    5'8" 2500-2800 to maintain, 2300 to lose at a good rate.This is a daily average, I don't factor in workouts as they are already accounted for in the 2300.

    2350 after exercise and breastfeeding, which puts me at a 750 deficit.

    I'm just starting maintenance and I am working my way up from 1200 calories (low I know) to 1900 and perhaps higher if I need to. I'm feeling really full after having 1300 which is where I am right now in my transition so I'm wondering how I will feel to go up by 600 calories. I had a party lasg weekend and I ate about 1800 calories and I felt like I wanted to be sick so I guess I have to take things really slow. After seeing peoples tolds around 2200 I am starting to wonder how much I many actually need...

    I'm 5'9" my goal is to lose about 40 lbs. I'm eating 1400, I can't exercise daily but I aim for 3-4 times a week. I try not to rely on the extra calories from exercise.

    I'm not 5'9, I used to measure at 5'8. I come in at 5'6.5 now, and since apparently I have no disc degeneration, I blame it all on my spine taking a turn to the right after an injury. so REALLY it's like I've got a 5'8 frame even if that's not what I measure at.

    In any case, I'm currently 138 and after eating back exercise calories I often end up with anywhere between 2400 and 3000 calories in a day and still end up losing. slowly...but still losing.

    I'm 5"9 and my maintenance is about 1800.

    I try to eat 1800 a day and do a 600 calorie fast twice a week. But sometimes I go a little lower on the other days as well, ranging between 1500 and 1700.

    Lots. :wink: I exercise every day at the moment, so I pack away about 2000 calories a day, including a considerable amount of delicious chocolate.

    Oh..... im eating around 1450cals, It seems such a small amount compared too some? Sometimes my exercise can be quite high and I still don't eat that, and Im not loosing weight at all? Should I be eating more? Sorry to hijack your thread, you have made me curious now :)
