I try and stick to 1500 but it doesn't always happen. I lose about 1-3 per week depending on the week, and how much activity (average about 2 hrs/day) and I'm 191.

I weigh 220 and intake an average of 1500 calories a day. I am losing about 2 1/2 pounds a week. I cycle calories, two days low, 3 days average, two days high. I have been walking about a half hour a day.

I consume 1700 a day. Weigh 239, and my height is 5'8". I lose about 3 lbs a week.

Well, I'm 5'11, and 222 pounds.
I eat 1800 cals a day, and I run 4 days a week. (Only about 20 minutes of a running/walking mixture)

I'm losing about 2-4 pounds a week if i stick to it...

I am over 400 pounds. I have no idea exactly how much as I do not have a scale but I do know the pain it is causing my legs, back and feet. This morning I began eating 2000 calories using low carb foods and I will adjust my calories accordingly as my weight goes down.

justaloozer · 11-05-2009, 11:32 AM

I am 283lbs, 5'9" and I consume anywhere from 1700-2000 cals a day (I am breastfeeding so I don't want to go to low and interfere with my milk production).

As long as I stay on target I lose 2-3lbs a week.

I've tried all sorts of calorie levels but 1500 seems to have always worked really well if combined with exercise. I have a calorie counting book that has a chart on exactly how many calories you should consume according to your gender, age and activity level and how many lbs you want to lose per week. So someone like me who is about 195, female, under 30 and moderately sedentary should eat 2336 cals per day to maintain, and to lose 2lb per week cut calorie intake by 1000, i.e.1336 cals per day.

caryesings · 11-05-2009, 12:45 PM

My average daily calories is @1500 with average daily deficit of 1000 calories. Although theoretically that should be knocking off 2/lbs per week, I'm only averaging @1.2 lbs/week at this point. I blame it on being 50 years old and by my body getting more efficient at the exercises I have been doing so will be changing up that routine a bit.

TexanGal · 11-05-2009, 02:09 PM

I'm @ 260/5'5" and about 1500 cal day. It can vary up to 1700 but not often. Weight loss alters each week but maybe that's how I lose weight?

In under 2 months I've dropped 15lbs, so I average 1.5 to 2lb week loss. I haven't BIT the exercise bug yet... :/ I don't like to exercise and need to change my attitude because I know that will be the most important thing for me to maintain my weight loss.

I eat 1500 a day. I'm 5'2" and 129 lbs. I exercise for at least an hour 6 days a week - burning about 400-500 calories according to online calculator estimates. I've been doing this consistently for about 4 weeks, with a few high days in there, and I've lost 4 pounds (1lb a week).

Here are my historical stats:

I've maintained around 145-153 lbs from mid Sept thru the end of October. I was training for a 1/2 marathon so I was focused on eating a lot to fuel my long runs. I think I averaged around 2,300 - 2,500 cal per day during that time. Running 20-30 miles per week and lifting weights 3 days a week.

2 weeks ago I refocused my goals, taking a break from running, just doing heavy weight training 4 days a week with 2 days of HIIT. I am trying to lean out slowly while retaining as much muscle as possible. I'm aiming to lose .5 - 1 lb per week

I'm currently eating 1,800 cal per day, carb cycling. I'm back down to 149.6 as of this morning...but I refuse to change my ticker LOL

May have to reevaluate the calories down the road to see how my body responds to the new workouts and the lower calories :-)

But that's the key in my opinion, you have to give something a shot for at least 3-4 weeks then make tweaks if necessary!
