    I'm 5'10" and I'd like to be around 150lbs as well. I made it there once, and I've had a bit of up and down and back up again since then, and right now I'm just over 170lbs and I'd like to make it to 160lbs by the new year.

    Hah thanks.. that was from when I was closer to 150lbs, but I do carry my weight fairly well when I gain.. perks of being of above average height, I suppose! :drinker:

    I'm 5' 8" and my goal is also 150... I was between 140-150 from age 17 until 23 then I gained weight steadily for the next 3 years. When I hit 180 I knew I needed to make a change! I started eating clean and working out about 7 weeks ago and am down to 165. I still have 15 lbs more to go but I am determined not to lose motivation this time around!

    So many tall people, it makes me jealous! I'm only 5'3" :(

    I had 170 to lose when I started, and only 127 to go (after I log it tomorrow unless I lose more).

    How much are you girls eating a day and how much do you usually lose a week? I wanna lose around 2lbs a week and found I ate way too little before (barely 1200). Now struggling with how much I should eat when I burm off 500 a day?

    I'm set at losing a pound a week and my daily goal is set to 1,690 I think. I try to aim pretty high but that's mostly because I'm breast feeding my baby and I'm afraid of going too low and losing my supply. Right now my calories are all over the place. I think once I'm done nursing it will be easier for me to find a number and stick with it.

    I was at 1460, then I lost some pounds and MFP suggested going down to 1350. I lose anywhere from 1 to 5 pounds a week. Some times I won't reach the 1200 Calories needed, but I eat between 500-1000 calories some days. When my metabolism slows down, I eat more to reach 1350. All I do [for exercise] is 30 Day Shred, and plenty of raking leaves. (I don't eat calories back.)

    Hi, I'm 5'7" and about 160. I would like to be down to 145 by the New Year. Today I'm getting organized and tomorrow I start for real. I pan to eat about 1800 on high exercise days and 1400 on exercise free days.

    MFP should set it for you, and it really depends on how active you are. I'm fairly active as a student, I walk at least 3-4 miles daily just getting around, and I work out 3 times a week for an hour and a half to two hours. My account is set to "active" and that puts me at about 1800 calories a day before exercise. If I stick to that, I lose... unfortunately I've been having problems sticking to that :blushing:

    You should really check out your BMR and TDEE. That'll give you all the info you need. BMR you can get right on MFP, and there are tons of TDEE calculators on the internet, you could just google it. I think it's generally recommended for weight loss to eat 20% below your TDEE.

    Hi Caltoin,

    I've added you as a friend because I am also 5'9" and the lowest I've weighed is 154. 150 is my dream goal though!

    Hopefully all of us here can help motivate each other.
