    Hello. Add me if you'd like.

    Height: 5'7
    Age 31

    SW: 223lbs
    CW: 166lbs
    GW: 140-145lbs

    Current Size: 12. Top - M

    I currently eat around 1350-1400 calories a day, and I burn about 500 calories daily doing workout videos and/or cardio.
    i would love to be a size 6, but since I have never been thin, I don't know how much I would have to weigh to be that size.

    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 :)


    Age- 24
    Height - 5'7
    Weight - 190
    Eat 1200 cals
    Burn about 800

    My goals are too lose weight. Living in Miami where it's beach season all year i want to be able to go to the beach without hiding my abdominal area and feeling self concious. Will be doing Insanity on Monday 1/14 to reach my goal of a more toned body - i try to hide away from the scale as id rather loose alot of iinches than numbers on a scale!! =)

    Good luck and dont give up!

    Ordinarily I work out five or six times a week and burn ~500 calories, but I haven't been able to lately, so am trying to eat < 1200 calories to make up for being sedentary. I'm sure it's killing my metabolism, but dgaf.

    I am 31
    5'7 and change
    CW: 162
    GW: 155-157

    Lowest weight on my loss journey: 150 For my frame and curves (booty) it was TOO skinny. I really felt great at my GW

    A lot of people focus on numbers on the scale. i go based on clothes and how I feel naked. I may be 162 but wear a size 6 comfortably. I eat about 1400-1600 calories a day. I work out 4-5x a week. I mix cardio and weight lifting. I can burn up 400-800 calories a session. I do not eat back my exercise calories daily, but allow myself treats when the craving hits. I treat them like a bank. I know that if I have some to spend, I can and will. But I also know that I need to pay myself back by hitting the gym!

    Goal: (don't laugh) I want to look good while running naked...should there ever be a reason for me to have to do that! So that being said...i am a constant work in progress. LOL

    Age: 23
    Height: 5'8.5''
    Starting weight: 310
    Current weight: I started last week and have only done the initial weigh-in so far
    I am allotted 1710 cals. I have yet to exceed my cal limit since when I know I am going to be having something with higher than normal cals for dinner I exercise more.
    The amount I exercise varies quite a bit on a day to day basis, for instance yesterday (today really since it is 1:21am) I did a lot of exercising and MFP said I had 3538 cals to eat (I did not eat back all of those, this also did not include the strength training that I did). On the other hand on Thursday I did not exercise at all.
    goal weight: 150ish, I have a lot to loose so it is really just an estimate, will fine tune when I see what I look like when I get around that weight
    ultimate goals - to be healthier and more attractive

    CW: 146.5
    GW: 125 (By memorial day)
    Daily Calorie Intake: 1310

    Goals: Ultimately I want to become more toned in my arms, legs, and belly. I tried the Insanity work outs last year but couldn't get through the second month. I am doing some kickboxing workouts in January to get my body ready for Insanity month 1 in February. I will know my calories will need to increase when I begin a more demanding workout schedule. Long term goal, I would like to get pregnant at the end of summer, and I would love to be at my healthiest when that time comes :smile:

    CW:140
    GW: To feel good naked...to heck with numbers at this point!
    Calories: Don't count; gluten-free/lactose-free/vegetarian diet.
    Work-out: I walk everyday; sometimes I swim, sometimes I do yoga...but for the most part I try go on as many outdoorsy adventures as I possibly can. Life is too short to be stuck in a gym.

    Hi!

    I'm 18
    5'9"
    CW:174 (I'm just starting out)
    GW: 140 (Ultimately, I'd like to more like 130, but I have no idea what that will look like on me.)
    Calories: 1500 daily.
    Exercise: I lift weights three times a week, but I don't track the calories on that. I'm trying to get into a schedule of running at least a mile a day. Eventually, that distance will increase, as I am training for a Warrior Dash. I also do sporadic dance workouts, pilates, and sports when I can sqeeze them in. I have a group of friends that love to hike, and we are aiming to climb Mt. Stewart this year. W00t!

    Hello fellow tall females :)

    I'm 5ft 7.5
    Age: 21
    CW: 159lbs
    GW: 145lbs
    UGW: 140lbs

    I consume about 1400cals a day and burn on average about 500cals a day and rarely eat them back (meaning I don't freak out if I have a particularly naughty day!)

    I am pretty curvy and love that womanly look. My ideal figure would be to keep my curves but gain an athletic look, nice muscle tone and stuff.

    Any girls with similar stats feel free to add me as I am lacking in support for girls of my size and age!

    A lot of these posts are scaring me too! Seeing women who are this tall and weigh in the 180s, 190s who are netting well below 1200 is not good! Anyway...
    Height: 5'8
    Age: 38
    SW: 207
    CW: 185
    GW:165
    I NET 1600-1800 cals per day. If I exercise and burn 600 cals then heck yes I eat those back for a gross calorie intake of 2200-2400 cals per day. I started this July 1 of 2012 and had lost 25 lbs by September 1, 2012. I relaxed and took Oct, Nov and Dec off for the most part and gained 5 lbs back. I am doing this to be healthy and to feel better in general. I gained 90 lbs carrying twins (they are 6 years old!) and have 20 to go to get back to pre-babies weight.

    I see you are going to be starting Insanity soon! I am planning to re-start the program in February. Is this your first time doing the program? If so, one word of advice...push yourself EVERY workout. I made the mistake of be coming to comfortable with my Month 1 progress, and then realized I wasn't ready (or strong enough) for Month 2. My goal is to kick my butt each and every workout! Best of luck to you...hope you enjoy it!

    I'm 5' 8.5''
    SW: 223 lbs (191 when I started MFP)
    CW: 180 lbs
    GW: 165 lbs

    I workout 5-6 times a week, burning about 500 calories per workout. Total net calories at the end of the day is around 1200 calories. In my profile pic, I was around 183-185 lbs. I did get down to 167 lbs once and I looks kind of skeleton-ish and my mom got concerned, so I'm hoping to be able to get to a muscular and lean 165 lbs for my wedding this November!

    i am 5'8" and weigh 252 now. i am eating 1500 calories. the calculator says 1490 so i am right on according to that. my goal from my dr is 160 since i am 50 year old. i only started last week and was trying to do 20 -30 min cardio and some strength too, but i had fallen and my knee is hurting and i can't see orthoped till next thurs so i am only doing upper body and abs and it doesn't give me any extra alories for that. i wasn't eating the extra calories though anyway. i just want to eat 1500. hope this helps

    i think your goal is fine for your age. when i was younger my dr said i could weigh as little as 120. but i look better at 140 because i am 5'8" and have kinda wide hips.
