    Hey I’m looking at 1800 but with walking at work Fitbit adds at least 500 a day. I’ve still only on average eating 1500-1700.
    It’s my first week so we shall see what I’ll loose this week

    My average TDEE is around 2300 (7 day average).

    I try to stay below that (1800 being the lowest I'm willing to go or I gnaw off my arm)

    About 1500-1600.

    5’7 woman, 12 st 3ish (it’s hard to tell as I’m currently gaining weight for TOM). Losing possibly around 1.5 lb per week (see previous about it being hard to tell :) ), which is a bit faster than intended, oops.

    I'm a few years in maintenance and working on leaning out for the summer. I'm at 1,370 calories a day, to lose .5lb a week (current bmi is 21.5, working towards 20.5).

    1430. Trying to lose 2 lbs a week. Still new to it, but it's an adjustment for sure.

    Female, 42, 5'5", 195 lbs, exercise about 3 times a week.
    After reading that, I may bump the calories up and the rate of loss down.

    1400 before exercise. I'm in maintenance, but I'm very short and I have a sedentary job.

    Oh god, me too. (on the sedentary job part.) It's ridiculous - if I don't exercise, I come in under 1000 steps in a day. I freakin hate it.

    I try to stay under 1300. Some days are not as good:( Currently trying to loose. If I know I'm going out to dinner or going to have a drink or 2 that night I try to increase my cardio to "earn it".

    My fitness pal suggests I eat 1400 calories per day to lose 1/2 lb a week. I am super strict on measuring and use a scale for everything. After one month, I have lost 1 lb. I am always hungry too. Pretty discouraging.
