    Age: 66
    Height: 5'6"
    Starting weight: 212
    Current Weight: 175
    Goal weight: 145 - then reassess
    Activity level: currently light; gym membership starts July 1; planning regular schedule to include weights, swimming, Pilates, and yin/yang fusion (because I have no idea what that is, sounds like a cooking class)
    Weight loss goal: about 1 pound per week; maintenance when traveling internationally (which I do frequently)
    Calorie Goal (Net): 1350
    Average Calorie intake: 1350 at home, difficult to calculate when traveling

    24% Protein / 60% Carb / 16% Fat - well, that's ugly. However, before I joined mfp I thought "macro" only referred to economics.

    Criticism: Open to constructive suggestions on how to improve.

    Aedreana here!
    Gender: Female
    Age: 61
    Height: 5' 3 1/2"
    Starting weight: The most I ever weighed was 200, once briefly in my 30s, when I was in extended don't-give-a-f*** mode. Yo-yo dieter since age 14, although for the past 4 years I haven't weighed over 131, and have not weighed over 127 for about 2 years. Was as low as 108 as recently as the summer of 2013 and as low as 110 as recently as 5 months ago. Have not dieted yet in 2014, but soon.
    Current weight: 121
    Goal weight: 115 ???? Probably somewhere between 112 and 116. I need to fine-tune my exact goal!
    Activity level: Sedentary. Lifelong sedentary couch potato even as a child.
    Weight loss goal: 2 pounds per week
    Calorie goal: 700/day when on the diet I plan to start within several days from now.
    Average calorie intake: Around 3900 calories/day, more or less, when not dieting. I have a fast metabolism. My theory is that stress and worry burns calories.
    Exercise: lmao
    Macros: I have been a vegan since age 18. I don't get much protein at all. Primarily carbs (mainly starches) and high-fat, but I don't know exact percentages.
    Criticism: I am fine with criticism. Do not expect me to exercise; exercise makes me hostile.
