    Mine is 1200 to lose 2lb per week
    To lose 1lb a week its 1280 ...so guess it doesn't go below 1200. But I eat between 1200-1500 and Im still losing.

    MFP set me at 1200. Typically, what works best for me when I am trying to lose weight is keeping the calories between 1200-1500 every day (and exercising) I don't really try to "eat back" my exercise calories- but I *do* try to eat closer to 1500 on the days I workout and burn a lot.

    Mine is 1330 on here but on Calorie count its 1246. This calorie counting thing is really hard.

    For losing my first 50 pounds at 2# per week I was at 1800 per day. The final 10 pounds I have increased my intake so I only lose 1# a week to 2000. Once I am at my target weight I will go to around 2300-2400. As the weather gets nicer I will also be much more active since I can walk outside and do many things that I prefer for exercise than indoor type activities.

    Mine has been 1200 since starting on 1-1-11. I did change it today to 1350 due to reading some info stating your body needs more calories for a healthy weight loss. I think whatever you find works for you. What works for one may not work for another.

    Mine is 1550. It was slightly lower than that (to lose 1 pound a week) but I increased it to my BMR after I wasn't losing much weight for a couple of months. That seemed to help... according to MFP I should be losing about .8 pounds a week but I am losing more than that. I usually try to eat at least half of my calories added on for exercising as well.

    My goal is set for 1300. I try to stay between 1200-1300 but the last 2 days I was at 1600-1800 ... depending on how hungry I am I might eat some exercise calories but I don't like to force myself to eat.

    1200 preset by MFP. Seems to be working and I'm not hungry.
