    36 years old

    Started MFP at 175 lbs. (US size 12/14)

    Now maintaining at 145 lbs. (US size 6/8)

    Eat 1700-odd calories a day without exercise

    Exercise adds another 300 calories or so- I don't do any crazy calorie burning cardio, just brisk walking and pilates.

    Height: 5'9"
    SW: 218 lbs - size 16
    CW: 196 lbs - size 12
    GW: 170 lbs? Who knows... I want to be a size 8.

    Calories in: My goal is 1750, but I am quite happy anywhere from 1600 - 2000 depending on the day and my activity level.
    Calories Out: Also depends, but I average burning about 3,000 calories a week in 5-6 workouts this time of year.
    Goals: I have been active and athletic for a number of years, it is just much easier when you weigh less. Moving the body with less mass doesn't hurt as much. And if I weigh 170 my coach will finally get off my back.

    Plus I believe we should all wear bikinis and I don't want to feel bad about it anymore.

    trying to eat the 1200 - think I might have cut too much from my diet though, because I struggle to reach 1000 most days. On top of exams and studying, I forget to eat a lot of the time :s
    burn around 3/400 4 days a week from running, 500 twice a week with jiu jitsu.

    Motivation: not so much weight loss, but curbing the weight gain. I got to uni last term and went "wooh, I can eat everything that I want!" Cue the pizza and ice cream and crisps and chocolate - and then the 15 pound gain! My mum's great at making healthy meals, so I'm trying to replicate what she does :)

    22, 5'7", 159, eat around 1800-1900 cals a day and sometimes weight lift & HIITs (3x a week). I'll burn about 250 cals on those days. I want to lose weight & gain muscle.

    I may have to keep losing weight though, still have a tummy & want to get into the 140s. I was at 154 before Christmas but haven't been able to get back into the groove. Still eating sweets & on my period, boooo. Oh well.

    I'm 25
    5'7
    Currently 203 (started at 221)
    I try and net 1200 a day but it may be less than that
    I work out about 600-700 a day, 6 days a week
    In highschool I was about 140 and while that was great for my height, I was flabby. I would love to get back to that (maybe even as low as 130) but a toned version. I may stop at 150 if I feel great. We'll just have to see.

    Age- 27

    Height - 5'6

    Weight (starting) -152.7

    Weight (current) - 150.5

    Weight (goal) - 135(ish)

    Cals- Set at 1,500*

    Goal: My true goal is to get to 12-14% bodyfat before 8/10/13. I want to be lean and toned.

    *If I have to miss the gym I try to stay closer to 1,200. I usually burn between 500-750 calories/day from cardio. And I also lift about 5-6 days per week, so on those days I try to stay as close to 1,500 I can but if I go a little over, I dont sweat it. I NEVER eat my cardio calories back.*

    GW: 140 (Dec 12)
    CW: 139 (this morning)

    New GW: 135 and lower BF%

    Eat 1300-1500 calories (during week, I go higher on weekends but try to add extra workouts).
    Calories burned: 220-600 (I do CLX and TurboFire six days 1/2 hour day and try to add cardio several nights and double up on weekends)

    I started in Sept doing Jillians Body Revolution... put a goal in at 140... hit that number on the head on my last day. Now I want to lose a few more pounds, tone up and lose some belly fat... oops I mean Body Fat ;)
    I am very scared of maintenance... I don't want to fall into bad habits. I know I am close but its nerve-wracking!

    GW140

    I eat anything from 1300-1700 per day depending on how much exercise I do . I work out 4-5 times a week burning 300-500 cals.
    I eat most of my exercise cals back and drink around 2.5 litres of water a day .

    I would like to lose the last 7 pounds.. I am a medium frame and think that I look good at 140 and it is maintainable for me . I also like curves not bone :)

    Height: 5' 6 & 3/4 "

    SW: 155

    CW: 152

    GW: 135

    Cals: 1300-1400 per day

    Burned cals: ~100-150 per day, but 3x per week b/c of a busy schedule. I will change/improve that soon.

    Goal: To be toned...I mean, I am certainly concerned with losing the extra 10 to 15 lbs I gained in my most recent semester in school...but my biggest priority is retoning and shaping my entire body. I used to be a swimmer with an entirely sculpted and fit body and then illness and a very busy but sedentary studying lifestyle caused a great deal of muscle tone loss. I really want my legs (particularly my thighs) to be nice, lean, and toned for summer.

    GW: ? Set to 155 but we'll see.
    Calories in: 2000ish
    Calories burned: TDEE is about 2300

    Now working on losing fat and building muscle, but if I lose a bit of weight too then I'm OK with that. The very lowest weight I'd currently countenance being is about 148, less than that on my frame and I think it'd look bad.

    Eat: 1600-1800 calories a day no matter what exercise I do. I eat mostly Paleo so no dairy or grains.

    Burn: 200-800 depending on the day. I crossfit 4 x per week, run 2-3 (3-5 miles at a time), lift twice per week, and walk to work each day (2 miles total)
