Gender, ht, wt, calorie budget

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)

Cynder

Gender: Female
Height: 5'9
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.

SW: 183
CW: 161

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.

I should add that MFP gives me a baseline of 1200 calories per day, but I know that at my current exercise schedule I lose on 1600.

GW 122 (or whatever I weigh once I am in good shape workout-wise)
Calories: 1450 - 1680 per day plus exercise calories

1680 is what MFP says is my maintenance. I try to keep it at 1450 since I still could lose a few pounds of fat but I don't feel bad if I get my maintenance cals a few days a week (weekends typically).

Edit: I haven't lost any weight in over a month... slowly but surely I guess.

Cal: I have it set to 1350 right now, but MFP tells me 1200 no matter what rate of loss I choose. After playing with this for some time, I realized I needed a smaller deficit. My loss has been seemingly slow, but I have lost 9lbs in the last 17 weeks, so I guess that averages out to about 1/2 lb per week. I'll take it!

Calories 1560, that's at about 1.5 pounds a week and a 750 (Aprox) deficit before exercise, because of the large deficit I'm not too hard on myself if I go over a bit :bigsmile:

PhotographerOfNature

Awesome! I definitely think that my 1400 is a bit high compared to you all, so since I like to eat, I guess I better up my exercise huh? :bigsmile:

start weight - 270
current weight - 211
goal weight - 200 (ish)
Calorie goal - 1730 for 1-1/2 lbs a week loss.

3 days a week - 400 calories from Cardio (elliptical or bicycle) + 200 circuit training (30 day shred)
3 days a week - 400 calories from Cardio (elliptical or bicycle) + 200 circuit training (30 day shred) + 200 weight training (freeweights, strength/mass building routine. Supplementing protein those days)
1 day a week - rest, cheat meal, try to stay under 1800-1900 for the day.

Not eating all those exercise calories, eat 2200-2300 most days. Have been maintaining weight since august but getting leaner/harder/stronger. I'm satisfied. Reaching that 200 pound goal would be nice, but reaching 12% bodyfat would be nicer! Currently around 15%.
