    1310 to lose a pound a week.

    As someone who is historically used to eating about 700 calories more than that, it's proving to be a bit of a challenge! In the two days that I've really been tracking, I was over by 70 one day and *just* under by 37 the other. But I am ready for the lifestyle change and am looking forward to the results - both looks-wise and health-wise. :happy:

    I am set for 1200 per day for 2 lb weight loss per week, but I never quite get more than 8-900 calories everyday. I am drinking more water and feel stuffed and just don't want to eat anymore.. Very little exercise.. Is this good or not?

    1200 before exercise (usually 1500 after I exercise; no, I don't eat all of my exercise calories back).

    I'm set at 1350 base to lose 1.5#/week.
    Then I eat 25-50% or so of my exercise calories which usually puts me at 1450-1600. :smile:

    I lost really steadily on 1200 cals for about 4 months but I had to start eating more to break through these plateaus (oh yeah, 2 of them) I've been struggling with over the last 2 months or so.
