    Hey. I'm 5'7 and looking to lose another 25-30 lbs. I've been focused on heavy weight lifting and it has made me look and feel strong and sexy....something I did not think would be possible while being in the middle of my weight loss journey.

    Today I just adjusted my goals based on TDEE calculator....so I'll stop counting my exercise calories and just eat 1800 a day. I work out 5 days a week - 4 doing heavy lifting and 5 doing cardio like spinning and Cybex Arc Trainer.

    Add me to your friends list if you'd like!

    Hey deena, we are of course already friends but if any of these othere ladies are looking for more support/motivations you are all more then welcome to add me :) I have very simular goals and am 26yrs old 5'8. I was very shy when I started over 80 days ago and have come to realize doing this with other supportive people its easier and more fun to see how awesome everyone's doing.

    p.s. I could still afford a few friends with similar goals.
    The ladies from this post get a thumbs up, by the way!
    Oh and I'm at 1600/day not 1640. Not that it makes that much difference :bigsmile:

    Feel free to add me! I'm 5'6", 20lbs to go (Lost 7 so far in 6 weeks, woot!) on around 1550 cals a day. I've upped my exercise (I found I *love* to run), so I've upped my cals to ~1600-1700+ a day to refuel. So far, so good @ the higher calorie goal. Eating good, and feeling great, while still solidly losing 0.5-1lb a week.

    I don't "eat back" my exercise so to speak. I use the IIFYM.com TDEE calculator (based on my 3-5 days a week of cardio), less 15-20% for weight loss. I'd much rather eat a constant calorie goal each day, than have to add in and figure out what else I must eat to hit my macros.
