    Mine is currently 1500, and eating back exercise cals. This is an interim measure while on knee rehab. My usual is 1800, with no exercise cals back. I chose that number because it is the TDEE I would have at my activity level at my goal weight. I have been loosing on that and acknowledge that I may need to increase it as my activity level is pretty high when I am at full fitness. I need to fuel my training. I have not been eating well while on knee rehab and have still been loosing, so I think all the muscles I have grown this year must be burning lots of calories for me.

    I'm 5'4", 161lbs at Monday weigh in.
    My current cal goal is 1360, which I can usually stay within. I'm averaging approx .5-.75 lb loss a week. Slow, but steady & I don't want to go lower in my cals. I'm a hungry girl!!

    I try to stay at 1200. I have 40 plus pounds to lose and I'm impatient so I want to maximize what I can lose each week while still making sure I get enough nutrition. I get hungry in the evenings, so it's a challenge for me to stick to the1200, but I would say I lose 3lbs a week on average.

    Well, I'm still pretty obese, so I go for 1800/2200 on rest or workout days respectively, without explicitly eating back any exercise calories. I find the fixed calorie goals easier to plan around.

    And it's about 2 lb/week for me, maybe slightly more.
