So I weigh 164 and have myself set at sedentary and losing 1/2 pound a week which gives me

1620 calories and I exercise up to 600 calories a day and eat them back as well.

But this is new, until last week I had it set at 1 pound lose a week and my weight didn't change for two weeks, then magically went up 2 pounds overnight. This week, while eating the slightly higher amount of calories, I have dropped those 2 pounds and hope to keep going down...

What do you eat and exercise?

    I weigh 142 and have 1200 calories a day. I try not to eat my calories back unless hungry except on Saturdays when I do 90 min of Zumba-I use those extra 700+ calories burned to have myself a good ol cheat day :) I also have a fitbit so I set a goal of 2100 calories to BURN a day which gives me 700+/- a day deficit if I stay within my 1200 a day calorie limit. Since I have used my fitbit and made my deficit at 700 I have consistantly lost 2lbs a week. Find out what works for you and stick with it. :) Everyone is different but as long as you burn enough calories to have a deficit then you should lose. Also, make sure your sodium and carbs aren't too high-you will bloat like no one's business! Good luck!

    150.0 pounds, 1720 calories. I'm set to lose 1/2 pound a week, but i think i might be happy at this weight. It's more about cutting fat than losing pounds for me at this point. I'm set to lighlty active.

    I'm part of the "Eat More to Weigh Less" group and I'm 143 pounds eating 1965 a day. I don't eat back my exercise calories unless I am under my BMR ~1400.

    the last time i used a proper scale it said 160 (highest weight was 185 - so i lost 25lbs so far) but today i was on a different scale and it said 165... not sure. but somewhere around 160-165. my calorie goal with no exercise is 1,340. I think it's set to losing a pound and a half per week. I described myself as lightly active i think?
