    42 y.o
    5'6"
    CW/GW = 132 lbs
    HW was 157 lbs

    My maintenance calorie goal is 1720. I try to reach my weekly goal rather than daily b/c once a week I go way over so I usually go under a little the other days.

    HW: 154lbs
    CW/GW: ~120lbs

    Maintainance: 2,100cal/day. I think. Still feels like a LOT of food but I don't seem to have gained any weight. Haven't faced the scales for a while though, so who knows...

    I'm 42, 5'5", and 115lbs.
    My starting weight was 176, and my goal weight was 120, but I kept losing a bit more after hitting it.

    I currently maintain on ~1950 calories based on a moderately active TDEE. I was stable since February but have recently been experiencing some variability, I think due to a reduction in my thyroid medicine. Not sure yet if it will mean reducing my calories.

    Female, 32, 5"7 (172 cm)
    This morning I weighed about 64.7 kilos or 140 pounds. I seemed to maintaing at around 65 kilos which is good.
    Mfp had me too low and I was still losing. I am still figuring it out, but I have being eating 3000 cals sometimes a little more on work days, and tend to be a little under on weekends. I believe I was under eating when I was losing , because I lost so fast and kept losing. It turns out I am more active than I thought and even the highest activity rating was too low. I am slowly figuring out what works for me. It's not a perfect science.
