    I'm allowed 1470 (more if I exercise)

    My original goal was to get from 145 pounds to 135. Now I'm at 138 and once I hit 135 I'd like to reevaluate my goals, and perhaps lose another 9 pounds.

    I'm 127 pounds, 1200 allowed cals unless I exercise.
    I would like to be @ 125 but I always screw up when I finally do get there.

    I'm at 142 trying to get to 125. I've been doing this a couple of weeks. Not sure if I've lost yet, but I feel better. I'm limited to 1200 calories, too.

    currently 223 trying to get to 140-150 and start with 1390 calories a day and of course if I am good and get all my exercise in I get at least another 500-600. This is for a goal of 2 lbs per week.

    Also, every 10lbs I recalculate because as you loose weight you will actually get more calories to eat because when you reach your goal weight you will need to maintain, blah blah blah. :happy:

    Started off at 220 and now down to 180, aiming for 140. I'm on the 1200 and after exercise, usually average to keep around 1150 calories a day.

    1200 calories and the scales aren't moving. Turning 50 might have something to do with not dropping the pounds. It's partially holiday weight, and years past I could take care of it more quickly. I read here that I need to change my workouts -- so I'll start doing some weight lifting. This is my first reply -- so it's a test. :flowerforyou:

    Can you tell me how much exercise you are doing per day? I am on 1200 calories and I weigh 134 (my goal is 115 also) and I am not losing anything at the moment.

    I weigh 150 and am getting down to 135. My BMR Calculations say I should eat at least 1465 Calories a day. And more if I exercise. I find I feel like I function better if I eat that much, and I've lost 3 pound in 2 weeks.
