    Daily Calories:1200 (however I tend to eat between 1200-1400 most days)
    Height: 5'2"
    Current Weight: 118
    Calories burned from Exercise: between 250-500 on most days with one wicked day of 600-800+ a week

    I'm usually starvingggg if I eat 1200 calories so I am thinking of just trying to net around 1000, which would allow me to eat between 1300-1500 most days. I know that I should net 1200 but I think that my calories burned estimates from MFP are high and that when I measure my food it isn't EXACT so the 200 cals would be a little buffer :)

    Daily Calories: Was at 1250 but last week upped it to 1500 (maintenance was 1480). Eventually I will be starting P90X and upped my calories for that. Still losing!
    Height: 5'2"
    Weight: 123.4 (as of this morning!)
    Calories burned: 300-500 3-4 days per week.

    Looks like we got some more underweight people. Don't know why anyone would think underweight is healthy. You're not getting your nutrients eating less than 1200 calories so most likely with aerobic exercise you are losing muscle not fat (your body doesn't have enough to spare). And the ones eating less than 1200 are already underweight. Enjoy your muscle loss!
    I have to assume one of two things. You are a troll looking for reaction. Or, you are ignorant. I could go toe to toe with you all day, but it really is not worth my time. And I never argue with people who hide behind kittens

    What's-a matter you, hey, gotta no respect
    What-a you t'ink you do, why you look-a so sad
    It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place
    Ah, shaddap you face

    Daily Calories: As long as I'm under 2000, I'm happy. I know lots of people think this is too high, but I have to do what's right for me. Restriction and dieting has gotten me no where.

    Height: 5' 8"

    Current Weight: 261

    Calories burned from Exercise: I don't really count these, but I average 4 - 4.5 hours of exercise a week.

    It's not high at all. I wore my HRM for 24 hours as a test (and this was on a lazy day. 5'2" and 125 at the time). I burned an estimate of 2300 in 24 hours.

    Couldn't have put it better myself!!!!!!!!!
    I have to say that 99% of the people on here are supportive and sensitive to others and I for one think this site is amazing

    ....then there's the other1% of people who think they know it all! Just because they may have been successful in reaching their own goals theythink it gives them the right to lecture and dictate to others and metaphorically poke the people who need a bit of empathy and understanding with a big pointy stick!!!

    Some people clearly don't have the intelligence or capacity to understand that it's not just about losing weight or gaining weight....there's a lot of stuff inbetween! some people have food issues or distorted self image issues and while we may not be able to solve those problems on this site, we can at least be supportive and offer encouragement and empathy!

    What we don't need on here is spiteful, rude, tactless and hurtful comments or back handed 'advice'!!!!

    Charlie - Easy boy.

    Just an FYI that 1200 is the "standard" however please keep in consideration that while this number is completely inappropriate for large men it is also off key for very small women. A petite woman under 5ft can easily survive and function on lower numbers. 1200 is a generalization.

    Also - just a kind reminder that Disney is releasing "Bambi" from the vault this week. Please take a few moments out of your day to watch the movie and let the lessons sink in. "If you can't say something nice... don't say nothing at all..."

    Calories burned from Exercise: around 500 each session (4 times a week)
