    I'm 5'5.5 and 134 lbs. I'm set at 1900 daily (although I'm over often) and I'm still losing a little a month. I exercise about 3 times a week, mainly cardio at the moment as I'm going through physiotherapy for muscle damage. I maintain at 2100-2300 a day.

    5'6" and ~ 125. I eat anywhere from 1500 to 2000+ depending on my activity. I use a FitBit to help me stay within my maintenance calories.

    I am 5'5" and I eat less than the 1200 calories a day. I still eat carbs (gasp!) and cheese. I also let myself have 1 to 2 glasses of wine every week. I do about 5 hours of cardio a week and I lift just a bit. I am staying at about 121lbs. I think it is a great weight. I like to work on tone and performance for my fitness test at this point.

    5'7" and my current weight is 137lbs and I am slowly gaining to 140 lbs (due to glucose levels increasing and the advice from fellow members here). I have just entered maintenance and have been increasing my calories by 50 for the past 2 weeks. I was sitting at 1500, I'm now at 1600 with a plan of increasing to 1700-1800 calories - this is mainly due to being in the first trimester and KNOWING that I don't need to "eat for two" - unfortunately it has taken me 4 pregnancies to figure this out :happy: BUT, even if I wasn't pregnant, I would still be aiming for 1600-1800 calories a day as I LOVE to eat. Also, I choose not to eat back my exercise calories. My current routine is running after a toddler, being a 1950's house wife (which I LOVE and LOATH at the same time), and doing heavy lifting at home.

    I'm 5'5.5, 124/125 lbs and maintaining at 2000+ calories. I was losing at 1700-1900.
    How anyone can survive at 1200 is beyond me.

    5'7" 128lb maintain on 1750 cals net (sed/lightly active) then I eat all exercise cals back. The jury's out on whether that number may be a little low now.

    I am 5'6' and maintaining at 129 lbs on an average of 2150 calories/day. It took about 2 or 3 months of gradually adding calories until I stopped losing and I have maintained now for a couple of months. I lift weights 4x/week and do some cardio 2x/week. I'm 43 y.o. Best of luck with finding your maintenance!
