123 lbs
-What are you now?

-How many calories/day do you consume?
I'm weening myself off the counting. I usually do well at 1400 on days I do nothing, and go up from there. I am now basing my nutrition on what foods I put in my mouth, not the caloric values. Raw fruit and veg as often as possible, whole foods, home cooking/grown and vegan at all times possible.
-When did you start your weight loss journey?
2010! The year I graduated from Animation school, and the year I felt the worst in my own skin. It's been a slow road, but an important one. As I dealt with the demons within first (so to speak) before being able to focus on weight.0 -
I started at 303.
My goal weight is 175 (I think).
I'm at 190 currently.
I eat 1680 calories a day as a base + I eat back my exercise calories.
I originally started about 4 years ago maybe, but I plateaued for like 2 years at 215. I seriously start again about 4 months ago.0 -

I'm trying to get an idea of how different diets affect different people. So here's a little survey!
-What was your starting weight?
-What's your target?
-What are you now?
-How many calories/day do you consume?
-When did you start your weight loss journey?
I started at 212 at about Eastertime. My target is about 150 and currently I am 202. My calories I am still trying to figure out, I'm eating 1200 now but have raised that from 1000 and will likely increase it again to prevent troubles down the road (I like losing the weight fast but not at the risk that I could damage my metabolism later).
-What was your starting weight? 183
-What's your target? 130, Though this is based on the lowest weight I've ever been but I didn't have as much muscle then so probably 135ish
-What are you now? 153 (as of this week!)
-How many calories/day do you consume? Net 1200 is my goal. The workouts I do burn 500-700 calories in 45 minutes to an hour and I walk to work/to get groceries etc. I actually eat about 1500-1700 a day. I'd say half the time I'm right at 1200 and the other half I'm at about 800-1000 net.
-When did you start your weight loss journey? August 2012 I started eating better, starting October 2012 I became much more committed to eating better as well as working out.
If you're looking for something intense and are really ready to getting your @ss in gear I'd highly recommend the Insanity workouts. When I lost weight when I was in high school I ate really well plus did the Winsor Pilates program and had great results as well. I get overheated really easily and being sweaty didn't appeal to me at the time. Now I say bring it on - but whatever your preference is, I like both programs a lot!0 -

-How many calories/day do you consume? 1800, do not eat back exercise calories (just changed this week from 1200/day and eating back calories burned because I'm stuck, not able to lose that 10 lbs, so am now following TDEE advice given here on the boards)

-When did you start your weight loss journey? May 31, 20120 -
I started around September at around 300 some odd pounds (not sure of how much over 300 I was) & now I'm around 218.
When I first started out I put to lose two pounds a week, but I found that the calories I had for the day left me extremely ravenous at work. I now have it set to only lose a pound per week & net anywhere from 1500-1900 calories a day depending on exercise.
My main target right now is around 160 depending on how I feel when I reach there.0 -
