All these different calorie calculators have me confused as to what I really should be eating. How tall are you and how many calories are you eating that you're still losing weight?

    I'm 5'10 and eat 1300, but I think it's too low because I'm losing fast.

    6'0, my goal is set for 1840. Normally I eat in between 1200 - 1400. At first I lost 10 pounds within the first month, but I've been at this since March and my total loss is 21 pounds. I feel like I should have lost more. My weight loss has definitely slowed down.

    I'm 6'2" and I'm eating between 1500 and 1800 most days. IF I exercise, I don't always eat my calories back, depending on whether or not I'm hungry. And of course depending on how much I burn, which isn't much usually, so I don't bother. I try to stay as close to the paleo/primal way of eating, but it gets boring at times so I cheat a lot lol But so far so good.

    5'11" and eat 1200 to 1300 a day. I do not eat back my exercise burned calories. Don't find it necessary.

    Good grief.

    I'm 5'8" and lost 30 pounds in 8 weeks while eating 2600-2800 calories a day. Yes, I also nurse my son, but my intake is soooooo much more than the rest of y'alls! I'm now in maintenance mode at 3000-3300 calories a day.
