I am 138 and wanting to be 125-130. I try to find my favorite things in lighter versions. I eat a lot of greens, and a lot of mediterranean foods. I love soups as well0

It's honestly going to depend on how active you are what you can eat.
I'm 5'6 at 153 eating 1800 I don't eat back any exercise as I use a TDEE method and not the MFP one. I am netting probably around 1300-1600 depending on the day.0 -
5'6" and 201 currently. I eat pretty clean not 100% but I feel a lot better and I think it's helped me with cravings I should have had along the way.0

5'6" and 168. I was happy when I weighed 145/150 a couple years back. Although, I've definitely maintained more muscle this time around. We'll see.0

I'm 5ft 6 currently weigh 166 after losing 11lbs and am aiming for 133
PS I don't count calories I'm doing slimming world - no counting. I also occasionally fast for 24 hours (like today). I do log what I eat as I was curious how much I'd eat when not actually counting and it averages 1400 - 1600 per day and I'm comfortably losing 2lbs per week.0 -
im 5'6 160... I did weigh at one time 200 and no it wasnt muscle. I ate around 1900 cals per day at that time and did a 50/50 split of cardio and weights.0

I am 141.2 pounds.. Goal weight would like to be 130, but I would take 135 at a smaller size. I eat average 1400-1600 calories daily to lose very little at a time. I am more focused on strength training.0
-
I am 5'5 and 186. I exercise at least 5 days a week with at least 30 minutes cardio and 2 days total body morning exercise for about 15 minutes. I have started to exercise more but my appetite is off the chain so I eat a lot more and crave more sugar. How do you avoid this?0

However I am losing but not very fast because I do believe I don't have much to lose.0 -
I am 5,6' and currently weigh 202 pounds. My start weight was 220 at the beginning of October. My goal weight is anywhere between 150 and 160 depending on body fat %. Right now I eat in between 1400 and 1700 calories a day and I try to workout 5 to 6 times a week 30 to 60 minutes a time. I eat what I want in moderation but try my best to get as much protein and fibre in because it helps prevent binging. If I eat carbs I try to stick to whole grain and veggies but won't abstain from the occasional sandwich. I have lost steadily doing this and I feel this is a method I will be able to stick to and make a lifestyle.0

what an encouragement...I have started to exercise more but my appetite is off the chain so I eat a lot more and crave more sugar. How do you avoid this?
I would suggest more protein in your day and fiber.. eat fruits for the sugar craving0 -
I'm 5'4 and currently 192ish....dropped 12 lbs so far. I eat about 1700-2000 calories on my workout days and 1400 on my rest days. I workout 6 days a week for 30-60 minutes. I try to eat pretty healthy not to say that a cookie or something else won't make its way into my diary lol0

5'6 and now maintaining at 119-120. Started at 135. When I was consistently losing I averaged around 1400-1700 with some splurge days.0

I'm 5'5 and am currently 135lbs. I want to be 125.0

I'm 5'6(168 cm) at 132(60 kg), looking to get down to 123 lbs(56 kg). Once I reach that goal, I'm going to really really start focusing on toning my body; now it's mainly losing fat. (I know it's dumb but I'm putting off lifting for as long as I can because it scares me, haha!) I try and stay around 1400 calories a day, sometimes I eat back what I lose from exercise but usually I try not to. I'm a HUGE sucker for sweets, so staying away from them is very hard for me, but I really try to eat clean and healthy as much as possible0

I am 5'5 and overweight. I exercise at least 5 days a week with at least 30 minutes cardio and 2 days total body morning exercise for about 15 minutes. I have started to exercise more but my appetite is off the chain so I eat a lot more and crave more sugar. How do you avoid this?
For when you have those sweet cravings, try to find something really small but really sweet. Although it sounds odd, eating a few packets of sugar has actually stopped me from snacking before, because for a small amount of calories I get my sugar fix. or try eating a butterscotch or piece of gum or something like that, and at times when you know you snack a lot try to avoid the kitchen. Leave your house, go for a walk, something like that. Oh! Something that helps a lot is this trick. When you are hungry or want a snack, brush your teeth and set a timer for 15 minutes. If you still want it after the timer goes of, you can have it. Most of the time, you won't want it though!!0 -

I struggled with this when I first started...it just comes down to discipline and the occasional treat so you don't binge.0 -
I am 5'5.5" and currently about 136lbs and about 25%BF. I have my calories set at 1550 using TDEE-20%. I keep that high of a deficit b/c I dont entirely trust my calorie counting so I figure it averages out. I am going for 125-130lbs w/ 21-22%BF.
Would love some friends to help with these last 10lbs I have been fighting for nearly a year!0 -

I believe that cutting out complex carbs has helped diminish my sugar cravings.0 -
5'6", 161, aiming for 150-145. I avoid white carbs (bread, rice, potatoes), and load up on protein and veggies. Eggs for breakfast every day. I have blood sugar issues, so I have to eat something every few hours to avoid getting shaky. I eat too much sugar, which makes me want more sugar. I drink tea or coffee most days, but my blood sugar stays more even when I just don't use any caffeine at all.0
