eat around 1600cals this week as I have bad stomach cramps lately and cant eat much. Im using the TDEE method as its so much easier to eat the same everyday and not worry about exercise calories!0 -
Female

219 lbs
I eat 1743, my TDEE at sedentary-15%, or a little less.
My goal is 140 lbs, and I am losing about .5 lbs a week.0
