    5' 5 1/2"
    Starting weight: 182 (165 on MFP)
    Goal weight was: 135
    Current weight: 129ish
    Calories: 1600 - 2400 or more per day depending on activity (avg 1900-200)

    When losing weight, I started at 1200, then upped it to 1440, and ALWAYS ate back my exercise calories. When I went on maintenance, I still lost another 7 pounds.

    Goal weight: 124
    Calories: 1500-1700 daily
    Age: 22

    I lift heavy three times a week and do cardio three times a week with Sundays off. Probably going to be upping my calories soon because I feel like I might have hit a plateau at the gym.

    I find it disturbing to see so many young people think that 110 lbs is an ideal weight. That scares me.

    Me too :/
    And so many people are eating under 1200 calories... (And not eating back what they burn!)

    I eat at least 1350 calories a day, and eat whatever I burn back. (When I do exercise lol, I need to do it more often...)

    Yes, very disturbing indeed. This thread is just plain scary.

    It sounds scary to me too, until I remember that my 5'4" daughter graduated HS at 106. She was very healthy and ate normally, she was just naturally thin at that age. When the young girls get to college they will put on their Freshman 15 and be a more 'normal' size. Some girls are just naturally that thin. What is bad is when girls that aren't naturally that thin, starve themselves or purge to get there. Health is more important than a number on the scale. Find a healthy weight for your frame and be happy with yourself.

    ETA There are also girls/women older than teenage, that 110 is a healthy weight for them. There are apple and pear body shapes, and also a banana shape, which is a small slender frame that is naturally thin.

    This thing tells me I need to eat 1200 calories a day but I eat less than that. I obviously don't need to lose a lot of weight. I just would like to return to the weight I was before starting college. :) Almost there.

    Yes, very disturbing indeed. This thread is just plain scary.

    Agree. And even more scary are the people still posting unhealthy GWs even after several comments like this.

    Wondering if the board is actually full of anorexics, girls in need of attention, or girls who can't read....

    How many calories you eat a day? Planned is 1450, but I always seem to end up at less than 1200.

    Just started working on this. Looking to eat less than 1200 per day and burn 500 cals 3 times per week. Ooohhhh, and no carbs just to jump start the diet.

    Current weight: 212 lbs.
    Goal Weight: Maybe 150? Not sure - I'm fairly muscular and want to stay that way, so not much under that for sure - aiming more for a healthy body fat%.
    Age: 30
    How many calories you eat a day: NEVER less than 1200 and I keep it under 1800. I aim for about 1500 or so and I'm doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution (without her, in my opinion, unhealthy calorie restriction meal plan - just the workouts), so I burn a good 300-400 calories a day. I'm only at 1,163 for the day so I'm about to go have a brownie left over from Thanksgiving :) It will be awesome.
