ETA: I fit in three strength training and three cardio sessions a week.

I'm 5'6 and currently weigh 163lbs. I was 220, and my goal is 150. I eat around 1500 calories a day, sometimes less. I workout 5 times a week.

Im 5ft6

Currently weight 19st4lbs

Goal weight: 14stone to start with,

I am set to 1700 calories a day, after 6 months i will take it down a hundred.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

145lbs, 2000-2200 a day, maintaining.
Oh, and if it matters I'm 27, and I exercise 2-4 hours moderate to hard effort a week. Body fat is 25-27%.

I'm about 5'4.5" and am 60 years old. I started at 138 in July. I'm currently 122. My goal weight is 120, although I'm more focused on getting stronger, fitter, and a bit more muscled right now. I think my goal is still set at .5 lb weight loss per week, and MFP put me at 1200 calories. I do eat the exercise calories that I earn (as measured by a heart rate monitor) so on exercise days I may be eating 1550 calories or so.

i'm trying for max. weight loss possible so i eat around 1200cals per day, and on days i work out i might eat up to 1400ish.

I like to net ~1300 while losing weight. I'm netting between 1300-1400 currently. I am pretty sedentary and I guess I eat exercise calories back till I get to that 1300-1400 level. I base mine on weekly averages not daily though.

So this week looked like:
Sunday: 1102 -645 (exercise) = 457
Monday: 1329
Tuesday: 1313
Wednesday: 1314
Thursday: 1368
Friday: 1519
Saturday: 1779 - 216 (exercise) = 1563 net.
= 1266 net for the week (Sunday was a bit too low... but you get the idea)

Age 52, 5'5", 131 lbs., maintaining at 1600 average. I was under several days last week so that I could have a special meal today. This is my first week of maintenance, but so far so good. I weigh exactly on the nose the same as last week. For exercise I am lifting with bar bells, working my abs and due to an injury, have just started light leg work again. I don't log my exercise because I don't feel it burns much. I lost the most rapidly at 1000-1200 cals per day, but it was misery.
