    Jealous you're all maintaing on more calories, I'm upping mine every week but 1500 seems to be my limit before I gain!
    @ourbabyblog how long do you let the gain show for before you cut your calories?? if you cut within a few weeks its too soon to tell, you need to allow a month and see. I will post the link to my maintenance topic so you can see how I reverse dieted up to 2100.

    Well, I'm 5'10", 54, and definitely could not maintain on that. My base is 1700 and I usually got a few hundred more from exercise. I've been maintaining for 2 years, so, best of luck to you!

    Just realized I kind of mis-read the thread lol, but based on what I do now I would assume I would be maintaining around 2000 when I am at a lower weight. :)

    5'5", 25 y/o, 125 lbs... I maintain on 1800 if I don't exercise at all and 2000/day if I'm in a regular routine of running 5K 3x a week and lifting 3x a week. Been doing this for two years.

    I have maintained on a range of calories depending on current activity. When I was in the 2000 range I was lifting intensely for an hour 4 times per week and walking 5k at least 3-4 times per week.

    I'm 5'4", 30 years old, 123 lbs.

    I track 1800-1900 but I figure I might hit 2000-2100 daily. I recently noticed that if you track in grams it is a lot different than measuring in cups and spoons plus any eating out throws everything off. So with that in mind I am getting stricter on measurements but allowing for 2000 on work out days and less on rest days. I've lost 40 lbs in a year but only 10 since July. (7 months!!) But I am getting stronger so that's a plus.
    I lift with a trainer 4 x week and HIIT 3-4x My work life is mostly sitting at the computer. I want to get leaner but don't feel well eating at 1400-1500.
    5'7" 167 43 years old. my pinch test shows BF @ 18% (down from 43)
