What is your daily calorie goal? I am 212, usually net between 1350 and 1500. I hear a mix of recommendations, high vs low is best, but was wanting to hear from other ladies starting around my weight that have lost weight what their daily goals have been. Thank you!

    when I started (250lbs), it gave me about 1500. I didn't realize I was supposed to eat back my exercise calories, though, so I should have been eating 2200-2300 total.

    I'm 233 right now. Usually I eat 1800-2100/day. I don't specifically eat back exercise calories but I am pretty active.

    I have my goal set at 1330. I try to stick close to that during the week, regardless of exercise, because I usually end up closer to 1800 on the weekends (which is fine by me), though I don't stress if I go over by a little (50-100 or so). Average is around 1450-1500 per day. I'm 5'5" and 208.

    Thanks ladies!! Im not really exercising regularly yet, so im pretty sure my range is good for now. I just dont want to eat too few and stall progress, or too much and do the same!.

    I'm 5'7 and weigh 2??lbs. I just ordered a scale off Amazon so I will know in about a week. But I can tell you that I'm down an inch in my waist since I started eating healthier beginning of September. But only started tracking again with MFP this past week. My daily goal is 1410cals and I've only had that goal for 5 days.
