    I was on 1200 searching for something that would let me know if this is even healthy. Came across this post and have done a lot of self education. I am now eating 1800-2000 calories/day and have been losing ~1lb/day after 4 days upping my calories slowly because I was uncertain. I feel much better and don't want to risk my long term health for short term goals.

    I was on 1200 but I upped it to 1350 bc I was too hungry all the time. I also lowered my carb and sodium recommendations.

    1240! Though I usually end up under my calorie limit thingydo. It is a lot easier to not eat as much when I can track my food on here :)

    My MFP goal is 1440 but I usually aim for about 200 under whatever my recommended calories are (more if I've "earned" a lot of calories from working out)

    I'm doing the same, but I find it really hard to keep up sometimes! I eat back some of my exercise calories. Add me! My food choices suck sometimes so you'll know you aren't alone if you slip up every now and then, haha.

    It's funny. Right now I'm eating more than I usually have in the past and I'm losing weight. I've tried to get rid of the junk foods from my regular routine like potato chips, nuts, and sodas. That's helped out a lot. I think that since I missed a lot of meals that wasn't good either so now I'm eating on a regular basis and most of the time I find that I'm not really that hungry which surprises me.

    I just restarted this after a falling off the wagon. After reading all the posts I'm thinking 1800 is too high?? I'm a big guy at 6'2" and I'm just starting to get active once again, walking min 30 mins a day and took out my fave things in the whole world CHIPS!!! I know it doesn't happen overnight but am I set too high??

    Me too! 1250 kcal a day, but usually eat more (1400-1600) and add up exercise 'minus' calories. I'm doing that since less than 2 months and..... it really works. Already heard about 4-5: "have you perhaps lost about 10 kg recently?" ;)) In fact it's about 3-4 kgs but the difference is huge. I weighed about 62,5 when I started and now it's around 59.3 - 61 depending on the day and time.
