    5'4.5"
    HW: 260 lbs
    CW: 132-134 lbs
    GW: 130 (maybe 122 or anywhere in between 122-130)
    Average Total Intake: 1800-2000 calories per day
    MFP NET Goal has changed from NET 1500 to NET 1390 (set for 1lb per week loss)

    I lift 3 x a week (ICF 5x5) and do cardio 2-3 x a week.
    I also aim to hit 10,000+ steps everyday.
    I would love to be able to deadlift 1.5 x my body weight and to squat my body weight. I also want to be able to run a 5k, but I have put my running on hold for the moment to see if my lifts improve (still doing cardio, just lower impact cardio).

    I do cardio 6 times a week and weight training once a week. My "rest day" I still do something, just not hard on my body so I do zumba. I eat 1200 cals a day unless my body needs more (which you should listen to your body)

    HW: 215 lbs
    CW: 179.6 lbs
    GW: 125 lbs
    Total loss: 35.4 lbs

    I exercise to a YouTube video 4-5 times a week for 30 or more minutes and sometimes I do 15 minutes of cardio at night when I feel extra energetic. I rest on Saturday and Sunday but sometimes will do some light stretching/cardio. I eat 1200 calories and sometimes I eat more, just depends on how I feel. I allow myself one day where I eat up to my TDEE. :)

    CW: 116
    GW: 110-116

    I don't track my calories. I am probably considered fairly active. I live in the city with no car and range from 8k-20+k steps a day (average 17k). I jog three days per week, and do home exercise videos regularly. I also do some easy yoga/stretching.

    GW 145

    I eat 1400-1500 calories most days but I no longer log my food so that is a guess. I do at least 30 minutes of running 3-4 days a week and either weights, do lower intensity cardio, or yoga once a week.

    cw: 139 lbs.
    gw: 130 lbs. or less

    I work out 5x a week: doing SL (heavy) weight programs 3x a week, and run/cardio 3x a week. My calories intake is about 1500 calories a day to see a loss. Unfortunately, I have a bad habit of going over that hence my gains.

    SW/HW:205- year 2010

    GW:130

    I Weight lift about 4 times a week and do cardio 2 days a week. I eat anywhere from 1300-1500 calories a day. I am still waiting for the scale to start going in a downward fashion. Though I just started taking weight lifting serious and still learning about recomp. So I must remember to be very patient with myself. That is the toughest thing to do for myself is to be patient, as I have none.

    HW: 160lbs
    CW: 147lbs
    GW: 140lbs (goal is actually to be 20-24% body fat) so not really that strict on goal weight.

    My calories per day is 1380, but set at sedentary. I am not really sedentary, but I tend to overeat so I want to keep that allowable number low. I also don't set exercise calories in, so it kind of evens out. :smiley:

    I'm currently 121 and my stomach sticks out and my thighs and butt sag, so that is not a good weight for me. When I weighed 110, I looked good without all that, so that's my goal weight.

    I'm 5'4
    SW 138 lbs
    CW 121 lbs
    GW 110 lbs

    HW 195
    CW 121
    GW 116

    I aim for 1500 total a day but usually average between 1600-1800. Losing slowly. Very sedentary job. Walk a mile a day and lift heavy weights twice a week. Try to get at least 90g of protein a day to keep lean muscle mass! All cardio and low protein diet seemed to make me flabby! I've noticed great changes since lifting and eating more protein. Did a great job at reducing cellulite!

    HW- um 135 I think? I was on the swim team and had some serious boulder shoulders going on haaaaa

    CW- 120
    GW- 112
    I am currently trying to track my calories via IIFYM...becuase my protein intake was in the sh**er. Before that I was averaging 30-50 g of protein but still getting my calorie requirements in in the form of alcohol.
    I lift 3-5 days a week, depending on what program I decide to follow. I also do cardio 6 days a week, I am training for a metric century, a 7 mile mud course somewhere I do not know of....and a 10 mile race.
