    Hi, I'm 5'7", I eat at 1520 a day, muscle class twice a week, cardio three times a week (hopefully). I am losing about 3/4 lb every two weeks. Firming up and losing lbs slowly but surely. I am at 151, down to 149 as of today(!), under 150 for the first time in 5 years. Not for lack of trying!

    Very similiar! I'm 5'7 and 151 right now. Just want out of the 150's SO BAD. Losing slowly, lifting weights 3x/week and staying around 1500-1550 day.

    Congrats on the 149! Must feel great!!! :)

    Similar to you both! 5'7, 148lbs, eat around 1500 a day and do strength classes an cardio (running and spinning) 3-5 hrs a week.

    I net around 1500-1550, seems to be working. I may up it a bit to 1600-1650 if I plateau.

    1718 and my bmi is 32.9. Honestly I think its bs though because I wear a size 12 and I am 210lbs. I have some serious muscles going on under that layer of fat too. haha. I work out 6 days a week burning around 1000+ HRM calories a day.

    I still want to lose 40lbs to reach my first goal weight of 170. I should*** be in a size 8-10 jean then. :)

    You've gotta have a ton of muscle .. To fit into a size 12 at 210 pounds, that's amazing, lol I'm just under 200 and still can't get into a 14!

    See I am oppiste, I am 180 and can't even get into many 14's. It is all messurements and how you carry the weight and then muscle mass as well. I am almost 140lbs of Lean Muscle, so sizes really do not say that much. Body Fat + Messurements matter more for this type of thing.

    But to the OP. Anything below your BMR really is not a great long term goal.

    It is all on how you are shaped because I am 5'6 about almost 5'7 (my doc always puts 5'7 :) ) and I am a size 12 and I weigh 178lbs. Its all realtive. I have no hips, a little butt, I have been told I thighs my girlfriends would kill for but I have tummy. My upper body is broad hence my size. I eat about 1500 a day (nI generally go over anywhere between 50-200 calories) I work out on ellyptical 3 days a week (40 minutes a day) and hit a trainer on Saturdays for strenght and endurance.
