    Updating my post from 9/6/11.

    Then:
    Age: 42
    Sex: M
    Body Fat : 23% (Probably closer to 21% -- taken first thing in the morning with a BEI scale).
    Daily Calories: 1554

    BF Goal (optional): 10-15%
    Today:
    Age:42
    Sex:M
    Body Fat: 18.1% (probably closer to 16-17% -- taken first thing in morning with BEI scale)
    Daily Calories: 1865 net, 2105 gross (last 28 day average, net is after deducting cardio exercise calories, gross is total calories consumed)

    That's weird, I forgot weight too. My 9/6/11 weight was 181.0 and my 10/21/11 weight was 167.4

    From 7/14/11:
    Count me IN!
    I just did the website that LorinnaLynn did:

    Age: 40
    Weight: 143
    Height: 5'5
    Sex: F
    Body Fat : 27.6%
    Min. Calories according to above website: 1,821

    ...and boy, it looks like my MFP settings are way off...!
    MFP has me at 1,290 calories a day, and YES I eat back every one of my exercise calories.
    I guess it's doing that b/c I only want to lose about 10 lbs. overall...??

    Do I just open up my diary for this one?
    Thanks again!

    UPDATE 11/9/11, from http://www.scientificpsychic.com/fitness/diet.html:
    Age: 40
    Weight: 136.8
    Height: 5'5
    Sex: F
    Body Fat : 22.3%
    Min. Calories according to above website: 1,821

    *** Interesting, because I had calipers done by the trainer at work not too long ago, and his calculations came out to 15% body fat...wonder why such a difference...?

    Well i cant explain the difference but i would ask your trainer to reconfirm or get a different measurement.

    I will note that the website puts me at 18% while cslipers have me at 11%. I have wide hips bones i think which would scew things.

    Happy Friday!

    Age: 33 (until next week)
    Female
    Weight: 108
    Height: 5'2
    Body fat %: 22.3 (U.S. Navy Circumference Method)
    Calories: -1410 (set by MFP for 'maintenence'. Ok with weight at the moment looking to lower my BF% mostly. I eat back about 1/2 my exercise cals-150-250ish- if I am hungry )
    Goal bf%: 18-20%

    Havent been able to lose inches OR lower my BF for a few months now.... Seems like Im at a stand still! :angry:
    Not sure what the problem is.

    Updating from 10/07/11.
    I have since upped cals to 1600per day (as you suggested). Upped my weights quite a bit, strength/ weights 3 times per week (with added cardio). Working out about 5-6days per week.

    I have NO changes to report *FRUSTRATED* I measured last night and all measurements are the same. I tossed the scale for now (was weighing TOO much before) so not sure of my actual weight- but visually I look about the same... if not BIGGER. Not sure where to go from here... figured I would have some changes to report by now!

    After you replied about this on my post last week - I upped my calorie intake - whilst I haven;t stood on the scales as yet, I am feeling so much better in myself!!
    So Thank you !!

    Update is that for the past 3 weeks I have increase cals to 2000-2100 gross from 1400-1700 gross. My weight is up 3-4 pounds roughly from when I stated. My measurements are the same, but my bodyfat calculated via calipers has gone from 25.7 to 24. My husband is helping me with the measurements so hopefully they are accurate!!! I havent checked my weight for a few days because of monthly timing, but Sunday I plan on weighing again and hopefully the scale starts moving down. Either way hopefully fat % continues moving down!!!

    Sorry I haven't done it so far. I was trying to get to a hundred and on top of that my wife had some health issues. I will try to put together something tonight.

    What are your stats.. height, weight, age, workout routine and do you have medical conditions. Without that, I can't even begin to estimate.
