I am 175 and I eat a lot. I have been doing better since doing this but my calorie intake should only be around 1350 I think. I would have to go back and look.0

5'6 (although I may have shrunk to 5'5, I still claim 5'6),
Starting weight: 158
Current weight: 152
Allotted 1420 per day. I exercise three days a week, burning 300-600 calories each session and eat all of those back. For six weeks, I have lost 1 pound per week. I have not gone more than 100 calories over on any given day. Some days I have banked exercise calories for the next day.0 -

It's not so much what I eat, but that I need to burn off so as to lose.
Having a job that glued me to a desk lead to back problems, knee problems and ill health. And massive weight gain.
So, for me the solution is to become really, really active, so that I not only regain mobility and all the related health benefits, but lose weight too.
I got myself out of the obese category and into the overweight category by sticking to 1200 calories per day. Then I got really hungry. Now, I simply try to burn more than I take in. What I had regained is falling off slowly. This is my strategy until it stops working.0 -

Maintaining at 1590 but will increase that soon as I just entered my second trimester in pregnancy. To loose weight I always ate at 1200.0 -
SW 170, CW 166, GW 145
I eat more or less 1200 calories a day as suggested by MFP. If I exercise, I will eat more. I plan to stick to this until I reach my GW and then I will up my calories to about 1600 to maintain my weight while keeping a pretty decent exercise regimen.
I found I can eat some of my favorite foods if I just control my portions and drink water to create the full feeling. For instance, yesterday, I had a slice of pizza, and the day before that, I had a plate of Mexican food that included shrimp, steak, beans, rice, a salad, and avocado. I was able to eat all of this and still stay in my daily calorie count. I have been able to lose weight steadily, too.0 -
Depends on how much I work out... but
I am 5'6 and 200lbs
If i were to be honest, until the past two weeks consuming about 2000 calories and maintaining 200lbs
I've decreased it to around 1500-1600 including my exercise calories that I eat back. (Without exercise 1400)
When I workout out intensely, 6 days a week, I was 180 and would consume around 2500+ and maintain.0 -
I am surprised by how much some of the ladies posted but then again they are MUCH younger than I am. So what do I shoot for daily?
5'6"
age 58
current weight is 170
calorie count 1250
If I exercise I might get a bit more, especially on a weekend when I have a glass of wine with dinner.
Currently my goal is to exercise 6 days a week. Focused on aerobics and getting 10,000 steps daily. I am just starting to do some strength training. I need to increase my muscle tone. I am quite out of shape.
My goal weight is 150 by May 15th.
My spouse is supportive but he is not changing his eating habits or exercising but he is not overweight.
:drinker: good luck on your progress.0 -
Eating half of the exercise calories seems like great advice. Congrats on your weight lost. Impressive!!!0

5'6. I started in Oct at 198lbs and my current weight is 170lbs so I've averaged about 2lbs a week loss. This past week I actually gained 1-2lbs because I started incorporating weights into my exercise plan. I get exercise 7 days a week for at least 30 minutes. I'm set to eat 1200 calories a day but because I work out so much I've been eating 1300-1500.0

Average since the beginning of the year 1750, last week has been better at average of 1530. I cycle calories, so some days are much higher and others much lower.
I'm 43 and currently at 184.0 -

SW 190 (3 and half years ago)
CW 142.4
GW 135
Total Calories per Day 1500
If I don't exercise, I try to eat a bit less that day. The weight is coming off slowly but steadily at about a half pound a week or less since I got to within 10 lbs of my goal weight. I really have to stick to calorie counting at the moment to get there. Eating less (1200 cals and eating part of my exercise calories back) actually stalled my progress.0 -
5'6", 176 pounds
I net 1600 daily.
I frequently go a bit over that number but I still lose. MFP keeps setting me lower and I manually change it to keep it at 1600 because it's working for me0
