    My calorie goal before exercise is 1700, but when I exercise, I eat more than that, usually over 2000.

    I eat my BMR which is around 1775, but I have an extra 116 added on for my pregnancy (I add 11 each week). I started out at 302 and I'd like to be 180. But my current goal is to not gain any weight while pregnant. Doctor said he wants none and gave me the nudging to keep losing a few pounds.

    My calorie goal isn't quite 1800, at the moment it's about 1700 but often due to exercise the calorie goal ends up above the 1800 mark :)

    I'm in maintenance and exercise 6 days per week. My daily goal is anywhere from 1800-2300 calories depending on how hard I worked out. I am 5'4" tall and weigh 122 pounds.

    I have moved up from 1600 to 1800 for the past week or so. Sometimes I eat a bit extra if I am feeling it. I am more looking to tone up for now. My ticker says I want to lose another 20 pounds, but I would be happy with another 10 or just toning up at this point.

    I eat 1800-2000, net 1300-1500. Have lost 106 lbs so far (50+ before MFP, also had a pregnancy in there so re-gain and re-loss counted in there too) I want to lose another 50-60 lbs.

    I have 80+ left to go. My BMR is 1850. I'm eating at 15% cut of TDEE (TDEE = 2400) so I'm eating at 2040 right now.

    I usually eat 2200-2500 calories, but my daily burn is usually around 3200-3700. Sometimes I have to find stuff to eat just so I don't have too much of a deficit.

    My "goal" is 1310.

    I usually eat 1700-1800 calories a day by virtue of exercise. Otherwise, I'm targeting 1250, which just isn't enough.

    How's that working out for you? I'm also about where you are and am terrified of upping my intake.

    *Waves* I eat 2500 a day and my goal is to lose the last few lbs (approx 5lbs) to get some more muscle definition before I bulk again in October.

    This includes lifting at the gym around 5 x a week and an active job.

    I'm on maintenance, though I have my goal set to lose a few more lbs, I'm not in a rush to lose them. I met my initial goal about 2 weeks ago, so I'm good where I am, even if I don't lose any more. My maintenance calories are 1770, but I exercise 6 days a week, still, and usually wind up eating closer to 1900-2200 lately.

    ETA: I'm 5'5", weigh 140-ish, depending on the day. I started at 165 and I've been eating over 1600 for a few months, until recently, it was generally falling between 1600-2000 on any given day.
