    I'm 21
    5'6 -currently 130lbs
    Goal: 117-119lbs
    I try to net 1500calories - so I eat back what I burn off
    But it changes yesterday I only ate 800 calories and I was stuffed.
    Today is going to be another lower calorie day- not planned.
    Usually I burn 400calories a day.

    I'll be 43 in a few days.
    5' 7"
    Start weight: 199
    Current weight: 182
    Goal: 149

    I eat NET calories per day of 1200. Typically I actually eat a little over 1700 calories per day (burn at least 500).

    The "roadmap" gave me a figure of about 1700, as did "Scoobysworkshop" so I'm using the MFP calculation but tweaking my exercise to allow me to eat the target amount that should be 20% less than my Total Daily Energy Expenditure.

    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 :)

    5'7.5"
    Age: 23
    Current Weight: 176
    Goal: 145
    Cal/day: 1480
    Burned/day: 200

    I'm currently doing the 30ds. It's not that long and helps me get into the habit of working out every day. I'm going to do this and walk around my neighborhood and when the 30 days are over, I hope to take up more activity. My first goal is to lose the weight first, but eventually I want to get into lifting

    Age: 29
    Height: 5'9
    SW: 264
    Goal: 180 (to start!)
    Trying to stay at 1800 calories consumed a day.
    I am currently doing strength training/weight lifting because to do any cardio, I have to go in my garage and its too cold for that right now! I burn about 200 calories by using our Bowflex - planning on doing it 5 days a week.
    I have begun tracking food again and am trying to have a deficit. I don't want to eat back the calories I burn.
    Overall goal is to get to a healthy weight and have a healthy BMI. I would also like to set a better example for my children, as my 8 year-old son is quite hefty and I don't want him to have the same poor body image I have. I have a one-year old daughter and I know that her preteen/teenage years are going to be dramatic enough without adding obesity to the list of things that ails teenage girls :)

    Hi!

    (almost) 5'9
    CW 163
    GW 150
    1200 cal per day - but I need to exercise off like 400-500 cals a day to meet a NET goal of 1200 or around there... Otherwise I tend to eat more around 1500-1700....

    My goal is to make it to 22% body fat percentage, which is around 150 pounds for me.

    I'm 5'8 1/2
    Age 45
    SW 190
    CW 161
    GW 155

    Daily Calories about 1200-1500.
    I am eating less than 60 carbs per day. When it was nice out, I was riding my bike each morning for about 45 minutes before work but haven't done any exercise this winter to speak of.
    When I post what I am eating I tend to stay on track better. During the holidays I fell off tracking and fell off eating healthy. Back on track now and have just about lost my holiday weight.

    Thank you for posting this, it is very enlightening to see that those of us in this height range are looking at about the same goal weight.

    I am eating between 1400-1600 cals / day, doing 30DS so around 200-300 cals burn.

    I am 5'7 and 3/4

    cw: 163.8
    gw: 120

    then I might do a bulk/cut cycle.

    I eat mostly whatever, anywhere from 800-1800 cals a day. Trying to cut down on grains and up protein. I also eat fatty meats, butter, peanut butter, and I like to bake, so I make breads and stuff. I just try to make sure every calorie is tasty, and then lots of veggies.

    I have a fitbit, average around 14000 steps a day, which is about 2400 calories burned.

    Hi there!

    I'm 24, 5'9", and current weight is ~159 lbs. My goal weight is 140, but 135 certainly wouldn't hurt! :) I work out daily (about 6 times a week at an intense level for at least 45 minutes). Currently doing the Insanity workout 4 times a week, running on the treadmill 1 day a week, and Pilates on the weekend. I'd estimate that I burn anywhere from 350-700 calories per day from exercise. I set my net calorie intake to 1550 per day (up from the 1200 that MFP recommended after researching and finding out that I probably was NOT losing weight due to the low level of caloric intake). My goal is primarily to lose weight, though hoping Insanity tones my body a bit more as well!

    Add me if we have similar goals/body types!

    Hi!

    I eat 1610 calories a day
    I only want to lose a few more pounds. I mainly want to tone up more. I usually run 4 to 5 days a week (3 or 4 miles) and lift weights 2 times a week. When I'm training for a half marathon I run quite a bit more miles.

    Right now I aim for about 1400 calories a day. I haven't started exercising yet. I have to get the work out videos burnt and figure out when is best time for me to work out. Right now I'm sort of digusted with myself and my lack of energy. I used to have some get up and go and I miss that! I want to start working out and losing weight to feel better physically and mentally. I'm looking for friends on here with similar goals. feel free to add me. :)
