What were your calories/day??

I am trying to lose 75 pounds currently and I have a daily intake of less than 1590 cals. It's working so far. I've lost 4 pounds in two weeks. Hope that helps!

For those of you who have lost your weight and/or are being successful at losing now, how many calories did you allow yourself each day? I need to lose about 60 lbs, so I am wondering about people similiar to me, that have had or do have quite a bit to lose. I just feel like 1200 for me is not enough...

For every person it is different because of weight, lifestyle, how much your trying to lose, and how much work your willing to put into it

What you could do if you are interested in more calories is try to lose the weight slower such as 1/2 a pound a week or 1 pound a week OR you could make sure you add 30-60 minutes of cardio this could be running, riding a bike, the eliptical, zumba, etc this way you are earning calories from exercise which you can eat

Also at first I thought this is gonna be hard no way this is enough calories for me but you find other ways to switch foods like instead of eating bread I eat flat outs or tortilla wraps, instead of sausage i eat turkey sausage, low fat cottage cheese instead of whole cottage cheese - As you go you will find it will get easier and easier to go under your calories - If you can eat veggies then that is a big filler item that can be extremely low calorie

I'll be about 40 lbs. down in a week or two. I started on 1200 and lost a little. Then I plateau'd.

Now, I fluctuate between 1300-1600 calories. Fluctuating my calories and keeping them inconsistent has helped me. (But I AM consistent with tracking my food and remaining in that range.) 1500 calories is my -500 calorie deficit based on my TDEE.

Not having the same calories allotment everyday seems to have helped my weight loss.

I'm just now trying intermittent fasting, paying more attention to my macros, and weight lifting. I've only been doing it for 2 weeks now, so it's too soon to say what the results will be. I'm still in the learning process and tweaking things as I go.

Edit: I should note my average weight loss is 2-3 lbs. per week.

1700. 1200 is not enough to keep you healthy unless you're thin-boned and about 4 ft. tall.

ive lost 188 pounds with another 17-35 pounds to go and i eat 1800 cals and have for most of my journey. Feel free to add me to see my diary

I've been netting right around 1500 for the past two months (with one day a week at maintenance), and I'm down 28 pounds. I'm pretty comfortable there.

I am getting about a 20% cut from TDEE.

I have only been tracking since I started on here a few months ago, when I joined I was already 58lbs down, since joining here I lost another 11lbs, on non-workout days I am 1100, on workout days around 1400, high protein.

I have changed my eating since tracking on here, big one is knowing how much protein I was consuming and increasing that, increasing healthy fats and drastically cutting my sodium.

Those changes allowed for the latest 11lbs to come off, and hopefully the last 10 before I reach my maintenance weight.

I do a hard workout out 6x a week.
