Tell me what is working for you

I have lost a little over 75lbs, and want to lose about 35-40 more. My calories are set at 1200 but I typically eat 1300-1400 when I exercise which is pretty much daily at this point. It wasn't always, but I find that exercising has really helped my mood and helps keep my stress in check so that is the main reason I do it daily. M-F morning I do an on demand walking program anywhere from 10 to 25 mins.(similar to Leslie Sansome) Some are pretty intense, others are light. Then in the afternoon or early evening I walk 4 miles. Takes anywhere from 1 hour to 1 hour 10 mins. I recently hurt my knee so I have been doing the elliptical instead.
As for protein, I try to have some at each meal, egg whites and canadian bacon for breakfast, diced chicken, nuts or tuna in salad for lunch, and dinner always includes chicken, fish, beef, pork or seafood. For snacks protein in greek yogurt, hummus and peanut butter so I try to include them.
What works for me is eating a lot of vegetables, big variety of them and switch up how I cook them.

I'm nearing my goal where it is getting hard to lose the last few pounds. Changing up the workouts daily I think helps. I do cardio, circuit training and weights almost every day with a day off occasionally to give the body rest. I set my goals using MFP for 1.5 pounds a week loss and used the calories it calculated as a guide. Many days I eat back a lot of the calories I burn in my workouts. I've had a lot of NSV victories and those are the best.

Good luck!

Consistency, logging and honesty. When I don't do all 3 I fail.

I know what works for me, I just have to stick with it 24/7, and adapt it as a lifestyle change, not some diet with an expiration date because, well that didn't work either.

you've lost... maybe you just need to be patient?

ETA: Someone else's calorie goals would be like wearing someone else's shoes. Most aren't gonna fit just right.

I started out weighing 219 and basically ate very low calorie 1000-1200 a day. No exercise. I lost around 15 lbs but it took months because I would eat VLC for a week, then get hangry and splurge like crazy for days and days. It was terrible.

Then I joined the gym with a mission to get back on track. I still was eating VLC (1200 a day) but now I was working out and not eating my exercise cals. I was losing my hair, hangry all the time, brittle nails and generally not happy. I was also splurging on weekends. One day, I was walking to my car and blacked out. My dr said I was healthy and losing weight so the black out must have been an anomoly. I did not believe her so I came online and found MFP. It was like the heavens opened with all the info here.

I learned that I was not eating enough each day and therefore not taking care of my body. I was eating enough on a weekly basis because of the splurges but not daily for the amount of activity I was doing.

I started my account with MFP in April 2013 weighing 196 and set it to a 1 lb a week weight loss goal, knowing that this would take a long time. I bought a heart rate monitor to determine my exercise cals and a fitbit to help me figure out if there were any extra cals that I burned but did not take into consideration.

I ate nearly every calorie that MFP, FB and my HRM told me to eat. Early on I was averaging 1650 a day but as I started to exercise more, I increased that. Then as I got closer to my goal weight, I lowered my weight plan to .5 lb a week loss. I was eating about 1850 cals a day. Now I am at maintenance and I eat around 2100 a day, depending on my activities.

As for the types of food, I found a few cookbooks for low calorie meals that I did for a while, especially when I was eating 1600 or so a day. I wanted to good tasting food but not always chicken and salad. Now I eat like I used to but skip the frequent fast food meals. I frequently eat ice cream, steak, burgers, tacos, candy and all sorts of other goodies but only if I have calories for it. I cook a lot at home so I can control the calories but if my hubby or friends want to eat out, I dont say no. I either make good choices if available or enjoy the meal and work to have extra cals in the bank over the next few days.

I use a digital food scale for everything I eat. I only use measuring cups for free flowing liquid like milk or water. If the nutrition counter has a grams rating, I weigh it.

I also drink water, sleep at least 7.5 hours, and try to avoid stress.

This!

TDEE-20%, 40/30/30 macros, IIFYM, lifting heavy, some cardio, but mostly lifting.

ETA: The obvious stuff, such as accurately logging and weighing your food is key,

This. Definitely this.
