    1200 and I can usually stay at that but I tend to go over on my carbs, fat and not get nearly enough protein. I need some new snacks!

    134 lbs, 5'4", 1400 calories. I've played around with it a bit and decided that I don't want to be stuck at 1200 calories.

    I read for women to lose the weight the goal should be 1200. That sucks lol
    But I also been told in the prison system they survive off 1200 calories daily.
    So we have to man up and lose these extra pounds for 2012. We can do this!!

    I'm 5'6" and currently weigh 166lbs. I was loosing really well, but have been stuck at this weight for a couple of weeks now. I might try to eat a bit more. I'm usually under my calories.

    I'm 5' 4" and 153 pounds - I do 1300/day. I use between 1200 - 1300 and rarely go over. I do not normally eat my exercise calories back either.

    I'm 5'10", 185lbs and I set mine to 1400. The first week and a half of 1200 was just unrealistic for me, I was starving!

    I changed mine to 1400 for the same reason. Now I am getting full and still eating what I need to eat.

    5'3", 127 pounds. According to MFP, my BMR is 1272 and my total daily expediture (before exercise) is 1720. I actually think MFP estimates BMR on the low side for most people, but that's another post altogether.

    I aim to eat at least 1600 calories daily. More if I'm hungry on a workout day. I try to eat pretty close to my maintenance calories and let my deficit come more from my weekly exercise. This makes me happy because I LOVE eating. :happy:

    1320. But to be honest, I haven't even hit the 800s in at least 2 months.

    This recommended 12000 but I believe I would start at that rate, lol - I up'd it at 1500 and so far I have been able to keep it just below well except yesterday

    --- My starting weight is 260 lbs and I'm 5'6".
    --- My working day is not active since I work a desk job.
    --- Right now, I'm set to loose 1 lb/week, so MFP says I should eat 1860 cal/day.
    --- That means, to maintain this weight I'd have to eat 2360 cal/day (add 500 cals/day because 1 lb = about 3500 calories).
    --- I put my goal weight, 150, into CalorieCount.com and it came up with a maintenance daily calorie intake of 1664. If I were to change my goal weight to 160, my maintenance daily calorie intake would be 1718. I'm still not sure what the best goal weight would be for me to be able to maintain it. According to my BMR calcuation, my goal weight should be in the range of 114.6 to 154.9 pounds, but the daily calories at even the high end of that range looks a little low to me, so I may settle for a slightly higher, but maintainable maintenance weight.
