in Introduce Yourself
I've just started over on MFP & I'd like to follow a few people who aren't just eating 1200 calories of string cheese and cereal a day. I use the TDEE method for calculating my calories for weight loss which puts me between 1800 and 2000 a day. Anyone out there losing weight by eating MORE? =)

    My goal is set at 1940, and I work out so sometimes I eat more. I've lost 9lbs so far so it's totally doable. Feel free to add me :)

    I am at 1230 calories a day, working out every day for 45-75 minutes and hardly losing any weight. I am 5'7" anf 154lbs and want to lose about 10-15 pounds. i am jealous of those who are at 1800 calories a day. I gain weight easily when I eat more. Don't know what I am doing wrong.

    I'm just curious, but what does someone else's diet have to do with you selecting them as part of your circle of friends here?

    I eat over 2000 a day. My goal is 1750, but I burn off 500+ calories a day and eat back my exercise calories. Feel free to add me.

    I'd make a separate thread (with your diary public) if you need help.

    Getting ideas for what to eat by looking at their diary (just a guess).

    My goal is 1800 calories/day. Sometimes I go over and sometimes I'm under. I really just try to eat what I want and I'm doing the moderation thing. I'm finding that I'm satisfied and not obsessing about food that's "off limits." It's working for me so far.

    For some reason, MFP wants to put me at 1200/day but another site had me at 1700. I edited it to 1600. Between exercise and eating healthy, I'm barely making 1200 but when I do 1400, I'm still ok. I'm loosing about 2lb/week. I will tell you, we're eating pretty well and often if you choose the right foods, you still won't make the calorie goal. One other site said to take your current weight, multiply it by 12 then subtract 500 for every pound you want to lose per week. At 2 lbs/week, that brings be down to about 1400. I'm push my calorie goal down until I get there but I'm not looking for quick weight loss, I'm looking for real weight loss

    If you're working out that hard, you're under eating. Eat more. Worked for me.
    Look up Eat More To Weigh Less group.

    My goal is in the 1700s to lose 2lbs a week because I have 100ish to lose. I try to hit that as a minumum but some days I totally forget about eating for a few hours and end up under. Some days I eat too much and end up over. But the average is about 1750. (TDEE has me at that for this rate)

    ETA: I've been losing consistently, even if it isn't an exact 2lbs per week. And my measurements are going down. I cut in half the estimated calorie burns for workouts and eat most of it back.
