I am new to this group and eating between 1000 and 1400 calories depending on my activity level.

I am 55 years
Height 5'2.5"
SW - 137
CW - 130
GW - 117

I do not attept to eat back my exercise calories but sometimes I eat some of them. I am working on increasing my protien without going over my calories. My diary is open. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm Mary, It says I've been on MFP for a year, which isn't the case. I signed up a year ago but was never on it until three months ago, maybe four. Now I'm a bit confused with everything. I'm working my way through it and am dedicating more time and energy.
I weight 203lbs and I'd like to lose 60lbs. My intake of cals is 1230.

I've just started NROLFW. It's a good thing I have a sense of humour...lol gotta laugh at myself. I would love to have someone video tape my work out just so I can looking at it a month down the road...omgoodness

The food part is my biggest issue. I hate eating, which was biggest part of the reason for such a gain, so my doc says. I eat all the time now, little things, fruits nuts veggies all day... its' the meals I'm not finding easy.

I get up at 2:30am to go work out before work. What does one have for a breakfast mean that early and that is quick and simple and then another around 8. I was going to Timmy's and getting a breakfast sandwich which apparently is a big NO, but it's so simple...

Hi, I am a almost 39 year old mom of 5. I am in menopause due to a hysterectomy and have a very high stress life.I have been eating 1400 calories a day but I thinking about cutting down to the 1300 and eventually 1200. I used to eat close to 4000 a day so working down to 1400 has been a challenge. I am not near as hungry as I used to be though. I think I could do the 1300 for a while and then 1200. I have lost 9 lbs so far and need to lose another 45 lbs.

I'm 5'4" tall

Well im taking 1200 a day myself but Im 4ft 10in so I dont need the extra calories to beign with when I was eating 1400 my wieght would not budge.Ill be 29 in a few days and I started this in jan 2013.I wanted to lose all the baby wieght after having my two daughters 19 months apart .I wieghed 150 on Jan 1st and now Im 140.I feel better already,II have a way to go but I know I can do it.My oldest will be 3 aug 10th and my youngest a year old march 9th so coming soon.

I had Gestational diabetes during my last pregnancy because of my wieght,I managed it with diet and only at the end did I take a pill to help.I gained 11lbs while pregnant and lost it right after I had my 8 lbs 6oz baby.

They told me my chances of having diabetes later in life was increased by 30% .I dont want that to happen I need to be healthy before children I was not even close to being over wieght.

I know I can do this Im aware it will take time but its worth it.

I'm new to the group. I've been experimenting with different calorie levels but finally decided to accept MFPs target of 1200 and eat back all my exercise calories. Would love to have some new friends from the group. Feel free to add me

Hi! I am new to the group and looking for support too! I eat around 1200-1300 cal a day! I am 5'4" and 170 pounds and I'm trying to get down to 130. If you wanna make friends that would be great, just let me know you are from this group!!!

I'm new to the group. I recently started working with a nutritionist and eating 1250 calories while exercising (walking, yoga, running, weight lifting.) I seem to be awesome from 7:00am-5:00pm

This is my first time slowly losing weight and find it sometimes disheartening.
