    I have to do this in three stages to match my ticker:

    1. The first 60
    2. 5 years
    3. Don't know, didn't track it
    4. None
    5. Ditto, obviously (I ended up at about 35% body fat.)

    1. The next 25
    2. 1.5 years
    3. Netting 1200 (this really sucked, btw, and I ended up with serious issues related to undereating.)
    4. Six (all cardio)
    5. About 300 (About 27% BF)

    1. The last 15
    2. Six months
    3. Between 2000 and 2400 calories
    4. Six (lifting x 3, cardio x2, one active rest day)
    5. Don't track it now, but less than 300. (I started TDEE and my exercise is included in my calorie goal. I'm at about 18-19% BF now.)

    I now maintain at 2500-2600. The moral of my story is lift weights and eat enough to fuel that. :)

Im not trying to lose much more weight so I don't care if it takes several months. Still losing slowly at the moment and I'm happy with that.

    1) I have lost 25.5lbs
    2) 6 months (16lbs of it lost in the last 3 months)
    3) I have varied in my calories but I typically eat about 1200-1500 on the days I don't work out and 1500-2000 on the days I do

    1. 214
    2. 2 years (not done still have 60 to go)
    3. I can't tell you cause people get upset
    4. some weeks none, never a set amount of time but I lost the same weight each week no matter if I worked out or not.
    5. at my heaviest 8 to 900 right now only about 300 or so depending on what I do.

    On #3 yes I was eating low, but I was really heavy and needed to get the weight off faster than most. Now that my weight loss has slowed and I'm down to the last lbs I've upped my calories and I'm not concerned if I'm losing right now. I'm working on building up my calorie intake without gaining to much more before I start losing again.

    1. Pounds lost:
    2. How long it took:
    3. How many calories you were eating a day:
    4. How many days a week you worked out:
    5. How many calories did you burn during your workout:

    1. 82.5lbs (37.4kg) since I started my weight loss journey (Sep 12, 2012), 69lbs (31.3kg) since I started using MFP (Jan 1, 2013).

    2. 82.5lbs in 18 months.

    3. From 1.1.2013 to 28.2.2014 my intake has been 2178 cals on average and my net calories have been 1635 on average. I've eaten the most in April '13, about 2640 calories a day.

    4. I usually exercise 6-7 times a week, but there have been weeks when I haven't worked out at all (like in the middle of Feb) 'cause of health issues.

    5. 150-1000+ calories. My most insane exercise calorie burns were 6000-7000+ cals/week, but that was during the first half of 2013. This year my weekly exercise calorie burns have been between 708-2995, usually around 1500-2000.

    1. 51 pounds
    2. five and one half months
    3. 1200 most days. I have had days where I have overeaten but I just get back up and keep on going.
    4. Rarely. Most of my exercise is walking at work. I have started some weight lifting but only light weights right now.
    5. Not many 50-200 maybe? The only time I had more was when I was shoveling snow this winter...I hope that's done and that spring is soon here! lol
