    not sure if I qualify Psulemon, since I've been maintaining for over 3 years now. but here you go.

    SW - 235 lbs
    SBF - about 21% (that's a guess, I didn't check it actually till I was down 20 and I was at about 17%)
    CW - 184 lbs
    CBF - 11.5% (today, fluctuates between 11 and 12.5 weekly)

    Yes, I track exercise calories, I always did, and I eat them, all of them if possible. Although there are days where I work out for 3 or 4 hours generating 1500 or more extra calories, which makes it tough to stuff 4300 calories down my throat, but I try.

    I'm not that precise with my calories so I may not be good to include...

    SW 153
    SBF 28%
    CW 149
    CBF 21%
    Theoretically I eat my exercise calories.

    Started Aug 2011 - this includes 3 broken bones (@6 wks each out of the gym) and 3 major illnesses that had me out of the gym for 3 to 4 weeks each (per doctors orders).

    1. SW - 210 lbs
    2. SBF - 43%
    3. CW - 190 lbs
    4. CBF - 39%
    5. Do you eat back exercise calories? (Y/N) No, I don't think so.

    I do the eat clean diet so I vary between 1300 and 1600 cals each day (I eat small portions every 3 to 4 hours until about 7 at night and then once more if I am hungry). I have noticed I tend to want less on heavy work out days and then more the next day. I try to keep my protein at 60 to 90 grams too.

    Looking for a few more participants, more specially those who do not eat back exercise calories as 75% of the people that provided data eat theirs back.

    starting weight 198
    current weight 175 varies 2pounds

    don't have body fat but my stomach is 4" smaller

    slight loss in muscular ability was could do 9 pullups before would think I should be able to do more being lighter but I still do 9 pullups I eat back calories most of the time (the exception is if I'm not hungry)

    plan is to get to the weight I want sustain it and work on strength training then
