    I'm a 38 year old female, 5'8" and 128 lbs. I am still the same weight I was at 25 however I find if I consistently go over 1300 calories (even with exercise) I start to put on weight. To maintain or loose, my goal is to eat clean --1200 cals a day/5 days a week AND exercise (P90X 3-5 times a week). On the weekends I like to have my wine, candy, and steaks! My goal is to be very fit with muscle though not just trim down so I think it really depends on what your ultimate goals are.

    I really like the idea of eating low within the week, and eating more on the weekends. I have been going somewhat in that direction. :)

    I'm 5'4", 38 years old and eat in the 1800 range. Some days are lower but other days are higher so it balances out. I'm mostly maintaining at that level. I don't have any pounds I want to lose but there are some squishy areas I would like to go away for sure! If I ate less than that I would be starving and I lift 3 days a week. I don't track/eat back exercise calories though. The 1800 is about 100-150 under TDEE, so not a big deficit. Feel free to add if you want to check out my diary.
