    I've been at 1560 for about a week, although I actually find that hard to do. I hang out between 1250-1400

    Normally my goal is 1700 because I had it set to lightly active to lose 1 pound a week. Since getting the Fitbit I have changed it to sedentary so my calorie budget is now 1410. There is no way, even on a rest day would I eat that low...lol I typically eat between 1800-2200 (sometimes more) with exercise and I am losing weight. I have stalled a bit but still becoming lean as I have increased my heavy lifting routine. Feel free to add me!

    Feel free to add me - I have my diary set to 1500, but that's because I am well aware of my own tendency to eat ~200 calories above whatever I set my diary to, and also because I like to run a higher deficit during the week to compensate for weekend indulgences. My TDEE is roughly 2300-2400, so I lose quite happily at 1800-1900.

    I eat between 1800 and 2000 calories depending on if I am weight training or not. Feel free to add me

    I'm at 1620 and have lost 2 lbs so far in 2 weeks so I'm on track so far to lose 1 lb/week. Started my new journey for the new year. Goal is to lose 30. My diary is open! I exercise at least 4x per week. Anyone feel free to add :)

    I eat about 1700 per day and have done that or more or most of the last 19 months. I simply can't go lower that, I get too hungry.

    I'm at 1630 and losing an average of about 2 pounds a week, even if I slack on exercise.

    I am so happy to have read this thread. I get so tired of seeing women eat 1200 calories or less for no good reason! I'm on 1470 cals a day, plus fitbit calories. I'm on my last few kgs and I just want them gone already!

    You (or anyone) are welcome to add me. I'm at 1,950, which is about 200 below maintenance for me.

    My goal is 1800, and I'm slowly losing a little. I tried lower than that and I just couldn't do it :( This way I have a little wiggle room for treats or days I feel super hungry. Anyone else on the same path can definitely add me!

    I eat 2000 to gain lol. I can lose at 1500 though. It's my sweet spot but I need to be super accurate because my TDEE is only 1800.

    I lost my last 19lbs on 1600/day. I have increased it to 1700, and depending on results will reevaluate and possibly increase again in another 10-15lbs lost.

    I'm 142.2lbs, trying for 138 or 140. I have MFP set to lose .5lbs a week, which puts me at 1,560k, and I eat 80% of my Fitbit adjustment.

    I'm eating at 1660 cal to lose 1/2 a pound a week. I started out at 1200, moved to 1300 in the summer, but I'm now at the 1600s because I ended up dropping the healthy eating attempt for months because I felt restricted/couldn't work in treats. People are free to add me, or just check out my diary because it's open. It's not at all a pillar of good health though. But it's working for me haha.

    My maintenance is right around 2000 (more with my Fitbit sometimes) and I aim to stay below that daily. Some days the deficit is larger than others, but I almost always eat over 1800 cals/day. Anyone can feel free to add me!

    I came to the realization this weekend that I'm failing miserable at 1500 cal/day. So I decided to try 1800/day (0.5 lb/week). I am very frightened to do this, so I was so happy to see your thread! Anyone doing this, feel free to add me.
