    Age - 20
    Height - 5'7"
    Weight (starting) - 125lbs
    Weight (current) - 115lbs
    Calories eaten per day - Between 500-1000 usually
    Calories burnt per day - BMR for me is around 1200, but if I work out I burn an extra 200-500 that day depending on what I do.
    Goals - Get back to my lowest weight.

    Please tell me this is really not what you're doing. If it is, you need to seek out some help. You aren't eating enough. It's not safe to eat below your BMR.

    girls, if you are 5'7 or 5'8 or 5'9 or somewhere around there please reply and let me know your age, height, weight (in pounds please), how many calories you eat per day and how many you burn per day. Also please include what your goals are (losing weight, getting toned, gaining weight, etc)

    thanks :)

    SW: 218 lbs.
    CW: 183 lbs. with 36% body fat
    GW: 163 lbs. with 24% body fat (but I'm thinking this might change as I get closer to it)
    Calorie intake: It varies but I try to keep it between 1700 to 1800 most days, on the days I workout I eat roughly 1900 to 2100.
    Calories burns: Anywhere from 190 to 400, depending on if I'm doing cardio, strength training or a combo. (30 to 45 minute workouts)

    Height - 5'8"
    Weight (starting) - 148 lbs (highest was 155)
    Weight (current) - 139lbs
    Calories eaten per day - Im not consistent at all. Just recently starting to track (and im not perfect at it yet!) and trying to keep calories around 1500
    Calories burnt per day - No idea. I do high intensity training(obsessed!)3-4 days a week, concentrate on lifting 2 days, and some random cardio.

    Height/Weight: 5'8.5" 130#

    Eat: While I don't track currently, I did for a couple years and was obsessed with it. Because of this I have a great understanding of my intake because I am hyper-aware of cals, protein, carbs and fat numbers on a daily basis. I estimate that I am intaking anywhere from 1900-2100 cals/day.

    Burn: my focus is lifting 3 days/week. I definitely do at least 1 day of cardio but try to do two (either Spin class or running) and do not hesitate to skip it altogether if i need rest or am sore. Because I do not log and I mainly lift, tracking what I burn from an HRM is insignificant.

    Goals: to be stronger and faster than I was yesterday.


    ETA: I'm 30 years old.

    I love your abs :) Really inspiring picture.

    About me: 29yo F
    5'7.5, 137lbs
    SW on 1/20/14 was 141lbs
    Goal: Run for 40minutes at 8mph at 2.5% incline by July.

    I am just starting to track again. My daily caloric goal is 1,400, but I find it very hard to stay under that. I typically (based on past couple of days) eat around 1,600 to 1,800 calories per day. I exercise 4-5 times per week and burn anywhere from 400-800 calories depending on the workout. I am training for a half marathon so I burn at least 800 calories on my long run days. I also do some strength training - free weights, plyometrics, machines. I try to strength train two days per week. I eat most of my exercise calories on days I burn 400, but about half my calories on days I burn 800.

    Age: 39
    Height: 5'7"
    Weight: 200
    Calories: 1897
    Goal weight: 165-170, but it's not that important of a number to me.

    I don't track my calories burned as I'm on TDEE-20%. My exercise calories are already accounted for in my daily caloric intake. I lift heavy 3 days a week and try to get at least 30 minutes of cardio in on 2 other days. I'm starting to take up running (jogging in my case). I'm trying to shred fat while maintaining as much muscle as I can.

    I'm 5'5.5 so we'll say 5'6
    Starting weight: 230
    Current weight: 189
    Goal: 130
    Calories: 1200

    I do cardio at least 5x a week and tend to eat over my calories by a couple hundred and burn those off and a couple extra so I net about 1000 - 11000 on a typical day. I do upper body and lower body weights alternating each day.

    5'9
    startign weight: 180
    current weight: 174
    goal: 150
    recommended calories 1200

    I have been on a 1500 cal/day regiment for the past month. I don't feel hungry but I think I will have trouble trying to maintain 1200/day. I need to get the cardio in for 4 times a week but I have gotten so lazy over the past year.
    I just joined this forum bucause I am constantly reminding myself that I am over weight. and would like to get back to my motivational old self. this will help sharing and caring with others. :love:

    Hi everyone,

    5'9
    29 years old
    Sw: 174
    Cw:164
    Gw: 150

    I have lost 10lbs since January and I must admit I haven't been perfect but am 80% more active than I was. So it is my 30th in a little over a month and I really want to get to my goal weight. Exercise wise I am doing spin 2 x a week, badminton 2x a week and trying to do weights 3-4 x a week. Can someone help me with my diet as I'm not counting calories as I find it really difficult. I need someone to write a food diary for me ha

    I vary my calorie intake by how active I am (some days I don't leave the house, some days I do several hours of physical labour) so I tend to vary between about 1500-2000/day depending.

    I am 5'9"
    Age - 34 on Friday
    SW - 350 (maybe a bit higher)
    CW - 307
    GW1 - 299.9
    GW2 - 285
    GW3 - 250
    GW4 -225

    I will evaluate where things are around 225. Ideally, I'd like to get down to about 200. We'll see. I'm not tied to a number on the scale.

    I eat between 1800 and 2400 calories per day depending on how active I am. I aim for TDEE (per Fitbit) - 1000 calories. Some days are there, others aren't.

    46 years old
    5'9"
    239 lbs
    set at 1600
    usually eat between that and 1800 or 2000
    I exercise a lot but am stuck on bagels.

    my goal weight is around 175 or 180, solid. I was 160 once and I didn't really like it. I looked like a small letter b; flat chest and basketball butt. Good body, I want it back, dammit!

    Stressed out this weekend over moving, stupid landlady not having apartment ready, and I was baking for my 3 year "clean" anniversary. Suffice it to say I ate a lot of choco chip cookies and a few fingers of cake batter. They will be out of the house by tonight. Gag, it makes me sick thinking of it. (feeling sorry for myself and angry about not working out for four days. Stupid cookies! I made them, they are good.)

    Anyway, welcome.

    Start toning NOW while your are losing. Trust me, I'm not kidding. You should do it together. it will be better and you may get to your goal faster incorporating the exercise with the healthful eating.

    CW- 224
    GW- I'm starting at a goal of 198 (onederland), and we'll see how I look/feel at that point for how much more to lose.
    Exercise- I switch it up each day...every other day I do cardio for about 30 minutes, and the opposite ones I do weights/strength training for about 30 minutes. I rest two days of the week.
    Weight loss per week- 1.5 pounds
    Calories: MFP has me set at about 1750...I waver a bit from that, going higher or lower on some days, eating my exercise calories some days and not others, etc.
    My goals are to lower my body fat, gain more muscle, and look better in clothes in smaller sizes.

    I like your goal weight. It's nice to see someone your height who wants to be fit and figured. You go grrl!
