Seeing on the other thread where people were posting successes with calorie counting I wanted to go one step further -
1. What are your daily calorie goals
2. Do you eat your exercise points
3. Total weight loss and time to lose it
Thanks!

1. 1460 calories a day
2. I only eat exercise calories back if I'm extra hungry (but only HRM calories! Not mfp estimates. They are sooo wrong)
3. Lost 44 lbs so far in 7 months0 -
1. While losing, my average ranged between 1750 and 1870.
2. I eat based on my tdee, not mfp goal.
3. Lost 52 pounds over the course of 12 months. Have lost 2 lbs. this year.0 -
1. Just under 7000 kj I think
2. Only eat some exercise back, normally when it's a large amount like after I spent 20-40 mins exercising.
3. 35-45kg in 250 days. What ever that is in pounds. I think it averages out to be 1.2kg per week.0 -

- NET 1490 (1490+exercise)
For the past 30 days my average total intake has been 2006 calories - Yes I do. I workout for fitness. I want to be stronger and faster. Bonus is it helps with body composition. I need to fuel these workouts or I won't make the progress I want. Plus, I've actually tried not eating them and well it had horrible results. At first it wasn't bad, but after a couple weeks my workouts suffered and I felt like crap (tired and migraines that wouldn't go away). The problem was my deficit became too large. My TDEE is around 2500 currently. When I tried it my MFP goal was under 1400 calories and my average TDEE was close to 2600.
- Total loss 112.1lbs and about 3 years (just started year 4). However, my weight loss hasn't been constant.
2012 - Lost about 60lbs and gained about 20 back. I was too restrictive and ended up not being able to sustain the changes long term. So for 2012 we'll say 40lbs lost.
2013 - New approach. Started using MFP. About 50lbs lost. Became pregnant in Sept 2013. Obviously couldn't continue with weight loss. I gained about 40lbs during the pregnancy.
2014 to now - 64.1lbs since the end of May 2014.

I'm not currently losing weight for certain reasons (and not at goal weight), but when I was:
1. 1600-1700 calories a day
2. I ate back exercise calories if I was super hungry, but usually not.
3. Lost 71lbs in 7 months or so - I did start around 282, so I was losing weight pretty quickly, and only just started to slow down recently when I had to switch more to maintenance.0 -

1. Currently 1590

Losing versus maintaining
1. 1800 (2400)

3. I'm recomping/maintaining at the moment, but I have lost 63 pounds total. I think it took me 9-10 months to lose it, but it's been several years since I lost the weight so I don't remember exactly.0 -
