You're doing it wrong.
Yep. This is very unhealthy.0 -

Wow! Well done!0

Height: 5'9"
Weight: 140
Age: 40
Calories: Around 1900/2000, on average, I think. Sometimes more. I do eat lower carb (*usually* no sugar, bread, no pasta, no tortillas, crackers, high-sugar fruits, very little processed food, etc) which, for me, allows for eating more and not gaining fat.
Workouts: Probably an ave of 300 cal, 25 min/4-5 x week--very intense, short HIIT-type workouts or heavier weights. Almost no straight cardio (unless walking as transportation counts), though my HR is usually up in the 170s during my regular workouts.
Goal: Maintenance, but I seem to be getting leaner (don't want to be much leaner/smaller, but I do love working out...and having a flat stomach) and don't want to start eating crap again.0 -
Age : 19
Height : Around 5'4" - 5'6" ( I haven't measured myself in a while but I guess it gives you a rough idea)
Daily Calorie intake: 1550
Workouts : 4 a week,
Weight loss goals : 15kg and then working on toning my body.
Hope that helps 0 -
Age: 29
Height: 165 cm
Daily Calorie intake: 1490 cals + exercise, but try not to go over a hard cap of 1900 cals except on really heavy exercise days.
Workouts: Burn an average of over 600 cals a day through a combination of things. I count my walking throughout the day using a pedometer, but not most of my other work exercise (I have a rather active job). I ride horses about 5 hours/week (relatively fast rides, about 40km/week total), bike on errands and to work once a week (it's a 40km round trip to work, so that's about 60km per week total), do HEMA (historic European martial arts) for about 2 1/2 hours/week, and go on regular hikes with a group of friends during the summer.
Weight loss goals: If I lose another 5 lbs, I'll be under the magical "overweight" BMI limit. Then, hopefully, my doctor will start treating my hormonal issues rather than just blaming them on me being overweight.0 -

Age: 16
Height: 5'8
Daily Calorie Intake: 1200-1400
Workouts: 5-7 days/ week, with cardio (running/treadmill/elliptical usually 45-70 min) 5-6x, basic ab work 5-6x, lifting 3x, pilates 2x, tumbling 1x, and deep stretching most days
Weight loss goals:
HW: 158, LW: 130, CW: 145
Even though my current weight is 15 lbs more than my lowest weight, I still wear the same clothes and have mostly the same measurements (biceps and calves are bigger), so most of the weight gain was muscle, but I'm still trying to cut fat, because I'm not quite comfortable with myself.
I'm at a total loss of how many calories to eat a day, so this is just what I've been doing. I don't have any clue what I should be doing, all of the calculators and differing opinions leave me confused.
Honestly, no one can really help you with that. You are still growing and your needs are different from adults. Please check out sparkteens.com and ask your parents about letting you work with a registered dietitian.0 -

How much are you losing on average per week?0

I am 5'11", weigh 221 and want to get to 175. Would like to get there by Christmas. Is that crazy? My goal is to eat 1500 calories per day but I was told to eat 2,000 but when I do I don't lose. I work out doing an aerobics video that is moderate for 30 minutes about 4-5 days per week. I usually eat some of the calories I earn from the workouts. I try to focus on protein and healthy carbs, fruits and veggies and healthy fats. I have a small cheat about once a week. Either half a pancake with butter and syrup or some Asian food. I don't go crazy and still stay within my calories or really close.
I would love to hear other opinions on my approach.0 -
Granted, this woman is older, which DOES make things harder, but she isn't even overweight now so she DEFINITELY shouldn't be shooting for 2 lbs/week. That's just too fast. Furthermore, although 1200 calories is enough for some women (the 5' tall, 100-pounds and not a lot of muscle crowd), there is no way that is even her BMR, and it isn't good to eat less than that.Age: 58

Yep. This is very unhealthy.
As for me, I am 5'10" and 29 years old.
Due to a spinal cord injury, I can't do a lot for exercise outside of pretty gentle physical therapy. That being said, even if I am almost completely sedentary, I can eat anywhere from 1950-2300 calories and maintain my weight. If I stuck closer to the lower end of that range rather than the higher, I could get rid of a few more vanity pounds.0 -

I have it set to 1200, but basically every day I go two or three hundred over that. I'm losing weight, so hey.
I don't work out, besides the occasional trip to the beach/bike ride/walk with friends. :flowerforyou:
I aim to be 125 lbs; I literally haven't weighed that much in 8 years. (I've always been the slightly bigger girl.

Age:19,
5'5
HW: 150 pounds
CW: 130 pounds
UGW: 120 pounds
Calories: I'm trying to get in 1300 net calories. Some days I'm not too hungry and sometimes I feel starved. I tend to zig zag my calories and allow myself to get up 2500 calories on a cheat day (assuming that is within the range of maintaining a weekly deficit to lose 1/2 pound - 1 pound).
Exercise: Resistance training and Cardio0 -
4'10.5
105 lb
1900 calories a day for maintenance, up to 2100 for very active weeks. 1600 to lose weight. Any less and I get very bad side effects due to my activity levels. When I was just starting out I could handle 1200 / day for several months with minimal endurance cardio.0 -
Age 53
Height: 5' 1"
Daily calorie intake: TDEE 1273 - 250 for a 1/2 lb/wk loss.
CW: 114 lbs
GW; 100-105 lbs
I've lost 20 lbs since joining in May with a 400 calorie/day deficit. I do IF so I eat all my calories in the evening. Now that I'm down to 114 I'm going to start some heavy lifting, not for body comp. but just so I can eat more. A better shape will be an added benefit. Unfortunately, I'm one of those "special snowflakes" that can't eat much at all without gaining. I didn't realize this until I took a desk job about 4 years ago. That's when my weight went from ~100 to 134 very quickly.0 -
