    5'1.5". I eat 1200 calories most days. I've tried higher amounts but wasn't getting the weight loss I wanted. I do some body weight strength training at home and try to get some walking in whenever I can. I don't track or eat back exercise calories, I just consider them a bonus. Some days I eat 1400, but I don't sweat that. Sometimes 1200 feels a little too restrictive and I need a bit of a break.

    SW 183 CW 155 GW 125. My diary is open :)

    i'm 5'3, sedentary, and my calorie allotment is 1200. I'm almost always under it. I do go to the gym a few times a week and I eat back some of those calories.

    5 and 1.75 inches and I lose fine on 1440. Started at 1200 and lost the first 25 lbs on that but now that I'm a little over 1/3 to goal, and out if the obese category, I've lowered my loss rate to 1 lb per week and increased my activity level so I can have more and still lose fine:) liking this calorie allotment better.

    I'm 5ft1, 42, 134lbs and walk a minimum of 15,000 steps a day and eat anywhere between 1500 and 2000 depending on hunger. My Fitbit tells me I burn over 2000 cals a day and appears to be correct as I average around 1lb a week loss.

    5'1 and 110lbs. I eat about 1700 to 1900 per day to lose 0.5 per week as I slowly switch to maintenence in the next few weeks (once I'm under 108lbs).

    Then I'll be aiming to eat my TDEE which is around 2150. But I think I'll keep it to 2000 and see how I do, since I like to have a little cushion for inaccuracies in logging and my fitbit.

    I'm pretty active. If I were sedentary I'd eat about 1450 to maintain.

    Remember it will depend on age dieting life and medication
    Everyone's different
    If youve yoyoed years on low calories you can't eat so many as someone who never yoyoed
    Contraception will effect weight & other medications
    I know 20 year ago at 1600 id lose 2-3lbs easy a week now it's 1/2-1lbs a week on 1500 years yoyoing medication and near menopause will effect us

    I'm 5' 2" (well a little bit smaller to be honest) and I'm 51. My calorie limit is set at 1,200 but I get an extra 400-600 each day due to exercise. I usually eat about half of of those back. I started at 152lbs on Jan 1st and was 144lbs this morning. I'm aiming for another 14lbs. I'm large framed and anything under 130 makes me look unhealthy.

    I don't eat 'clean' and I like a drink. I went to Ruby Tuesdays yesterday and have had pizza and curry regularly this month.
