Everyone is different. I was taking in about 800-1000 but it all depends on what you eat.

Really depends on your activity level and size. A couch potato is going to need far less than someone who is in the gym 5 days a week.

What do you consider "losing weight"? 10 pounds a month?

How active are you? How active are you willing to be?

I am also taking in 800-1000 , I am currently 2 weeks shy of four months out ....

Correct , I work out 4 times a week and on those four days I have to up my calories , well try to anyway

Starting month 5 and calories are 800-1200 depending on my exercise level. Closer to 800 on the days I don't exercise and closer to 1200 on hard days at the gym.

My NUT told me ideally they want around 1200 calories for me by 6 months and I am pretty much there most days now but it sure took a lot of work to get there.

I will be 3 months out on the 10th and average between 800-1000 calories a day.

I have a sedentary lifestyle, with half an hour of slow walk (1 mile ) and some exercise for 15 minutes.

10 pounds every month will be good enough for me.

Now what do you suggest ?

That's all that I am losing monthly and sometimes less which is actually okay for me. I think if you are sedentary I personally would try somewhere between 700-1000 daily?
