    Feel free to add me too. I range from 1600-2000 depending on if I exercise for the day or not. I try to net around 1600-1700 calories each day and I have been consistently losing with this calorie goal for the last three months. I still have another 70-80 pounds to lose though.

    I eat between 1600-1900 most days (just depending on activity). I've been gone from MFP for a few months but I've been relatively on top of my off-line tracking and now I'm ready to crack down again. I've lost about 65-70lbs in the past three years. Slow and steady, right?

    Feel free to add me. I eat around 1700. I was eating like 2000 maintaining, but my husband signed us up for a military ball so I dropped it down. Lost 4 pounds in 4 weeks :) I don't log my fitness though since I have my calories set at -15% tdee

    My goal is 1850 and I eat back some of my exercise calories, but mainly only if I screwed up during the day (I did today). My diary is open. I have done this in the past and did great at it. I couldn't imagine eating at 1200 calories!!!

    Always looking for active friends! My deficit is at 1590 but 5 days a week I eat closer to 2k+ due to exercise. 5'8, 24 yo and 188lbs. Definitely a fan of whole/natural foods, but I also eat some bad stuff and drink wine here and there ;)

    mine is set at 1500 something (a 1/lb/wk loss) but i generally eat anywhere from 1200-1800, depending on exercise and just how hungry i am. ive lost 21 pounds since jan 9th? i think, so whatever im doing seems to be working.

    and i have LOT more to lose LOLOLOL - dont let the ticker throw you, i just break it down into smaller goals ;)

    first goal is to get to 200, then we'll see how i break it down. ideally im aiming for 150 and then will work on getting it to 120-30ish maybe.

    so yeah, small goals so i dont get discouraged LOLOL

    I'm at 1800. -- Now that I figured out I wasn't eating enough to support my exercise, I've finally started losing! ;-)

    I'm on 1800 cal, however my family is currently doing body beast. It is a awesome program, however with all the calories I burn I am usually at around 1500 to 1700 calories except on my treat day. :) but I'm loving the results. I also recently purchased a calorie counting watch, so I can have an idea of how many calories my body burns with no exercise on my rest day. I may have to adjust my calorie intake when I get that number. Friend me if you want :)

    I'm at 1850 presently (not logging during the past week, since I'm on vacation through Monday and it's impossible and I wanted a break anyway), but that's a pretty narrow deficit for me (although I'm close to goal) so I might cut back to 1750, although I might not.

    Also a Bears fan.

    Feel free to add me if you like. ;-)

    I eat around 1600 a day, and have lost 23 kg (50 lbs) so far.

    In how much time and what was your exercise routine? I eat 1200 cals. And do one hour walking( approx complete 4.8 km daily) . I have just lost 4 kgs in one month only.


    That took me 10 months to do that. With averaging on 0.5kg loss a week. For exercise, I was doing 30 min cardio and 15 mins strength training. I did that every second day, with an average burn of 300 cal.

    Hi there! I eat about 1600-1800 average. Sometimes a bit more, I'm marathon training so I often need more calories on my long runs days. I'll add you.

    Hi everyone. I eat a minimum of 1600 calories/day and try to eat whole foods, plenty of fruit and veg, but also the odd glass of wine. I eat back most of my exercise calories, and still have over 50lbs to lose. I'm in Australia, and know nothing about US football ;-) Anyway I'm happy to connect with anyone who is interested in health and fitness. Also I am Polly274 on Garmin Connect.

    Great post. It really helps to see what others with the same goals are eating. 1690 + exercise calories which I almost always eat :) I'll add you.
