Calories burned from Exercise:

Daily Calories: Was at 1250 but last week upped it to 1500 (maintenance was 1480). Eventually I will be starting P90X and upped my calories for that. Still losing!
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 123.4 (as of this morning!)
Calories burned: 300-500 3-4 days per week.

Looks like we got some more underweight people. Don't know why anyone would think underweight is healthy. You're not getting your nutrients eating less than 1200 calories so most likely with aerobic exercise you are losing muscle not fat (your body doesn't have enough to spare). And the ones eating less than 1200 are already underweight. Enjoy your muscle loss!

Daily Calories: 1,560 but i only consume 800
Height: 5'7
Current Weight: 245
Calories burned from Exercise: 500

Surely only consuming 800 calories in a day is not in anyway good for you??? MFP recommends a minimum of 1200 and i hav always heard you shouldxn't dip below this or your body goes into starvation mood?
Plus, your exercising,. so you should be eating some of those back too honey xx

This is so true. What you will lose is lean muscle mass and that is what your body needs to burn fat. In starvation mode your body holds onto fat and eats into your muscles for nutrients. Your metabolism also slows down due to the fact you aren't getting enough calories or nutrients. Then you will start gaining weight because your body is storing what you do take in. So if you are consuming 800 and burning 500 you are giving your body 300 calories per day which is called a Starvation Diet. Eventually your organs and systems will start shutting down to conserve energy.

I upped my calories to 1500 a week ago and I dropped another pound!

5'3, 119lbs goal is 1000. 1200 was just too much for me because my BMR was 1275.

Your BMR (according to MFP) is what your body would burn lying in bed in a comatose state. The moment you get up you are burning more. Stay above 1200 and read the links in my signature.

When you are already little (at a healthy weight) and you want to shed more fat then cardio won't quite do it. You need to lift weights! Muscles burn fat through the day.
My BMR is 1188 and I eat 1500 per day plus exercise calories and I'm losing.

I know the importance of not going into starvation mode. and I am far from it.
I had weight loss surgery. And mfp doesn't have a setting on here that lets me enter that in,. I'm only supposed to consume 800 calories a day. heck half the time i only get 500 in unless i'm naughty and eat pizza or canned goods. I can only eat 1/2 cup per meal.
I appreciate the concern. *hugs*

Wow. So you can only eat 500-800 per day but your body doesn't understand weight loss surgery. It is still thinking it should get more so Starvation Mode is still a possibility.

Daily Calories: As long as I'm under 2000, I'm happy. I know lots of people think this is too high, but I have to do what's right for me. Restriction and dieting has gotten me no where.

Height: 5' 8"

Current Weight: 261

Calories burned from Exercise: I don't really count these, but I average 4 - 4.5 hours of exercise a week.

I go for 1400-1500. A bit more if I have a particularly active day (in this weather & climate, that might mean walking 2 miles through the snow at negative Fahrenheit temperatures, or a gym workout). A little less if I'm having a particularly sedentary day.

CW: 181 lbs
GW: not sure - re-assessing when I'm in the 150s.
Height: 5'4"

My goal is 1200 cal/day, I am 5 foot 3, I weigh 169. I burn 350-600 calories a day and I don't eat them back if I can help it. I try to eat the 1200 calories and then excercise...so it looks like I'm below calorie goals, but I have eaten 1200 must days

Height: 5'11"
Current weight: 216.8lbs
MFP daily calorie goal: 1770
Exercise calories burned per day ranges from 400-700. And I don't usually eat them back. I have a high calorie goal and would be stuffing myself if I ate them. A couple times a month I will eat some of them.

Daily Calories: 1200
Height: 5 '4
Current Weight: 165ish (haven't weighed for a few days)
Calories burned from Exercise: not been exercising as of late. however my job is pretty active.

Daily Calories: 1350
Height: 5'6
Current Weight: 150
Calories burned from Exercise: 250-500

Daily Calories: 1345 plus at least half exercise calories
Height: 5'3"
Current Weight: 141
Calories burned from Exercise: 400-800 daily

My daily calories are set at 1500, I had to manually change it from MFP.

I'm 5'4"
Current Weight: 129-131
Daily Calorie burn is about 500-600 6x per week, with 200-300 on my rest day.

I'd still like to lose 7lbs and be at 123, but my size is a 0 and my body fat% is fairly low. I'll test next week, I'm guessing about 20% based upon the last caliper test. I'm set to eat about 2000 per day and usually end around 1500, I eat super healthy and eat all the time. I'm working on upping the protein. I eat dairy free and gluten free most day, which are both lower calories.

Just wanted to add - not sure if it makes a difference I'm "big boned". I'm not petite sized at all and most people don't think of me as small.
