    About 2400 because that seems to be my maintenance calories, and I'm trying to not lose.

    I lost on 1200 for a while and dropped weight far too fast... Which makes sense if that was a 1000+ daily deficit!

    I don't exercise very much and ALWAYS eat back my exercise calories, if I'm hungry for them (which I normally am!).

    I net between 900-1,100. I have been on here 12 weeks now and found eating all of my exercise calories back doesn't work for me.

    2500-3000/day. I feel that's so high when I see people eating 1200/day. And yet, I'm really hungry trying to keep it at 2500. Argh.

    I net about 800-1000 a day on my exercise days, 1200 on rest days. But I burn around 600-over 1,000 calories 6days/week and I do not eat all of my exercise calories. I like to have some room to spare incase I don't measure things properly.

    I am naughty where I eat hardly anything of late! I was under my calories yesterday by 1087 calories because I exercised I did 8 hours of solid cleaning/ironing.

    I did go away at the weekend and went over by 200 calories each day :/ but normally I have about 400 calories remaining, my target should be 1200 calories a day, I don't see the point in eating when I am not hungry!

    I net between 800-1200 depends on how much I have exercised that day

    I`m set up to loose 1.5/week with a goal of 1230 I am going back and forth on weather I`m ready to change my goal to 1pound per week since I`m within 34pounds of my goal weight and really close to being out of the obese catagory and just considered to be overweight :)

    I NET 800-1000 a day on exercise days and 1200 on non exercise days. I was on here for a year and a half eating back exercise calories and finally tried NOT doing it. And I FINALLY started to lose. Eating them back does not work for me, as I tried it anywhere from 1200-1500 calories NET. With that, I just stayed the same.
