I'm 5'6 and I was 154lbs before getting pregnant. I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant, and not sure what I weigh now lol. I was 154 and a UK size 12 (US8) in my profile pic.
I was eating around 1500-1600 calories a day and working out 5 or 6 times a week.0 -
I'm 5'6 and 165 today (hit my november weight goal!!). I've lost ten lbs now, five of those have been from using this my fitness pal app. I eat whatever I want, but small portions. But months ago I started working on my general diet and changing from eating fast food and drinking sodas to eating more healthy, eating at home more often, and drinking water. So my diet is small portions with home cooking, healthy frozen meals, and meals made entirely of snacks or salads. I still eat cookies and the occasional burger, but I am eating more healthy than I ever have, and that is a huge accomplishment for me.
But I did not start consistently losing weight by changing what I was eating because I was still eating too much. This app allows me to actually see the portion sizes I need to get the right amount of calories, and I'm loving it. My calorie goal is 1580 with a lightly active lifestyle. I don't really exercise much, but I walk 4-6 miles every day just doing life stuff.0 -
I'm still 169 and need to loss 35 lbs....0

I'm curious,how much do you weigh now & what are you eating to lose?
I am 5'6" and this morning I weighed 147. My long-term goal is 135, and my first interim goal is 145.
I am up to running about 20 miles a week.
I eat back most, but not all of my calories.0 -
WoW!! I'm the biggest one
I'm 5'4 1/2...I was 270 but i'm currently at 221. My goal weight is more than a lot of you guys which is 170. I weighed 170 before and loved the way I looked. I don't want to be super skinny I would like a little meat on my bones but i don't want to be fat. I eat a lot of fish, chicken, and veggies. Been working for me so far.0 -
I lost my weight by eating at a slight deficit and by eating anything and everything I want. I am not a believer in food 'no no's' everything in moderation or excess. i am strong and fit at 5'6.5" and 156#. i eat about 3000-3500 or more. i have a very physical job and exercise 3-5 days a week I ate 2300-2800 to lose and ate most of my exercise cals back0

I'm 5'6
Starting weight was 138. It's taken 3 months to slowly reduce to 126 today.
I'm on 1280 calories per day. I eat pretty much every food type I like but smaller portions.
Before having children I was 118 and would like to achieve that in a few months time.0 -
I'm 5'4" and 155 lbs, however when I created my profile I selected sedentary as I have a desk job, and that only gave me 1200 cals a day, which I find impossible to stick to even when I eat mostly lean proteins and limit my sugar.
It tells me it will take me months to reach my 125lb goal, so I'm not sure what calorie count I should be sticking with
. I run a few times a week, burning between 200-300 cals, and play hockey 2-3 times a week.
Can anyone offer insight as to what calorie count I should be going by to lose about 1-2 lbs a week?0 -
im 5'6" 235 but I think my goal weight is going to be a little higher considering I am a male haha although I am curious as well for more males opinons on this topic as well0

I'm 5'6 and am 130 today and my current goal is 120. I've started working out a few times a week, my goal is 4 times/week for about an hour. I've been eating about 1080 calls a day. I'm realizing(?) that is too low. Its also hard to gauge my activity level because it changes a lot from day to day.
Edensienna: Do you eat 1280 cal a day, or net that?0 -
I'm 5'8 and currently weighting in at 150lb-ish
but I've been in the 135lb area to compete in particular sports
I lost tons of weights by doing workouts that kept my core hot and provided afterburn effect. OH..and drank lots of water..other than that, I was still pigging out..foods like fries and burgers..but that's just me.0 -
I'm 5,6" and want to be 140lbs. Currently running three times a week, yoga and sometimes add in work out routine. Have found eating low carbs is helping shift weight.0

I'm 5'6" and 170 pds. SW was 202. First goal is 160.....but really I don't want to go any lower for a couple reasons. I'm the type who is always going to have to work to stay in a range I want, realistically I don't think I would be able to maintain any less. Second of all I LOVE my boobs, I've already lost some and prefer not to have them disappear (my bf also feels this way). I just wanna be at a point where I can sit comfortably, be in my healthy BMI range, AND feel good about myself. Kudos to those who wanna be 120 pds but the last time I was 120 I was 12 and I was scrawny!!! Looks as though I'm the only one NOT wanting to be under 140! To each their own though!0

I had the same problem I have Pcos and Hoshimotos. I have found that drinking water infused with apple and cinnamon sticks help with sugar levels (pcos). You can only drink the water for 3 weeks and then off for 2 but it helps shock your metabolism. I am 5'5 and started out at 250 on August and as of today I have lost 54 pounds0

I'm 5'4.5" and am happily staying at 150lb. I'm a 49 year old size 8 and that is ok with me! We follow a heart healthy diet, here. Low cholesterol and low salt. This is going to sound terrible - but I lost 34 with minimal exercise- as I had surgery and was recovering for quite a while. But now that I'm at my goal I'm back to being very active and hitting the gym as much as I can.0

I'm 5' 4" and currently around 123 lbs. I would like to be 105 lbs. I started at 136 lbs, lost a few pounds on my own, and started using MFP when I was 132 lbs. I've decreased my portion sizes and rice intake dramatically; that's basically it. I don't have much time to exercise (being an art student does that), but I've been controlling my calorie intake to around 1200 - 1400 daily. It's been super slow business though0
