    Howdi Ladies, I am on 1400 per day but also delving into the exercise cals ....... Scales not moving much .... So mission for Feb is to leave the exercise cals alone. I know it will be difficult as we will have o/s rels from the UK staying with us for 1/2 of it ... Bu I will do my very best, and until they arrive, there really is no excuse. Wsh me luck.

    I try to net between 1350 and 1450 per day, and have been doing so for probably 6 to 8 months. I moved states, and don't have reliable internet access, so there are loooooong stretches where I didn't log. However, my diary is open, and I've been pretty consistent with logging for the past month or so, so feel free to check out what's there.

    I am at 1500 (started at 1480 and then upped it to 1600 and just changed it down to 1500 for a little bit faster results and cause at school I tend to go over a little, so this way I can go over and be where I was)
    I have been having success with this, especially having a high protein diet, I have it set to 40 30 30 (carb, pro, fat) and sometimes still go over on protein. My diary is public if you want to check it out

    also I eat some or all of my exercise calories back usually

    Well I WAS at 1400 til I lost ten pounds and MFP rewards me by taking away 70 cals a day..... Fine... I guess I didn't need that slice of cheese anyway you *kitten*.

    When I pretended I didn't care about Being overweight I would regularly eat three thousand cals a day. Now I feel grossly full if I get anywhere near two. That hasn't happened in awhile tho, since I rather like actually losing weight instead of just wishing I could. Add me up ladies:)

    OK, this is strange. You just posted in defense of 1200 calories and jumped all over the people who tried to tell you this was not a good idea. Now you do this? What's up?

    aren't people allowed to change their mind or try out alternative approaches to see if they work?

    My husband tells the best stories of me cussing inventively after MFP stole calories from me the first time. I'd only just figured out how to work with the amount I was given.

    On the main point, I'm lowering to 1,400 on Monday. I did the math recently and I feel that I could reach goal this year if I work at it hard enough.

    As to the website that was posted, it tells me I should be eating around 1,100 calories a day if I want to hit goal in the next 365 days. It's the only website I've found that has told me anything near that low. I'm going to go ahead and disregard that calculation.

    Just changed mine to 1475 (my BMR). Before I was trying to eat around 1,000 a day but I kept bingeing and ended up with 2000+ calories some days. My highest day was 4,000+ calories. I hope upping it will stop that.

    Also trying to NET that much now. I was aiming for negative net calories but that wasn't working LOL.

    I'm at 1420, I started on 1200 but plateaued for 3months until I began to accidentally consume an extra 300 calories per day. When I realized I was eating more but losing I upped my goal. I have never ever lost weight as quickly or as easily as I have since increasing my calories, it's great!

    I'm 1200, and can't even seem to eat that much but I'm always eating?! Confused. Is it because I'm a veggie? I tend to up my calories by sticking a glass of vino at the end which is not good!
