    1600 has worked really well for me, in conjunction with a 100g/day protein goal. I have lost 47 pounds since mid November. I don't eat any exercise calories (I know - this isn't how MFP is designed, but I am under the care of a bariatrician and a RD, and am following their instructions.) I generally exercise 5 days a week - 2 days of heavy lifting, 1 day of circuit-style training with a trainer, 2 3ish mile runs or Zumba. I also get 10K steps a day on my Fitbit. You should be able to see my diary now if you are interested. I have good days and bad days, but the majority of days I'm right around 1600.

    My goal is 11 stone because I dont know what I will look like when i get there, its an interim. I still want my curves though.

    I have a fitbit too. My diary isnt great. I dont eat clean, but sadly I dont like much veg, which hinders me a lot...I just moved house, and will start cooking properly once my kitchen is sorted lol x

    I'm not 5' 6" but I'm 5' 5.5"... I currently weight 139.0 from 166.4. I love making new friends on here. Please feel free to add me, I try to encourage/motivate as much as possible! I eat between 1200-1500 per day depending on the day, but I lose between 0.2-1.6 lbs per week.

    Hi I am 5'5 hope I make the cut! Add me I am always on here trying to help support and motivate and hope my friends do the same! My stats are SW 155 CW 140.5 GW 135. I generally eat 1400-1500 cals a day, which is 1250 plus about half my exercise calories, and on weekends I eat all my exercise calories back to keep me sane so 1700-2100 cals. I consistently lose a half a pound to a pound a week. Last week 1.5 but that's rare!

    Hi, I'm 5'6" and welcome any new friends to cheer each other on :) I'm at 210 down from 229, I am hoping to get to onederland by my birthday June 8, I eat about 1500 calories a day and am finding the older I get the harder it is to lose weight for sure. Please feel free to add me as a friend!! I was told by my doctor that 170 is a good weight, I've generally weighed between 140-155 up until a few years ago. Good luck!!

    5'6". SW 145, CW 124.4, GW 120. I'm eating around 1400 calories a day and I'm probably going to change my goal to be 0.5 lb per week as I get ready to re-start Chalean Extreme next week and hope that I can get a little more muscle on me. I've been losing anywhere between 0.5 and 2 lbs per week. It's pretty random. Feel free to add me as well :)
