    Around 1950, but I just switched to maintenance and as such, I'm slowly raising my daily calories, trying to find the right number.

    All I want. Some days I want to stay within my budget, some days I don't. My budget for sedentary with no exercise logged is 1730. That's easy enough. Consistency isn't.

    A pet peeve of mine when comparing calorie intakes...

    No one knows for sure how many calories they are eating. Some people's estimates are more precise than other, but everyone is just estimating. So my 1800 cals per day may be very very different from someone else's 1800.

    Very true

    I'm all over the map with my daily calories. I think my lowest was 1085 and my highest has been close to 4000. (just checked - it was 4411 - whew!)
    I've lost 21 pounds since Jan. 18. March was bad eating wise and I lost 0 pounds but maintained what I'd lost up to that point so that was good.

    If I try to be too aggressive with my weight loss, I always end up overeating and set myself back a few days. That's very tiring. I'm still trying to find my happy place with the calorie limit. It might be more of a range for me from day to day. Say 1500 - 1900.
