    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 :)

I am still losing weight...still another 20-40 pounds to go, once at goal i will be working more on building muscle (altho i already strength train)

    I am 5'8"
    I currently weigh 146 pounds, which is the heaviest I have ever been
    My goal is 125 pounds and 16% body fat
    I run college cross country - which means that I workout 6 to 7 days a week. I am currently recovering from an injury, so I have not been burning as many calories.
    During the season I burn around 1,000 calories a day from running/swimming/doing core/lifting weights

    I consume about 1600-1800 calories a day and burn about 600-650 calories (5x week). I’m not concerned about weight; I’m concerned about body composition. My goal is to maintain my muscle mass but decrease body fat.

    5'7". Was 117 went I started last week, now am 116. Want to be 110....well, not necessarily, just lose some weight off of my thighs and a little off of my hips. That's where a decent amount of my fat seems to end up going...

    EDIT: Forgot to include other info, lol. I eat 1200 a day net. Work out a few days a week, burn around 500 each of those days.

    I'm eating ~1200 per day and usually try to burn at least 500 calories at the gym, going 6 days a week and doing mostly cardio (~45 minutes). I'm only on my third week so far. My first goal is to get down to 200lbs, after that, well, we'll see! I'm doing this not only to slim down and be healthier, but to help control digestive issues, and have more energy!

    I'm 27
    5'8
    Currently around 143
    Goal weight is around 135 but I'm more concerned about losing inches. 2-3 off the widest part of my bum :)
    I eat between 1300-1500 per day when being good and I'm currently doing the 30 day shred.

    I also walk everywhere, so I'm trying to incorporate even more walking.

    HW: 252
    CW: 207
    GW: 160s then reevaluate

    I'm eating between 1600 and 1700 cals a day and exercise 5 to 6 times a week with varying intensity and alternate days of cardio & circuit strength training. My TDEE seems to be averaging around 2400-2500 though this week its closer to 2600. Recently bought a BMF which has opened my eyes as to my actual burn (higher on active days than i realized and quite a lot lower on truly sedentary days). My goal is to lose around 1.5lbs a week for now, so my avg intake might need some adjusting here soon!

    Goals: feel healthier, have more endurance and I want to be a jogger/runner (eventually - right now I don't care to put the stress on my joints of my current weight). Also... patience. Forever needing patience :)

    SW: 155

    CW: 142.5

    GW: 135-ish

    My calorie goal is NET 1600. I usually burn between 300-500 each day, and eat it all back, so I eat around 2000 most days. I want to lose slowly so I can maintain easily. I am less concerned about the scale and more interested in being super fit. I am pretty stoked with my body at my current weight, which motivated me to try new activities.
    I do a lot of walking and biking to get around, and do mostly body-weight circuits and some free weights for strength around 3X week.

    Height - 5'9 Age 29

    Weight (starting) - 324

    Weight (current) - 288

    Weight (short term goal - by Feb 1) - 274

    Weight (long term goal - By June 2014) 174

    Cals - I'm currently set at 1570, for a 2 lb/wk weight loss per week,

    Honestly I haven't started exercising. I am seeing how much I can lose without exercising first.

    Weight 174 and to love myself physically

    Why are you waiting on the exercises???

    You've done a great job so far with losing weight. Now start doing some kind of exercise, strength training for muscles, walking, etc. It will help tighten up your muscles so you wont sag or have so much extra skin in the end.

    You are young!! Go for it!! It gets terrible after about 45 yrs old.

    25 Years Old
    5'7"
    138 lbs.

    I had a baby two and a half years ago and pre-pregnancy fluctuated from 125-130 lbs.
    I'm not looking to lose weight if I gain muscle. I definitely want to tighten up my stomach and bum the most!

    Eating 1300 calories, except on days when I workout, in which case an extra 100 or 200 calories.
    I'm doing the Bikini Body Mommy Challenge, which has been very doable for my fit level (not great!) and running (with two 60 minute walking intervals) a mile and a half. If I can't run on a day I'm "supposed to" according the the challenge (I'm sometimes home alone with the baby for 24 hours), I will do the workout I did the day before. I do something at least 6 days a week. The workout days are hard to track, but on days I run I burn around 300-400.

    I want to get thin enough so that if I gain ten pounds I wont have love handles and busting out of my clothes. I'm pretty trim at 160 but if I gain 5-10lbs my love handles get even bigger.

    Hopefully you don't have a big head like me so that you will be able to look "naturally thin"

    It only matters in formal wear, don't worry.

    Hi, I'm 25, 5'8 and currently weigh 145 pounds (uk dress size 10 top and 12 bottom).
    I started at 155 pounds and have been losing weight quite slowly. My aim is to 140pounds (eventually 136 to give me a bit of leeway) and a UK dress size 10. I exercise 4-5 times a week and burn between 300-600 calories depending on the day. My aim is 1200 cals and I usually eat back the majority of my exercise calories unless I'm saving them for a meal out or a special occasion.
