Good to know! Since I have started getting serious about tracking and routinely lifting, I have just found it not realistic to eat 1200 calories and hit my macros and not be hungry. I am a grad student and I can't afford to be hangry and distracted!

1400 cal for 1 lbs a week and a little over 1600 for .5 lbs a week

I am aiming for 135 area because that was where I was at 6 years ago and I would like to get back there. I do use a food scale, and I aim aiming for 120-140g of protein a day. I keep my carbs around 100 most of the time as I don't have a huge desire for carbs other than cereal and vegetables/fruit and I prefer fats.

Yeah I do think that weight lifting may have cause me to gain some water weight, especially after leg workouts. How long did it take you to shed? I don't log exercise into MFP so I only consider gross calories.

Thanks for all the great replies! I have only been implementing my current diet and exercise routine as of a about a week and a half now. I have lost about a pound but sometimes it feels not like much and I second guess if what I am doing is correct.
