    I'm at 1200 because I'm just under 5' tall. I've lost 13lbs since February 1 :)

    2700-3000 to maintain depending on the time of year...around 2300-2500 while cutting weight.

    I am always confused as to whether i eat too little or too much! I work out 7 days a week, boot camps, lifting, boxing, spinning (sometimes 2x a day) and am alwaysss hungry. Sometimes eating 2000+ calories

    When I did this before and was successful, I found that I absolutely could not set a goal lower than 1500 calories, because I physically couldn't eat so little. But 1600 - 1700 has been successful for me, and when I was exercising regularly I was probably eating closer to 2000 and losing weight thanks to the calorie burn.

    I've started over (four years and two kids later) and I am setting my initial goal at 1620, to lose one pound per week.

    I'm currently set at 2637/day. That includes my 5 days/wk 90 min workouts which are then added up, divided by 7 days a week and added onto my maintenance calories without exercise which is around 1900. I seem to stay at a stable weight around 2600/day as long as I don't slack on the exercise.

    Usually 1500 to 1600. I've been much more successful at this range than at a lower range.

    I'm currently around 1400 after going down from 1700 when I first started losing weight, might go up again

    I have MFP set at losing 0.5 lbs per week and it's set to about 1550 calories. My calorie intake differs per day. Yesterday was rest day and I have a desk job so I barely got just under 1300. Days I go to the gym may be up to 1800 calories. I refuse to go hungry lol

    Currently MFP is set to 1400 a day (losing 1lb per week), but today is my first day and I was completely satisfied with 1200. We'll see if that continues when I get back to the gym!

    I was averaging about 1,000 a day but watched a youtube video and found out wow I am not eating enough and the girl had a link to her maco calculator and now I am eating 1355 calories a day and feel so so much better!!

    MFP is set for 2,700 a day (gain 1-2 pounds a week),which includes my job of being on my feet all day. However, I am a runner so the intake is above 3,000. Struggling to reach that many calories right now, but I'm getting closer

    I started at 1760 and that worked well for the first 75 pounds, now I am at 1500 with a total weight loss of 93 pounds. I don't get hungry because I choose bulky low calorie vegetables often. With a bad back I can't run but I started walking slow pace in the beginning, and now I can often do as much as seven miles in a day at about an 18 minute mile pace.

    1780 on days that I do not workout, and 2300 on days that I do workout.

    I set my goal at 1700 but usually eat closer to 1900 on average. I'm not losing. This is maintenance. In fact I might be gaining. I should check. (I'm really not a great example of success).
