I am 5"8 and 138 pounds. My maintenance weight is 135 pounds. I exercise 4-5 times a week and burn around 200-300 calories each time.
I also eat 1500 calories a day.
Was wondering how much everyone else exercises, how often and how long for?:)
Just want to get an idea of how much I need to be doing. xxx

I lift 3 to 4 days a week and I have an active job. That said, calories is what I watch to maintain and exercise is for health and fitness. Right now I am set at over 3000 calories to maintain and soon I will increase to a small surplus.0

I maintain 125 pounds by exercising 5 days a week for 1 hour and walking at least 4 miles a day on the week-end.
I eat around 1600 net maintaining and 1200 to lose.
I'm 5'2". Ultimately I'd like to be at 120.0
