    5'3" 122lbs looking to lose the last 2 to get to 120. I eat 1350 on days I don't work out and eat most of my exercise calories back on days I do. I lose about 0.5 lbs a week like MFP says I should.

    5'3. Currently 116 lbs as of today. I am usually anywhere between 1200 -1600.

    I usually have a 1600 cal day once a week, a 1200 day twice and the rest are usually in between. Am maintaining. my body seems to know when to take that 1600 cal day now.. I am not afraid of the high cal day now. It's just not everyday which makes a difference for me.

    5'9 160lbs.... i eat 1500 cals per day plus usually half of my work out calories when i work out. I wish i was the type of person who struggled to reach 1200 calories (honestly i find it EASY to eat all my calories!) but i'm pretty careful about what i eat

    Five foot, one and three quarters. I weighed 263 and I'm now at 257, my calories are 1,820 but I usually eat around 1,500 if not less and I work out six days a week, 30 minutes a day, burning around 500 - 700 calories. :flowerforyou: Oh, and I don't eat back my exercise calories.

    I eat what MFP says to eat, so it all depends. If I don't exercise, I believe Im set at 1240. But when I do, I eat 1/2 back. So somewhere around 1600-1800. And I rarely plateu for more than a week.

    4'10" and I try to stay right at 1200 calories. I eat anywhere from 950 to 1300 calories, but mostly right at 1200 calories.

    I started out at 180 pounds and have managed to lose 9 pounds so far. It took me about 5 weeks to lose the 9 lbs.

    I don't eat back my exercise calories.

    I'm eating 1350 which is my BMR
    When I exercise I eat most of my calories back, but I don't go ever my TDEE w/o exercise (1666) Unless I'm super hungry that day. C:

    Well that's not necessarily true, sometimes I eat them all back, sometimes I eat more, like on the weekends. I'm 80% behaved. LOL

    My Fitness Pal has calculated 1240 calories per day for a 1 pound per week weight loss. I am 5'7" but I am 55 so my metabolism is that of a slug. I have really kept it around 1000 net and I am losing 1 pound per week. I have been on the program since June 1.:sad:

    I'm 5'2" and I weigh 122lbs. I eat 1200 calories but I do go over at least once a week. If I workout I tend to be fine but if I don't move my butt I end up in the red.

    4'10 108lbs and normally I try to eat 1300-1600. I'm going to see a nutritionist tomorrow and I'm hoping she will help me set a good daily goal to lose the rest of this fat and tone up.

    I am 5'3". I work out 5 days a week and am nursing my 9 month old. At 1800 calories I wasn't losing but when I would go over I started losing. So, I upped my calories to 2300. I know this seems high but my daughter is still getting up 2 plus times a night so between being active with her, lack of sleep, nursing, and exercise I guess I am burning quite a few calories.
