I have to do this in three stages to match my ticker:

1. The first 60
2. 5 years
3. Don't know, didn't track it
4. None
5. Ditto, obviously (I ended up at about 35% body fat.)

1. The next 25
2. 1.5 years
3. Netting 1200 (this really sucked, btw, and I ended up with serious issues related to undereating.)
4. Six (all cardio)
5. About 300 (About 27% BF)

1. The last 15
2. Six months
3. Between 2000 and 2400 calories
4. Six (lifting x 3, cardio x2, one active rest day)
5. Don't track it now, but less than 300. (I started TDEE and my exercise is included in my calorie goal. I'm at about 18-19% BF now.)

I now maintain at 2500-2600. The moral of my story is lift weights and eat enough to fuel that.

tmauck4472

1. 214
2. 2 years (not done still have 60 to go)
3. I can't tell you cause people get upset
4. some weeks none, never a set amount of time but I lost the same weight each week no matter if I worked out or not.
5. at my heaviest 8 to 900 right now only about 300 or so depending on what I do.

On #3 yes I was eating low, but I was really heavy and needed to get the weight off faster than most. Now that my weight loss has slowed and I'm down to the last lbs I've upped my calories and I'm not concerned if I'm losing right now. I'm working on building up my calorie intake without gaining to much more before I start losing again.

1. 82.5lbs (37.4kg) since I started my weight loss journey (Sep 12, 2012), 69lbs (31.3kg) since I started using MFP (Jan 1, 2013).

4. I usually exercise 6-7 times a week, but there have been weeks when I haven't worked out at all (like in the middle of Feb) 'cause of health issues.

5. 150-1000+ calories. My most insane exercise calorie burns were 6000-7000+ cals/week, but that was during the first half of 2013. This year my weekly exercise calorie burns have been between 708-2995, usually around 1500-2000.
