in Motivation and Support
I often wonder when looking at other people's success how tall they are, how much they weigh and all so that maybe I can try what they are doing. Although every person's success is individual to themselves, I thought it would be fun to see others statistics.

Me:
Gender: Female
Height: 5' 6 1/4"
Current weight: 185
Calorie budget: 1400 (this is with no exercise accounted for)

    Current weight: 227
    Calorie budget: 1750 set at a loss of 1lb a week.
    I'm still nursing my toddler so I'm happy with even a 1/2 lb a week loss right now, but as soon as she weans, will set it to a higher rate of loss.

    betha519: yes, our stats are pretty close. I was thinking of lowering my calories. I first had them at 1200 and lost 6 pounds right off the bat, but then it slowed to nothing and people suggested I up them, so I did, but I haven't been good and haven't been on MFP in a long time, so maybe I'll just behave myself and see what I can do with 1400. At least then I can always reduce them.

    I eat most all my exercise calories. 60 minutes cardio on my recumbent bike. I loose an average of 2-5 lbs a month (until now I joined the Turkey Day Challenge & lost 2 lbs in 1 week)

    Hoping that loosing slowly will reduce the bagging skin of being overweight for 20 years & older skin of my age.
