kellyclarkson1990

Hello,

Just wanting to be a bit nosy really to see what other peoples goals are who have similar stats to me. I've shared my deatils below and if you don't mind sharing I would basically like to know what is your current weight, goal weight, height, weight lost and if you have a deadline in mind?

My stats
Height - 5 foot 3
Deadline - May/June

Current weight - 163 / 11stone 9lbs
Goal weight - 140 / 10 stone
Weight lost so far - 12lbs
Left to lose - 23lbs

I eat on average 1200 cals a day and do a 2 miles walk on my lunches and some more exercise here and there. I eat more calories on a weekend as a treat but not too excessive.

Thanks,
Kelly

Mine are:

Height: 5'4
CW: 127lbs
GW: 108lbs

My GW isn't really a goal weight as such, it's more a minimum, I'm just gonna keep going either until I'm happy or I hit 108lbs (since that's the lowest healthy weight for 5'4). About a year ago I got down to 112lbs (from 167lbs) but still wasn't happy with how I looked, then stuff happened and I put some of the weight back on, so I'm trying it again now with more exercise & weight lifting. I eat 1200 a day + exercise calories which usually come to 300-400. I tend to eat a bit more on the weekends, too. I don't really have a deadline.

CW-136-138
GW-Possibly 130 but I'm going into maintenance to try a recomp. If I can get the physique I want now, I won't need to get down to 130.

I am:
Height: 5'4
CW: 222lbs
GW: 199lbs
Goal Date: April 30 2015

I am setting my goals into chunks. Ideally, I would like to lose 1lb per week, or 5lbs per month. I eat calories set by MFP, 1300 per day. I'm not happy with how low that number is because I have come from a Paleo eating backround which discourages low calorie eating. However, Paleo did not work for me. I'm also an emotional eater but since I admitted that to myself, I am handling it better. I work out 5x a week, lifting weights 3 days and moderate walking 2 days.

Hi!

I'm 5'0" female
CW: 178 :-(
GW:130 (for now)
GW Date: as fast as possible!

I lost 30 lbs last January and due to health concerns put it all back plus more. I lost it doing high protein/low carb. My Dr says I can't do that. So I'm trying some new things, including getting back to MFP. I need to exercise more. That's for sure!

Good luck to all!

Hi ladies,

Thanks for replying.

My end goal is to get to around 9 stone 6/7 pounds-ish but obviously going to see how I feel about my look when I reach my target. I have quite wide hips and smaller waist so going down to 8 stone just doesn't look right on me or it didn't in the past anyways. I was 8 stone years ago when I was around 18 years old.

I have mini goals set up just like Lakom2.

My first goal is to lose 2 more lbs and then I've lost my first stone in absolutely ages.
My second goal is to get to 10 stone so that I am at the top end of healthy for my height.
My third goal is to get to 9 and half stone and then either change my calorie take to maintenance or lose more weight. I am hoping I will be happy at that weight.

Thanks,
Kelly

I started at about 145 lb a couple years ago, came down to 118 lb, and have maintained that for a couple years. I'm just now starting to lose another 5-10lbs for my wedding in May but it is slow going when you're fairly light already.

kellyclarkson1990

Sorry I meant to say 8 and half stone when I was 18 years old.

muse09

Height: 5'2
CW: 120lb
GW: 115lb
Weight lost so far: 5lb
GW ETA: 6 weeks - it seems like a long time, but taking it slow really helps to make the change permanent. Be sure that you're not losing more than the recommended 2lb/week.

I eat 1,450 calories a day, and do weight training 5-6 days a week. I do not eat back exercise calories (because they are ridiculously inaccurate), and weigh all of my food meticulously.

Once you get to a certain point, it's more about body fat % and appearance than it is about actual weight. Focus on making permanent changes and developing good habits, rather than instantaneous results so that you don't have to deal with loose skin and other problems. Good luck on your journey!

GW: 140 (will see how I feel at this point)

I eat between 1100 and 1200, workout 5 days a week with walking and 30 day shred. gonna start insanity in the next couple of weeks, but will probably only do it 3 days a week and walk the other days.

SW: 176lbs (but highest weight was 180lbs!)
CW: 168.8 lbs
GW: I have multiple goal weights. Lol. The first is to get to 150lbs, because that is the smallest I would have been since High School! Second is to get to 136lbs to get into a "normal" BMI range. Finally is to hit 125lbs, this is my UGW. I think it would be really great to say "I lost 50lbs!"

