Currently 242 pounds.
Goal is 145 pounds
Starting weight was 268 pounds.
30 mins of cardio + 30 mins of heavy lifting 5x a week; a hike on the weekend.
I eat about 1400 calories a day, and do not eat back my workout calories.
I'm losing about 3 lbs a week.0 -
they set me up at 2300 cals/day, this is considering that the doc only wants me to lose 1/2lb week because of my meds. I have yo-yo dieted my whole life and that is the most EVER, everyone has said such wonderful things about this site (my doc referred it) that I will stick with what they say.0

Goal, whatever. I am happy where I am, I wear size 4's and 6's and small shirts.
Generally eat at my MFP maintenance calories which is 1810. Right now I either eat exercise calories or leave them on the table to create a small deficit.
I do Stronglifts 5x5 2 times per week and run and/or play tennis 2-3 times per week.0 -

Female

About 130 lbs. (I try not to use the scale so much.)
My goal is set at 1300 cals/day but I seem to eat different amounts of calories every day.
Sometimes I go over, sometimes under, it's kind of sporadic, really.
Lately I've been doing small meals throughout the day due to a new medication.
It seems to work for me!
I'm not at a weight loss goal per se, I am just trying to eat better and tone up.0 -
Female
5'3
184 lbs.
Goal weight: 155
Physical Activity: Other than working out an hour a day, 6 days a week, I am sedentary.
Calories I'm eating daily: My fitness pay says I need 1200 to loose 2 pounds a week, but my goal is 1300, but I usually go into my exercise calories and eat 1400-1600 a day. I burn 400-600 calories in a work-out. Still working on reducing the calories to 1300 because in the past that is the "magic" amount of calories I needed to loose weight.0 -

1800-2100 kcals a day. Some of you people need to eat more. You should only cut 15-20% of your TDEE.

Female, 45 years old, 5'8"
136 lbs as of this morning, but varies daily
Workout about an hour a day, 5-6 days a week (3-5 mile run & dumbbells at home, alternating days)
Goal is to lower body fat percentage - lose the fat, keep the muscle! :drinker:
Daily calorie goal - 19000 -
I am 5'7, 125ish pounds. I'm in maintenance, and right now I'm aiming for an average daily intake of 2500. I was still losing weight on 2300. I do mostly cardio for exercise, plus I am on my feet most of the day. I also started a new thyroid med that I think is helping to keep my weight down. It freaks me out a little, because I see that I am eating more than even most of the men on here. But if my weight begins to skyrocket, I figure I can just cut back down again.
When I was overweight, I was very very sedentary. To get to my goal weight (I went from 180s or 190s to my current weight), I ate 1200s-1400s daily, and usually did not eat back exercise. YMMV though.0 -
Female, 26, 5'9''-5'10''ish
Was 248 lbs 10 days ago...haven't made my way to the scale since then
Workout 30-60 min every day, mostly elliptical now but I'll add in some resistance too.
I eat between 1700 and 2000 cals per day
I might not be hardcore, but today my rings started spinning on my fingers...so something must be going right.0
