    It completely depends on your stats and activity levels. You really can't compare.

    ^This, as it will be dependent on height, weight, gender and activity level of the individual.
  • 1200- Last 5lb to get to 143lb for my 5'3 height. I will probably lose more weight down the line, not too much, but just so I'm content enough. A lot of people say do half a lb a week when you have the last 5lb, but I've got a birthday coming up and I just want to try and see what happens when I eat at 1200 for awhile.
