[quote=Anonymous]After 3 months of eating 1,000 calories a day, I finally lost the last stubborn 10 pounds. I’m 50, so it took some extreme measures to lose the weight. I’m only 5’3” and am now at 115. It might not seem high to have been at 125, but I have a small frame, and every bit shows. It wasn’t particularly tough to eat 1,000 calories, since I only eat 6 PM to midnight (I’ve done IF for 5 years). Anyway, here I am. I’m at my goal (yay!) and happy with where I am. How many calories do you think I can reasonably eat either to stay at 115 or not go over, say, 117? I’ve read about eating 10-12x your goal weight, which means I’d need to eat 1,150-1,380 calories. I’ve read never to go below 1,200, which clearly wasn’t going to be effective for losing weight, but should that be my maintenance level? I’ve heard to add back a little bit every week and gauge your progress, but I want to have some idea of what the “right” number should be. [/quote]
