I haven't started to maintain yet (still losing, though not on purpose because I feel I've pretty much reached my goal) and I've been eating between 1800-2000 calories per day.

I'm 5'9" and 149 lbs as of Saturday.

I'm not sure if I'm done yet, but right now I am at 1700 + exercise calories.

I'm 132 lb and 5 foot 8.

I'm pretty similar... 5'9" and currently maintaining at 137lbs. MFP put me at 1710 per day and I also have a very sedentary Mon-Fri job, but I do exercise at least 5, if not, 6 days a week. Still not sure how it is going as I think I am only on Week 2 of maintenance, but I do know that I am having a hard time eating all of my calories, especially on exercise days (which happens to be most days).

1560 cals plus exercise, so I usually eat 1700-1800 calories.

Height - 5ft 1in.

Exercise 30-40 minutes 5-6 days/week

I just found this group. I've been dieting for about 18 months (started well before I joined MFP). Altogether I lost 30 pounds, which was half of my long term goal, but I hit a wall, not only in terms of weight loss but also in terms of motivation. At that point I was consuming 1200 net calories per day and not losing weight. I found a large number of people who were posting that when you hit a plateau you need to raise your calories. I tried increasing my calories to the level MFP said was my maintenance level, which was 1600 calories a day or 11 times my weight, and I gained 5 pounds! So I decided to find my real maintenance point, which appears to be about 1350 net calories. I'm 5'9 and weigh 158 at the moment. So maintenance for me is only about 9 times my body weight.

I've read several articles about how our bodies pump out more appetite hormones and slow our metabolisms for more than a year after we've lost weight. So I've decided to stay on a maintenance diet for a while, maybe a year. I will go back to dieting later. Right now I just want to keep from gaining back what I've lost! I'm actually having a hard time with that. My appetite has gone crazy. I will finish a meal and feel like I could eat a second one. It seems as if once I started letting myself eat a little more, the dam broke on my appetite control. I'd love to hear any suggestions on how to deal with this.

I've been pretty much maintaining for around 9 months or more. MFP maintenance cals is 1930 but I keep my goal on 1/2lb loss p week since I'm a bit naughty on weekends LOL So it generally works though I sometimes unintentionally lose. At that goal cals is 1680.

I'm 5'4" and weigh 122 pounds. My maintenance number is 1530 and my activity setting is "Lightly Active". I exercise 6 days a week with a combination of cardio and strength training. I eat most of my exercise calories because I lose weight if I don't.
