    Im not too concerned with counting calories. More concernered with getting the right percentage of protein, carbs, and fats. Ive been on MFP for awhile but wasn't real serious with it. I start my 15 week plan tomorrow so I'll be using it religiously. I aim to burn a lot of calories and I lift pretty heavy. Go big or go home right? :)

    Before MFP...
    Starting weight: 160ish

    MFP...
    Starting weight: 150ish
    Age: 19
    Height: 5'5

    Current...
    Weight: Around 115-118 (fluctuates)
    Age: 20
    Height: 5'6

    For calories, I don't log anymore, so instead of just one goal, it varies. Some days I am hungrier than others, and some days I work out a lot more. Normally, I range anywhere from about 1400-1800 on average.

    This is really interesting for me!

    I am 23 yrs old
    5'7.5"
    Highest weight: 161lbs
    Current weight: 146lbs
    Goal weight: 133lbs

    I have no idea if my goal weight is suitable for me. I want to be a uk size 10 and work on toning and strength. I've never been below 153lbs before so this is all new territory for me. I get so confused cause girls post their before and after photos with the after being 140-160lbs and they look absolutely amazing!! But for some reason I don't see that for me.

    I think I need to focus on toning, strength and how my clothes fit and look rather than the scale number.

    EDIT sorry forgot to say I NET around 1250 cals a day, usually by eating around 1500 and burning around 300

    Age - 38
    Height - 5' 8"
    Current Weight - 134 lbs
    Calories per day - 1200-1300 on a great day
    Calories Burned per day - between 250-400/day 5 days a week minimum

    Goals - after a 3 month work-out/diet relaxation period (i.e. my holidays go from Halloween to New Years) I just began training for a Spartan race in August 2013. My workouts includes a mix of P90X routines, Insanity, core work, and now running. My goal is 5-6 times a week (60-90 min per day). I was about 122 lbs in my profile picture (taken 2 years ago). I wouldn't mind getting back there too.

    ***Calories burned and calories consumed numbers are based on me sticking to my regimen which I'm pretty good about (most days). The exercise is definitely easier than the food consumption. ;)

    Weight goal: 160 lbs
    Eating approximately 1900 calories per day
    Exercising 7 days/week for approximately 1 hour. I go out for a brisk walk.
    I try to eat a healthy breakfast, and lunch and then I eat dinner with the family but smaller potions than I used to and probably substitute in a veg like tinned sweetcorn for their potato element. Not been hungering for desserts or sweet things which surprises me as I used to have a very sweet tooth!

    I like to switch up my calories. For a little while I'll try to net around 1200, then I'll switch it up to between my BMR and my TDEE (which is usually around 1700ish), but currently I'm eating my weight x 12 - 500 (I got this number from Beachbody!). And I always try to eat back SOME calories from exercise. I try to not eat all of them. Also, I try to get 10-12 cups of water a day. I'm a water fiend!

    Exercise-wise, I try to burn 300-500 a day. I walk around my building at work on my two breaks a day, then I usually get on the treadmill when I get home and walk at an incline for 30-45 minutes. I also make sure to stretch really well before and after said exercise!

    SW: 180s in 2006, 140s in 2009
    CW/GW: 120-125
    Calories: 1600-2000
    Exercise calories per day: 300-700 estimated

    I'm at my goal weight and working on getting to optimum fitness, whatever that is for me, and whatever weight that is for me. I have the basic body shape I have been aiming for over the past few years. It took forever to get to this new starting point, and I'm in it for life. I've been counting calories for about a year, but only been using the MFP trackers since November. My goal macro everyday is 40/25/35 C/F/P, but it is generally closer to 35/30/35 in practice. I always aim for 130+ grams of protein.

    I work out (strength training 3-4x, cardio 5-6x) in some form everyday except Sunday. And sometimes on Sunday, but only fun things that the kids do with me, like go to a theme park, play Wii for a couple hours, or a beach walk to their favorite restaurant, 4 miles round trip.

    Height: 5'7"
    Starting weight: 199.8
    Weight: 195.4
    Since January 1....
    calories consumed: around 1580 (suggested by my fitness pal. at the holidays, I got way off track and fear to know how many calories i consumed daily)
    Exercise: about 270 calories per workout. Right now I work out about 2 or 3 times a week. I plan to bump that up in a week or two. I use Slim in 6 produced by beach body or I jog 3 miles (SLOW JOG).

    Goal weight is 175, but I set up my goals by small weight goals. right now I am trying to lose 9lbs which was my summer low. Then I will start setting up 5 lb. weight loss goals until I get to 175. It will be a long process due to the fact that I like losing weight gradually because I keep it off better if it is done by subtle changes AND my body likes to build muscle. Already on week two, I am struggling to show a weight loss. I think that is because of my muscles already responding. 175 will make me a bad mama jamma. I currently wear a 14. I cant even imagine what I will look like at 175. Pretty excited!

    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 :)

    I am 5'7 and currently weigh 183 pounds.
    31 years old
    1450 calories per day eaten
    500 calories per day burned
    My overall goal weight is 145 pounds but I don't want to just lose the pounds I want to tone up and gain the muscle in place of my fat. I gained a lot of weight with my first baby and didn't take it all off before I had my second baby. Now I have lost ALL of my baby weight from both babies and a couple extra pounds on top of that but my body is NO WHERE near the same because my body composition is soooooo different. I want my nice tone muscle back and my jelly belly gone!

    Calories eaten daily: 1200-1600 (just depends on hunger, really)
    Calories burned on days I jog: 350-400

    My goal on the scale isn't so important as I just want to look healthy. My new year's goal is to be able to do one legitimate pushup. I've NEVER been able to do them, even when I was smaller, younger, and in PE.
