    Mine is 1200 except for the days that I exercise, which usually raises it about 300-400 calories :-)

    1390, I think I get a bonus 190 calories because my job keeps me active. :-)

    When I was losing, I stayed in the 1500-1600 range plus exercise calories. I'm now maintaining at 1800-ish plus exercise calories.

    I'm allowed 1410 to lose the weight I want, but generally stick between 1200-1300.

    1310 (1 pound a week) - 1530 (1/2 pound a week)

    I try to stay to a net calorie intake between those.

    The calorie goal is based on all the input you give MFP (age, weight, lifestyle, how much you want to lose). Mine was 1390 when I started but it goes down as you lose (if you want to keep losing at the same rate), so now I'm at 1210. My projected rate of loss is 1.5 lbs per week.

    Wait. So you mean I'm going to have to eat LESS than 1200 at some point? Ouch.

    No, they'd never set it lower than 1200. That's the minimum.

    I have my settings to lose 2lbs/week but since I'm already at the minimum of 1200, the max I can lose is 1.1lbs/week. This of course it just pure math and doesn't always translate to the real results.

    So your maintenance calories are 1250?? Wow, that seems really low.

    And Genem... you are a 6'4" man eating 1200 cals a day???? Um, seems incredibly low!

    And "yay me" for eating 1000 cals a day????..... I don't even know how to respond to that.

    I don't normally do this but........
    People, I know you want to lose weight FAST but 1200 cals a day is really low for the majority of the population.
    You don't have to do that to yourselves!

    I'm getting close to maintaining, eating 1600 net calories a day (that means my daily allowance plus exercise calories, so I would usually eat anywhere between 1850 and 2400 total cals).
    The lowest I've ever gone is 1450 net and that was too little for me, I was hungry and grumpy and my weight loss stalled.
    I lost most of my weight eating around 1550 net cals a day.
