    At the start, last January I ate 1500 everyday day irrespective of how much exercise I did. I lost approximately 1lb a week. In August 12, for health reasons I commenced 5:2 fasting which meant 2 days I was only eating 500, but I upped my calories on weekend to 1700. This meant I was averaging about 1250. I reached my goal of 126 lbs but then decided to readjust my goal to 119 and reached 121, but due to Christmas New Year have gained 3 lbs, so am still working on losing. Then I need to work out maintence including incorporating the 5:2 regime

    I am 5 ft 4. 50 years old. Started at 12.4, 172lbs am now 8.13' 125 lbs. I swim 6 days a week and run 4. This has been my exercise regime for several years so I have gained and lost with this level of activity.

    Hope this helps and good luck.

    My intake is 1200, but due to various reasons, I'm very sedentary. It got upped to 1300-1400 a couple times during the holidays though.

    I currently weigh 130lbs and am aiming for 119 (although will likely stop at 122). My BMR is around 1350 as sedentary although I am a school teacher so should probably be lightly active. I therefore tend to eat around 1350-1450, however, I am probably a little under the last couple of days to shift the Christmas weight gain - although always over 1200.

    Hope that helps

    Wow, interesting reading....

    I'm 5'4, currently at 204lb, and MFP put my calorie intake at 1800, Maybe I should reduce it too 1500 coupled with excercise?

    I work shifts as a Nurse, so dont often have three main meals. I am planning to use fruit in my snack breaks at work.

    I eat 2000. That's about 1700 for me and 300 because I'm breastfeeding. I run a few days a week and do various circuit training things almost every day.

    I am 5"4, weigh 172 lbs, my ultimate goal is 140 lbs. My goal calorie intake is 1510 but often less because I rarely eat that many calories. I am very active too.

    160 here. I eat (or really just aim to eat) 1470 + (50-100% of exercise cals). I only count intentional exercise as exercise (i.e. I don't count my routine 2ish miles of walking that I do as a city dweller, but I do count time at the gym)

    I eat 1500-1700 calories per day. Much less and I run out of energy. I'm 38 years old and I weigh 290.8.

    Hello,
    My daily intake is 1200 but varies 100 either way and is dependent on amount of activity.
    Starting weight was 229lbs, target weight is around 129. My job is sedentary so try to do as much exercise as I can.
    The key is to maintain your healthy food choices and regular exercise.

    I don't suggest cutting down your calories that much. Eat (and love) the 1800 calories. You have a busy life, you need the calories. If you DID drop it to 1500 and exercised, you'd have to make sure that you ate back those calories.

    I'm 5'4 and 133 pounds. Currently, before working out, my goal is set at 1260. I work out pretty much daily and I try to eat at least some of those calories back, which puts me at about 1300-1500 a day. On top of that I allow myself one "free" meal per week. It keeps me sane.
