And how much per week do you have it set to lose? I asked my doctor how many calories I should eat and she said anywhere from 1200 to 1600. I try to stay around 1500 a day, sometimes I have more and sometimes I have less. It just depends on how hungry I am that day! I, however have ate no less than 1400 yet! I was just curious as to what everyone elses goals were.

Right now I am at 1200 / day, however as my activity level increases I will have to adjust that number. I am working on about a 2 lb a week loss.0

My daily goal starts at 1990 and usually ends up more around 2500 after exercise.
Edit: Goal is set to lose 1 lb/month, but I'm focusing more on body fat than weight, so my best friend is the measuring tape rather than the scale.0 -

Out of the 65 lb total weight loss, half of that resulted from a higher calorie diet but slightly restricted with enough of a deficit to reflect a 1lb weekly weight loss.
It worked!
And today I have a mere 10 lbs to go, eating around 3000 daily [except on rest days], losing 1 lb each week like clockwork.
If your input is right, all will be well.
Good Luck!0 -
Mine is set at 1410 for a one pound a week loss. I had it at 1650 for half a pound, but ended up not losing anything 1410 is working pretty well.0

My calorie budget is higher than most due to my size. On days I workout really hard I can have as many as 5k calories. Sometimes I think I workout out so hard because I like to eat. I knew I was having pizza yesterday so I did 2 hours of cardio....it was good pizza.0

1360/day to lose 2 lbs a week0

I'm 5'5, 170ish pounds, lightly active. When I was set to lose 1 pound per week my calorie goal was 1500-1600 plus exercise calories.0

My current goal is like 1530 I believe. Some days I eat it, some days I don't. When I exercise some days I have 2530 or more I could eat. On those days I sometimes eat back some exercise cals and some days I do not. I think the most exercise cals I have ever eaten back is like 300 after a 1000 cal workout.
My 1530 is set for two pounds per week loss. Last week I lost over 5 lbs.0
