    I decided to go just above my bmr at 1700 calories. I have been really happy with that, I'm usually never hungry. The 1400-1500 range was ok for a little while but then I found myself hungry, cranky, and craving large quantities of bad food. When I went up from 1480 to 1700 I continued to lose weight no problem.

    started at 216 and now am 189

    Currently 1450 cals, I'm trying to see if eating more like TDEE-25% or something works.

    was 247 now 177

    Goal is 1200 + exercise calories, I usually save about 3000 exercise calories for the weekend. I try to end the week with all my exercise calories eaten. I run off of a 1,000 calorie deficit and don't allow more than the 7,000 for the week. Usually that results in a day where I eat/drink about 4,500 calories.

    1560. For the first week it was 1300 but I was so hungry I literally could not sleep.

    And I dont eat the extra calories on days I exercise.

    Based on my job and activity level at 5'5" and 189 pounds, MFP sugests I eat 2020 calories or so to lose 1 pound per week. I'm planning on starting there and eating at least my exercise calories over 500 earned, and I'll see how I do with that. Right now, I eat an average of nearly 3,000 calories a day, so I want to gradually lower my intake. Of course, my weekends I'm a lazy bum unless I force myself to get out of bed. However, 5 days a week I'm pretty active, so I'm hoping it will all even out. If not, I'll lower my intake a bit.

    That is great weight loss, how long did it take you to get where you are today :happy:

    I shoot for around 23-2400 a day, though I set my goal for 2200.

    Why? Because I'm a chronic over eater and always have been. :P Always overshoot my goals, 'cause I'm such a go-getter. That, and I prefer to see red over green.

    1200 is my goal most days. I go higher if I need to because of exercise or something.

    I started at 213 I think. I'm 154 now. I still have another 20-30lbs to go.

    1660 plus exercise calories. I have it set on half a pound a week, but am losing a bit more quickly than that. Started less than a month ago at 170 and am 165 today.

    MFP recommended 1414, I am 5'6" and 151 lbs. This is with no exercising. With an infant that is impossible right now.
    But in the first week I lost 6 lbs, and I thought that was a bit much since I am nursing, so I raised it to 1800.

    I'm 5'6" and my starting weight was 248.2 and today I am 218. My tdee with a 20% deficit is 1850 and my bmr is 1687 so my goal is to eat somewhere in between those two numbers.

    5'3, 198.

    1790 based on my BMR which is also pretty close to my TDEE of 1,854 with a 20% deficit that takes into account my level of exercise. Both intakes are really high though and realistically, I am almost always under by 200-300.