I try to eat 1200 cals a day but have been going over I just started walking 3 miles uphill on my treadmill every day. I hope I can keep it up

Hi Muse09,

That's exactly what I am trying to stick to, losing a max of 2lbs a week. Trying to make life changes rather than a quick fix. It's one of the reasons I've started going out walking on my lunches as I get an hour.

One of my weaknesses is takeaways. They are far too easy to order and taste too good but I just think about the amount of money I'm saving by not getting them.

I also have a problem with prawn cocktail pringles. I can literally eat a whole tub in one go so avoid buying them alltogether now.

Does anybody else have any weaknesses?

Thanks,
Kelly

I think our goals are quite similar Have you set yourself a calorie intake? I am trying to go with 1200 weekdays and a little more at the weekend. I weigh myself on Saturday mornings as it gives me most the week to lose the weight.

SW: 198 lbs
CW: 183 lbs
GW: 140ish

I just started Stronglifts 5x5, along with yoga 2x/week and walking. I want a fit body and have a fairly muscular body type, so scale weight will be secondary once I get into the 150s.

I eat between 1300-1600 cal/day and concentrate on fat and protein macros for satiety and preserving LBM.

Going to my cousin's wedding in July and hope to be in the 160s by then. I'm tired of dreading photo occasions! After that, I don't have a goal date. My goal is to stick with it.

I try to eat about 1300 cals. a day and I go to the gym 5-6 times a week. Mostly cardio(treadmill,elliptical,and bike),but ive started to lift some weights. I have little goal weights as i go. It helps keep me motivated and focused. But i want to be at 140 by Halloween of this year.

I'm eating 1200 calories at the moment and exercise around 3-4 times a week at the gym. Still got a long way to go but so far sticking to it all.

Hi Kelly,

Glad to hear you've got such a healthy mentality! I've got a huge weakness for chocolate, so I'm limiting myself to only 85% dark chocolate, and only eat a few squares a day.

To avoid takeaways, I like to prepare food in bulk and portion it out for the next few days. Also, because I'm lazy, I buy vegetables that take very little prep / cook time - broccoli florets or vegetable medleys that come in steamable, microwaveable bags, and what not.

As for the Pringles, you're definitely on the right track! If you can't resist something, it's best to remove the source of temptation altogether so that it's not so easily within reach every time you're craving it.

You don't have to be perfect - just consistent!

My ultimate goal is to be 138 by June. I know it sounds like I should be 138 by April or May but my weight lose has plateaued for over a month now. I have faith that I will reach my goal by June.

Hi Muse09,

Yeah I've tried dieting before and have even tried to completely eliminate unhealthy food from my diet and it simply just doesn't work. I crave unhealthy food far too much so I try to either have smaller portions of it, save it until weekend as a treat or find a healhtier alternative and think about what I am eating the day before or after.

I actually plan out my food timetable a week in advance now. I know some people think I am crazy for doing it but it helps so much. It saves me so much money when it comes to doing the food shop and it also helps keep an eye on what I am eating. I still have the odd treat now and then and even sometimes have a takeaway but just trying to be more sensible now.

Thanks,
Kelly

Height - 5'-4"
- Deadline - May 20
- SW - 150 lbs
- CW- 140.5 lbs
- GW 130 lbs

MFP has mostly helped me eat better/less. I used to ravage meals like a monster until I learned how much more I could sustain myself on so much less. I also work out for at least an hr 6 out of 7 days in a week.

I eat an avg of 1700-1800 cal/day coupled w/ at least 600 cal of exercise so i hit about 1100-1300 cal/day net.

Good luck to all of you toward your goals.

Hey! I am 5'3.5"

GW: 125-129
I got to 130 in June but kind of got lazy (yup no excuse) so back to 138 at the moment but I'm back on track!!! I got to 130.0 exactly and people were telling me I was "too skinny" (I wasn't) but I was extremely happy at this weight even though it was 5lbs shy of my GW so I will at least be getting back to that

cheshirecatastrophe

No deadline, no numbers...my goal is to cut to 5 pounds below where I want to be (still 5 pounds above where I start to look bad, which is still in the normal BMI range), then attempt a recomp/slow bulk. I have twin goals of vanity and racing speed; this seems like the best compromise.

kellyclarkson1990

Hi sway1080,

You have done really well so far - Congrats!
