    I eat 1615. And I don't eat exercise calories back. I don't have much to lose. About 8lb or at most 16lb.

    At the end of the week I average between 1600-1800, though you'll see my daily goal listed as 1500 at the moment. I was wiping my deficit out with my weekend shenanigans at the 1600 daily goal. Just seeing if I can start losing again if I drop during the week.

    Currently in the 1700 range!

    Started at 12 for like, a week. Then, bumped up to 14 for about a month. Then stuck around the 1600 range from July onto January or February.

    42 pounds down, 11 pounds to go. Feel free to add me, guys!

    I eat around 1800, which according to my TDEE is supposed to be a 200 calorie deficit. I'm really in maintenance right now, but I try to eat at 1800 to give myself some wiggle room since I don't weigh my food or track regularly. Seems to be working so far - my weight fluctuates within three lbs but I've seen no actual weight gain in quite some time.

    I'm assuming everyone here who eats around 1800 calories exercises a fair bit too??

    5 days a week, a combination of cardio and heavy lifting.

    Yeah I don't think there'd be many females out there who could maintain or lose on 1800 calories without exercise.

    I'm late to the thread but feel free to add me. I eat between 1500-2100 calories a day, depending on exercise. I usually work out 4 times a week.

    I'm aiming to eat around 1700 (I'm not always consistent with logging at the moment though) & I'd love some more MFP friends! Feel free to add me! :)

    Oh, agreed! I'm not even very tall (5"2'), but I think I'm maintaining on 1800-2000 because I'm pretty active for my age:

    2 days/wk: Full body heavy lifting routine that includes several compounds lifts like squats, deadlifts, etc.

    2 days/wk: Run for 30 minutes followed by 30 minutes of bodyweight/light weight training

    1 day/wk: 60 minute cardio class (used to be Zumba but I switched to Body Pump last week because there's a new instructor at my gym and I can't stand her teaching style).

    I would guess I'd probably have to go down to 1600 calories or less to do a "cut", but right now I'm losing plenty of inches despite maintaining weight that I'd rather eat all the things than worry about the number on the scale.

    My goal is 1700, but I regularly eat a bit more from my exercise calories. I tried dropping down to 1500 and was hungry and mad so gave it up. Would love friends who eat as much as me. I've been losing about a pound a week; 18 down and 60ish to go.

    On the days I don't exercise I usually only eat 1800. When I exercise I eat over 2000. I'm still loosing... But I'm also 5'9"

    I maintain my lowest (goal) weight on 1800/2000 calories without exercise and I can maintain my current weight (20 pounds over goal) at around 2200 without exercise!

    So there's hope for me :wink: . I'm 5"8 and 140lbs, I'm not sure what my maintenance calories are yet.

    Awesome that's great to hear. I'm eating at my goal weight maintenance calories now, which is 1650 calories. I haven't had a perfect week, so have yet to see if I'm on target or not...

    Average 1300- 1600 .. My Diary is open

    This is a very interesting thread...when I started using myfitnesspal, the recommended calories from the app said 1200. I have been very committed to doing exercise - typically T25 and walking so average an hour a day...Seriously watching my diet - less than 50 carbs per day, no wheat, corn, added sugar, and haven't lost an inch or pound. Your posts about how many calories is freaking me out! I am SO scared to eat more because my mind says eat more, gain more and I know how hard it has been for me to even lose at all. I am hopeful that by increasing my intake, I will have the success you have written about.
    I am currently 35 years old, 190 lbs.
    please friend me - I have no idea how this works ; )

    If you haven't lost weight doing 1200, you're not going to lose by upping your calories.
    Are you weighing, measuring and honestly logging everything you eat and drink?
