I try to keep may calories between 1200 and 1800 depending on the activity level of my day. I am military so I do vigorous calistenics and running for about an hour 3 days a week along with warehouse work all day long. I try to make it to the gym for about an hour (30 min cardio 30 min strength) after work. About to try the 30 day shred starting next week!

SW: 310 pounds (October 27th 2011)
CW: 250 pounds
GW: 130 pounds

My daily calorie intake is 1,000-1,200 calories and around 1400 calories on a 'cheat' day.
In November 2011, I started doing an hour Tae Bo workout every day.
Starting last month (Feb. 2012), I now do an hour and a half Tae Bo workout in the morning, an hour Tae Bo workout in the evening and 40 minute power walking/jogging combo- 6 days a week.
I make sure to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and haven't had any sugary drinks since November of last year.
I allow myself a 'cheat' day once a week- which can mean as little as a candy bar or as much as pizza for dinner- whatever I am craving most for the week.

I eat from anywhere between 1,000-1,200 calories a day. I switch it up a fair bit to keep my metabolism up.
I do cardio every other day as a goal, but if I can fit it in every day, I do!

My caloric intake varies between 850-1200 daily just for the simple fact I do the low carb/high protein diet. This is what has worked for me and has allowed me to over come obesity. It hasn't been easy but I DID IT!

Hey Ladies! I am 5'1.75" (That 0.75 is important when you are as short as us!)

MFP has my calorie goal set at 1400, which is enough that I don't have to eat my work out calories back to be satiated, but I allow myself to if I feel like it. I try to do 20-30 minutes of cardio (mostly treadmill and elliptical) 4-5 days a week and then I always do a few sets of push-ups, sit-ups, planks, etc., before I get in the shower each night.

Feel free to add me as a friend, I love to converse with people who have similar goals!

MFP has my calorie goal set at 1200, and I try REALLY hard to get close to that many. The only exercise I am currently doing is the 30DS- i'm on day 12- and yoga, but plan to start running within the week!

Feel free to add me!

I started eating 1200 calories while working out six days a week. Started getting really hungry.
Moved to 1300 calories working out six days a week. Stopped losing weight, started bouncing between 126-125.
Now eating 1500 calories and working out four days a week. Dropped 2lbs during the first four days of eating 1500 cals (and with no workouts).
Still losing while eating way more than I thought possible!

Friend me if you want support

I eat 1400-1800 depending on exercise. I work out 6 days a week, will start lifting again next week once I get the all clear from my doctor. The number on the scale isn't my ultimate goal, it's the BF %!

I lost my first 5 lbs on Ideal Protein last summer. I quit the program after a week, I was starving and not in a very good mood so I quit. I started Turbo Fire exercise dvd on January 23rd. The first four weeks I ate 1500 calories working out 6 days a week. Now I eat 1400 calories working out 6 days a week. I will re-evaluate at the end of next week to determine my calories again.

I have been doing MFP since mid January, and "changing my lifestyle" since mid-December. It feels SO slow, but I just taking it one day/week at a time. I try to stick to around 1260 cals per day, and have my macros set at 40% protein, 35% carbs, and 25% fats. I am consistently UNDER calories and struggle with getting enough protein, but I'm not always starving, and I quit eating when I'm full.

MFP set me at 1200 and I stay almost right at it daily. Some days I'm 10 under and some days I'm 10 over. I will eat back my exercise calories if I'm hungry. I see no point in eating them if I'm not hungry.

I was down to 110-113 but I went off the wagon and got up to 124 so I am trying to get back down. I was only eating 1200 cals exercising 5 days a week and now I am doing 1320 eating exercise cals so I don't gain it back. 1200 is really low.
