Started at 160 lbs
Currently at 156 lbs

I'm hungry often. Thinking of maybe upping the calories a bit.0 -

1460 calories per day. Enough for a hungry Wolverine.0 -
According to my TDEE - 20% calculations, 1900 a day (a bit lower than the 1997 calculation TDEE gave me, actually). I'm 5'2 and weigh 227.0

started at 136 now at 116 pounds. I am trying to maintain and I am in the process of increasing my calories to reach my maintenance of around 1800. i currently eat at around 1600 and am still losing a bit. I am slowly increasing the calories up to maintenance as I found I felt really bloated and uncomfortable when I initally switched to maintenance calories - the sudden jump up by basically one whole extra evening meal's worth of calories was just too much to stomach. Now I am nearly there with the calories and can't believe I am still losing.0

I am 130, my goal is ~110.
I have a range, rather than a hard line. I try to shoot between 1200 (MFP's recommendation) and 1500 (heybales' calculation). I'm usually at the upper end of that range (which is fine, food is good).
My macro split is set to 50/25/25 fat/protein/carbs.0 -
I'm 5'6, I started at 226, and now I'm at 146. I just reached goal, so I've been working up to my maintenance calories of 1690 according to MFP. For the past week I've been at 1600 a day. At first it seemed like I was eating sooo much, but I got used to it real quick. I'm still a little afraid I'll suddenly gain it all back (I know that's not at all realistic, but it's my secret fear), but I've stayed in control so far. I'm going to stay at 1600 for now, but if I continue to lose I will bump it up. Oh, and I always eat my exercise calories back and thoroughly enjoy it!
My macros are at 35.35.30, but I may change that to 40.40.20. I'm going to experiment, try to stick to healthy fats, keep an eye on my cholesterol, and see what works for me.0 -
Thanks for all the input. Some of the things you guys are talking about I have no clue. I haven't figured all that out. When I lost the weight I only stayed within my calorie range. i also don't take into consideration my excercise calories. I feel any excercise is a bonus.0

47yo Male, 218 -> 202 in 6 weeks. I'm using 5:2 and on the 5 days I have to stay under 1200 or I put weight on, then 2 days at 550 in fast mode gives me 7-8000 cals total per week. I have a very,very sedentary lifestyle until the Cricket season starts :-)0

I am 5'3" 159 lbs and mine is 1800 a day...and don't eat back exercise calories. I have lost a pound a week since January 1st. I have one "cheat" day usually once a week where I eat about 2100 calories. My BMR is 1500 my TDEE is 2300.0

I'm 150 lbs and eat 1950 per day without eating back exercise cals. I usually end up under that but go over significantly one day a week, so it all averages out.
Some of you peeps need to eat!0 -
I eat around 1100-1200 a day.. struggle to eat more than that, im not losing weight because my bodies holding on to all the fat I get, but feel much healthier in myself not really looking to lose weight, more to build muscle remember - skinny is NOT beautiful!!0

I have my goal set to 1320 on MFP but I usually eat 1400-1700 calories/day depending on how active I am.
I'm netting typically around 1250-1300, which is over my BMR of 1180, but below my TDEE of about 1800-2200 (on days I work out or are very active I eat a bit more).
I'm just shy of 5'0 and weigh 115lbs.0
