I get hungry sometimes but not often. I think I will try about 900 and see if between that and making sure I get my Protein and Water in if the scale starts moving again. I still have about 34 pounds that I would like to lose.

I am 135 and aim for 35-40. .3 X weight= Protein needed. I eat about 1,800 calories a day and easily maintain my weight loss.

and also forgot to ask, how many carbs a day does everyone try to stay at?

I don't actively count carbs but I tracked all my food for a month recently, just to get a sense of where I'm at since I started half marathon training and needed to increase my calorie intake. I seemed to be right around 70 net carbs a day most days?

[Biloxigirl 70]

Ok thank you for the input, just trying to get a feel for how many carbs will be right for me. I try not to eat more than 80 a day as I am still not at my goal yet and assume along with everything else too many carbs can stall you as well.

Those carb counts are too high.

When I am in weight loss mode I stay below 60 total carbs (NOT net carbs) per day.

Some people seem to be more sensitive to carbs than others. I have seen people posting that they can't lose weight on more than 40 carbs a day. I didn't track for most of my weight loss phase, but I suspect I was probably more around 60 net carbs a day while I was losing? Now in mainenance, 70-100 net carbs a day seems to work just fine for me. I just always make sure to get my 100 grams of Protein in and it the rest of my macros seem to work themselves out from there.
