    Age: 28
    Height: 173cm (5'7?)
    Starting Weight: 71kg (157lb)
    Current Weight: 58kg (127lb)
    Goal Weight: This is a moving target. Short term 56 kilos (125lb). Once I get there, I'll re-evaluate with my coaches (I compete in weight class- based sports).
    I typically burn between 700-1000 calories daily, and I eat 1650 cals on lifting days, and 1200 on non-lifting days.

    Age: 22
    Height: 5'7.5"
    Weight: Around 127lbs
    Calories in: God knows! 2000+ (?) It really depends on the day though, some days may be less, some significantly more!
    Calories burned: Not 100% on this either, but I run 3-4 times a week (bulk of the running around 4-5 miles, then one long run). Then a couple of strength workouts a week...

    It seems like I eat a lot in comparison to some of you guys, but if I ate any less then I would end up losing weight. I get a lot of veg in my diet, so am probably overestimating the amount that I eat, seeing as I use that to bulk out most of my meals...
    My focus is to maintain muscle and run further!#
    Have been a lot skinnier in the past with a terrible diet...

    ^^^^ 2000+ really isn't that much for your height. I am losing eating 2000+ as are many of my same-height friends. Around 1600 on rest days.

    I'm 45
    Height 5'7"
    Start weight 111
    Current Weight 117
    Goal weight 130
    I lost weight severely fast due to stress and depression about two years ago, I've been struggling to regain weight back to a healthy number and not look like skin and bones with deflated muscles. I try and eat around 2500-3000 cal a day. I've been at this for about 3 weeks and have only gained 6 lbs. I also do zero cardio cause I don't want to burn any of my calories away. I try and do squats and others alike but not consistent, sad. Any suggestions on how I can gain quicker would be appreciated. Thank you :-)

    Height: 5'7"
    Age: 30
    Start weight: 267lbs
    Current weight:250lbs
    Goal weight for now is 150lbs with short term goal of 238lbs (i.e. 17st)
    Current recommended daily calories on MFP: 1400
    Exercise: 30-50 mins walking per day at just over 3mph.
    I don't eat back all exercise calories and like a 100cal or so buffer for inaccuracies so nett about 1300 most days. I go over occasionally but I don't worry. I have been losing at a rate of 2lbs a week but this week I lost 4lbs. I hope it doesn't come back to bite me next week!

    5'9.5
    AGE 29
    Start weight 219
    Currently 196
    Goal 150 ish depending on how my body looks, I've never been that small in a healthy, toned way.

    I have my calorie goal set to 1200. I work out 5-6 times a week. I burn at least 600 calories when I do, but usually around 800.
    I do at least an hour when I work out, most times 1 hr 15 mins.
    I try to have a 500 calorie a day defecit. I have lost every week. This week though, I have snacking more as I quit smoking. We shall see! :)
    I weigh in daily to track my progress and adjust a bit after a bad day, but I only record my weight on Monday morning.
    Please add me if we have similar goals! :)

    I'm 5' 8.5"

    HW: 210

    CW: 136

    GW: 125

    My actually goal weight is 130 which has been a struggle to try to get to...(damn holidays!!) I'm hoping to get down to 125 so that when I add maintainence calories in once I hit that goal I'll probably bump back up to 130(because that happens). I try to eat around 1400 calories a day. Currently I've been pretty sedentary but have been known to lose 5 pounds using Ripped in 30 and I've toned doing weight training circuits. I'm hoping to get my Ripped in 30 DVD back here pretty soon from a friend so I can start using it again. Jillian kicks your butt but it's so fun!

    Age: 32
    Height: 5'8
    Weight: 140 lbs

    Cal Intake: From 1900 (rest days) to 2500+ usually on days I workout. I have been trying to lower that though to lose the last couple of lbs

    Cal burns: Usually from 550 - 1000 depending whether I'm doing a 5k that day or 10k+ or if I'm doing weights

    Goal: Get stronger, lower body fat and although I have reached goal I'd like to lose 3-4 lbs more so that when I increase my intake again I'm not creeping over my GW

    I am 5'8 and 29 yrs old

    Starting weight:185
    Current weight: 150
    Goal:140-145

    I got to 150 by August/Sept last year and took a break from everything. So I have now decided to do this again and lose that last 10 pounds.

    Calorie goal is 1320 and I eat about half to all of my exercise calories back. When I was on a break and maintaining at 150...I was probably eating an average of 1700-1800 calories and not gaining.


    And I burn about 400-550 calories a day. 4-5 times a week. (When I took a break...I didn't exercise at all)
