    Calorie Goal: 1600
    1lb loss/wk

    I should add that MFP gives me a baseline of 1200 calories per day, but I know that at my current exercise schedule I lose on 1600.

    GW 122 (or whatever I weigh once I am in good shape workout-wise)
    Calories: 1450 - 1680 per day plus exercise calories

    1680 is what MFP says is my maintenance. I try to keep it at 1450 since I still could lose a few pounds of fat but I don't feel bad if I get my maintenance cals a few days a week (weekends typically).

    Edit: I haven't lost any weight in over a month... slowly but surely I guess.

    Cal: I have it set to 1350 right now, but MFP tells me 1200 no matter what rate of loss I choose. After playing with this for some time, I realized I needed a smaller deficit. My loss has been seemingly slow, but I have lost 9lbs in the last 17 weeks, so I guess that averages out to about 1/2 lb per week. I'll take it!

    Calories 1560, that's at about 1.5 pounds a week and a 750 (Aprox) deficit before exercise, because of the large deficit I'm not too hard on myself if I go over a bit :bigsmile:

    Awesome! I definitely think that my 1400 is a bit high compared to you all, so since I like to eat, I guess I better up my exercise huh? :bigsmile:

    Male
    5'8"
    start weight - 270
    current weight - 211
    goal weight - 200 (ish)
    Calorie goal - 1730 for 1-1/2 lbs a week loss.

    3 days a week - 400 calories from Cardio (elliptical or bicycle) + 200 circuit training (30 day shred)
    3 days a week - 400 calories from Cardio (elliptical or bicycle) + 200 circuit training (30 day shred) + 200 weight training (freeweights, strength/mass building routine. Supplementing protein those days)
    1 day a week - rest, cheat meal, try to stay under 1800-1900 for the day.

    Not eating all those exercise calories, eat 2200-2300 most days. Have been maintaining weight since august but getting leaner/harder/stronger. I'm satisfied. Reaching that 200 pound goal would be nice, but reaching 12% bodyfat would be nicer! Currently around 15%.

    Giggles-Is it close to or during that TOM? That really effects weight. Keep it up though. Your body will finally give in and drop the pounds.

    Here is something interesting.

    When I began June of 2008 I was 5'1.25 tall and 168 pounds.

    I went for my annual check up and was 5'2" tall and 132 lbs!!

    I was always 5'2" since I was around 16 yrs old, and was surprised I had lost disc height of 3/4 of an inch. It seems that my stretching and exercising has elongated my spine once again and I am back to my original height!!

    calories 1680 and I am on maintenance and have lost 3 more pounds due to exercise.
