    Yes, I currently eat around 2200/day slowly upped from 1400. Now I maintain 150-155lbs (depending on the day).

    Happy fitness :)

    Today, I decided 1400 was not sustainable. At 170lb, with an intention to lose weight 1400 is to low. I was losing 3 lbs a week but binged once a week. I am going to try to up to 1600 and see if I'm still losing, be that slower but more comfortable and consistent. That's the plan anyways.

    1600 is pretty comfortable to me. Still definitely feels like a deficit, but lots of room for snacks/dessert, and nice sized dinner.

    I started at 1200 and was dreaming about food, lol, so after lurking the forums I increased to 1600 and I am continuing to lose and I'm very happy now :)
