Any very active ladies losing on 2200-2800 calories a day?

I'm 5'11", 225 pounds and my current calorie goal is 1580 a day putting me at a 1.5 pound loss per week. I am a personal trainer, an avid lifter and sometimes runner, and it's not uncommon for me to burn 800-1000+ calories per day through exercise. I am looking to befriend some other women who are very active and losing while eating a higher number of calories.

    I am your height, and I reached my goal of currently 150lbs eating between 2000 and 2400 a day. And I have to say, being pretty tall and active makes this whole thing a lot easier. But I am done for now and not trying to lose anymore.

    I'm only 5'4", but very active. I usually eat about 2,000 to 2,200 a day. I have lost 50 pounds so far and only 10 away from goal weight.

    I am 5'10, 190, and would like to get to 155. I work out about 4 days a week and burn about 600-700 calories on those days. Do you eat back your exercise calories so so that you are netting 1580?
