I still have 20-30lbs to lose, but I'll put in my 2 cents anyway...
Start weight: 300
Started MFP:270
Current:179
Goal: 150-160ish
I net 1400, eat anywhere from 1800-2400.
My TDEE is about 2750 as per my Bodymedia and I lose about a lb a week. I do kickboxing twice a week, weight training 3 times a week and a mish mash of elliptical/treadmill and/or stationary cycling for another 30-60 minutes a day.

My calorie goal is 1,700. I don't stick to it very well, go over quite often, but have been losing 0.5lb a week since I started 3 months ago so it's going OK!

I'm 24, 5'4 & have 10lbs to loose to get to goal:

SW: around 210lbs
CW: 150lbs
GW:140lbs

Currently eating around 1350 mark, more on days when working out. I've been playing around with my macros/kal intake as my weight loss came to a stand still so still need to give this a couple of weeks to see how it works out for me. Currently loosing around 0.5lb a week.

11 lbs to go currently carb cycling low 1500 medium 1700 and high 1800 so depends on the day and loosing about 1 - 2lbs a week with working out 3 - 4 times a week.

Understand everyone is totally different the 1200 MFP suggests had me plateu for weeks so changed it up and with carb cycling less training its moving again.

Good Luck keep up hard work

I just started doing IF again to get at the last little bit off, so I eat close to maintenance for 5 days (2300) and less the other two (1200). My eating window for all days is 1-10 pm, excluding coffee.

I aim to net 1200. With my workouts, that's anywhere from 1200 on non-workout days to 1800+ on longer workout days. I probably average over the week about 1500 to 1600 gross calories. I'm only 5'4". I'm having my RMR and BF tested sometime next month at the hospital.

22, 5'5.5", lightly active (desk job, workout approximately 3 times a week)

I used the TDEE method, and I am eating 1700 cals/day. On the days I don't work out (other than my daily 20 min walk home from work during the week, which I don't count) I try to eat about 1400-1500 instead.

I currently eat TDEE -18%. Wore the Bodymedia for a full year almost and average TDEE is 1950 (I have a very sedentary desk job)...have MFP set to 1550 (50 cals for underestimates). Losing about .5lbs a week (If I dont party too hard on the weekends!).

Lost the last 10lbs eating 1800-2000 cals a day, which is TDEE minus 20%. Still eating about the same amount, weight fluctuates between 135-140 during the month, clothes still fit, body fat percentage slowly lowering. Life is good. :drinker:

Best move I ever made was following the info here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/974888-in-place-of-a-road-map-2k13

I currently eat 1600. It seems to be about maintenance for me, but then I don't eat back exercise calories. I'm lifting heavy and focusing more on body recomp than scale changes right now. (OK, I'll admit I go over a couple of days a week and I don't measure everything … If I really ate at 1600 calories daily I'd probably be losing weight :laugh:)

GW: 135-140 (depending on how I feel when I get there)

Eating 1280 - 1550 (the goals MFP gives me for 1lb and 0.5 lb loss/week). I'm struggling a bit right now since I found out three weeks ago that I'm allergic to meat (!) so I've had to make some big dietary changes very quickly.

i had been eating around 1500-2000 a day (counting exercise cals) and stopped losing. for about 4 months i was stuck at 180. i am now doing a new exercise routine. (went from Jillian Michaels Hardbody 6x a week to following the Focus T25 program) and started losing again. i also dropped my cals just a bit to 1350 + exercise cals so around 1500 max a day is what i normally eat best of luck to everyone!!!

Eating 1600, my TDEE is 2000 in average I think. I walk 3-5 miles a day and just started ChaLean Extreme. I lost 6 lbs in the last month eating 1650-1750 but I was walking a bit more.
