    I try to stay around 1300 calories a day. I have lost 21 lbs. since Jan. 1st. Besides portion control and cutting out fried, sugary foods, I have been doing cardio and some strength training about 4 times a week.
    My goal is to get down to 140 lbs. I am at a plateau right now and I know I need to up my exercise to more like 5-6 times per week, just making time for that is hard when you have a full time job and 2 kids. Excuses are easy though, and I want to lose this weight so I'm gonna make it happen!!!

    I'm 23 and between 5'7 and 5'8.

    Current weight: 150
    Goal weight: 130

    I try to keep it under 1,400 calories a day but go over sometimes, and I try to burn about 1,500 per week through exercise but I don't exercise every day. I go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week.

    My goal is to slim back down to the weight I was a few years ago, to get overall more fit, and to develop an exercise habit because I've never had much of one.

    Age: 19
    Height: 5'8
    Highest weight: 240lbs
    Current weight: 183lbs
    Goal weight: 155lbs

    I try and net 1200-1600 cals a day for a 2lb a week loss (that's a rough goal, some weeks is more, some weeks is less)

    If I go to the gym the machines and MFP tell me I burn about 600-800 cals so it's probably more like half that haha. Also if I don't make it to the gym (I go probably 2-5 times a week? depends what I've got on at uni) I'll try and get a 30+minute walk or jog in. Maybe a 30 day shred session if I can be bothered :D

    I want to get down to 155 because I've been that number before and I feel it looked great on me. I felt slim and toned and sexy. Also reignited my love affair with running and the toned legs it gives me <3
    Once I'm closer to goal I want to focus more on weight lifting and a little less on cardio just to change it up.

    Age: 31
    Height: 5'8
    Started Weight: 100
    Current Weight: 122
    Goal Weight: 125
    Calorie Intake: about 2700 on a good day
    Calories Burn: I think this app is incorrect as a burn tracker...I do abs every morning with the exception of Saturday and every other day I do full body in the evening (so some days I workout twice).

    My Goal switched from gaining weight to gaining muscle. At this point I want to tone and have the last few pounds be muscle.

    27 y/o
    5'7"
    Current Weight: 155
    Goal Weight: 135

    Caloric Intake: 2500-3000 cals per day
    Exercise: Burn about 650 (heavy weight lifting 3 days a week and HIIT 5 days a week, twice a day)

    I haven't really been taking my food intake too seriously so I've just maintained my weight.
    However, if I was to simply cut 500 cals per day I could be at my goal weight in no time, I'm just not ready to take that step yet bc I love food too much :)

    Calorie target: 1750 but I burn around 300-600 5 or 6 times a week and eat most of it back so most days it's around 2200. I also lift 3 times a week via the Stronglifts 5x5 program.

    Goals: Losing weight, gaining muscle, lowering BF%. I do not have a target weight, I have a target look/feel, when I reach it, I will maintain.

    Height: 5'8"
    Weight: 159

    My highest weight was about 190 or so and my lowest was about 140.

    My goal is to get to about 125. I eat 1200 calories per day and I don't exercise. My job is pretty physical and I'm on my feet all day doing a lot of lifting, pushing, and pulling.
