| How many calories?
I am still in that trying to find my weight loss mojo and one of things I have been playing with is calorie levels - so am curious what is your average calorie intake for the day?

| I'm usually around 1100-1200. I'm trying to find a level of intake that doesn't make me feel too deprived, so I can stick with it for life.

City: Sydney, Australia | When I was restricted I was on 800 - 900 calories but haven't been doing too well in the last 3 weeks. I want to get back to that and hopefully will after my 2nd fill next week. My doctor said he wants me to be on 1000 cals a day.

| About 1500 to 1800 - I lost well albeit slightly slowly at this level and now maintain effortlessly. I dont really count them, but when I do, that's about where it falls.

| I get about 1500-2000 calories a day but I burn at least 2800 a day. I really hate counting calories and I will do away with it once I get closer to goal. I have gone from 279 to 240 in 55 days so I am not going to change anything. | |

City: San Diego State: CA | I follow Weight Watchers and eat about 26 points per day. Not sure how many calories that is.

I got my second fill 2 weeks ago and for the first time I felt restriction and have been focusing on that. My exercise routine is all sport based so I play Basketball at my church and volleyball at a friends church. I am the worse shooter on my basketball team so I rarely shoot the ball but I can rebound and jog up and down the court and that does it.My goal has been to never walk up the court an it has worked for me. I burn 3-400 calories on my treadmill and I hate it, I burn 800 calories playing basketball and dont even consider it work. | |

City: St. Louis State: MO | This is an interesting thread. I just broke into the -50 catagory so here I am. I have 2 ccs of fill in my band and fair restriction. If I am eating the things I should eat I struggle to get 1100 calories. I try to stay under 1200 but my average is usually 1050-1150. I am losing 2-3 pounds per week.
