    I am sticking pretty well to the 1200-1300 calories (even when it says I can have more).

    If I get in 1 hour of cario it tells me I can have 1600-1700 calories.
    I exercise at night but I plan my exercise and meals the night before so I know what to stick to for food.
    If I don't make a plan the night before, I go over my daily allowance or don't put in enough cardio.

    I am 5'2" and weigh 165... that is down 5 lbs from my start weight of 170.
    My doc told me I needed to get down to 110lbs

    I started this site and my program on 9/28/08.

    I'm suppose to be eating just about 1400 cals. but I'm lucky If I make it to 1200
    I workout 5 to 6 days a week from 30 mins of Cardio and 60 to 70 mins of treadmill
    Then do some punch's for about 20 mins 3 days a week,

    When I over exercise and I have extra cals to eat, I don't eat those at all, I asked a trainer
    at my school gym and he said no you don't eat those at all, then you will not lose weight at all !

    Treadmill burning Cal anware from 500 to 600 depends on time
    Cardio about 500 to 700 from 25 to 30 min of cardio


    Lost of 3 lbs this week (weight check in) this morning !

    I'm 5'0 even and I'm 179
    Goal is 135

    I try and get my meals breakfast and lunch for the week and for dinner, I come home and cook
    light and I do not eat after 6pm

    I do not drink any soda what so ever, no sweets, I never really like soda,

    But I do love parting, drinking my cocktrails, and dinners, on fridays and Sat nites with friends, and dates!
    and that's whats been catching up with me !

    Work out at the gym 1 hour 3 times per week. Running and then going through the exercise machines.

    I joined MFP May 17, 2008 and have lost 22 pounds. It's been a slow road to lose 22 pounds. My body is not real helpful. :smile:

    I'm 5'8 and I eat 1350-1400 cals a day.
    I workout 5 times a week for about an hour each time- strength training on two of those days.
    I currently weigh 140. I want to just stay healthy. And lose about 3 lbs so I can have a little wiggle room for my goal of 140. I've lost around 30lbs since May.

    woo.

    I'm 5'3 ~ female

    I'm currently 200 pounds which is down about 8.5 pounds.
    I'm supposed to eat 1470 but bounce around either way. Some days I've overindulged other days I've gotten the warning that I'm not eating enough.
    It really depends on what my body tells me. I loath working out so I tend to follow behind my friends who walk up to the 9th floor of our building and I really enjoy getting into Wii Tennis, Boxing, Ski and Step Programs. It's gotta have some entertainment value or I can't do it.

    My goal weight is 145

    START WEIGHT 174
    Now 171.5
    Goal 135
    Exercise: 6 days a week, running 2 miles @5 miles per hour, squats after every 400 meter and bicep curls.
    Calories Eaten: Between 1430-1490 includes work outs.

    I have cut out soda, compeltely and now just drink ONLY water. I am also cutting down my sodium intake, because I love salt mainly sunflower seeds and it makes me swell pretty bad. I don't know what it is but I've already lost 2.5 pounds.

    Hi all,

    I am 5'7.5"

    174lbs, my goal weight is 154lbs by Christmas

    I eat on average about 1600 calories a day, this includes 500+ calories from excersice which is about 60 minutes of walking the dogs and 4 hours of housework.
    I do not always eat all my allocated daily calories.

    I joined this site in Mid October and have lost 5lbs to date ,weigh in is monday morning so should have dropped another 1.4lbs.

    I was very sceptical to start the program of counting calories suggested by my daughter-in-law but very happy that I did now.

    Thanks Meglamania and MFP:smile::drinker:
