    I'm 5'6

    Starting weight was 138. It's taken 3 months to slowly reduce to 126 today.

    I'm on 1280 calories per day. I eat pretty much every food type I like but smaller portions.

    Before having children I was 118 and would like to achieve that in a few months time.

    I'm 5'4" and 155 lbs, however when I created my profile I selected sedentary as I have a desk job, and that only gave me 1200 cals a day, which I find impossible to stick to even when I eat mostly lean proteins and limit my sugar.
    It tells me it will take me months to reach my 125lb goal, so I'm not sure what calorie count I should be sticking with
    . I run a few times a week, burning between 200-300 cals, and play hockey 2-3 times a week.

    Can anyone offer insight as to what calorie count I should be going by to lose about 1-2 lbs a week?

    I'm 5'6 and am 130 today and my current goal is 120. I've started working out a few times a week, my goal is 4 times/week for about an hour. I've been eating about 1080 calls a day. I'm realizing(?) that is too low. Its also hard to gauge my activity level because it changes a lot from day to day.

    Edensienna: Do you eat 1280 cal a day, or net that?

    I'm 5'8 and currently weighting in at 150lb-ish

    but I've been in the 135lb area to compete in particular sports

    I lost tons of weights by doing workouts that kept my core hot and provided afterburn effect. OH..and drank lots of water..other than that, I was still pigging out..foods like fries and burgers..but that's just me.

    I'm 5,6" and want to be 140lbs. Currently running three times a week, yoga and sometimes add in work out routine. Have found eating low carbs is helping shift weight.

    I'm 5'6" and 170 pds. SW was 202. First goal is 160.....but really I don't want to go any lower for a couple reasons. I'm the type who is always going to have to work to stay in a range I want, realistically I don't think I would be able to maintain any less. Second of all I LOVE my boobs, I've already lost some and prefer not to have them disappear (my bf also feels this way). I just wanna be at a point where I can sit comfortably, be in my healthy BMI range, AND feel good about myself. Kudos to those who wanna be 120 pds but the last time I was 120 I was 12 and I was scrawny!!! Looks as though I'm the only one NOT wanting to be under 140! To each their own though!

    I had the same problem I have Pcos and Hoshimotos. I have found that drinking water infused with apple and cinnamon sticks help with sugar levels (pcos). You can only drink the water for 3 weeks and then off for 2 but it helps shock your metabolism. I am 5'5 and started out at 250 on August and as of today I have lost 54 pounds

    I'm 5'4.5" and am happily staying at 150lb. I'm a 49 year old size 8 and that is ok with me! We follow a heart healthy diet, here. Low cholesterol and low salt. This is going to sound terrible - but I lost 34 with minimal exercise- as I had surgery and was recovering for quite a while. But now that I'm at my goal I'm back to being very active and hitting the gym as much as I can.

    I'm 5' 4" and currently around 123 lbs. I would like to be 105 lbs. I started at 136 lbs, lost a few pounds on my own, and started using MFP when I was 132 lbs. I've decreased my portion sizes and rice intake dramatically; that's basically it. I don't have much time to exercise (being an art student does that), but I've been controlling my calorie intake to around 1200 - 1400 daily. It's been super slow business though :/
