Calories....

hi, I weigh 156lbs, am 5'6" tall, eat about 1350 calories plus exercise calories, and I have lost 53 lbs so far :flowerforyou:

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 !

Female
5'7"
1290 Calories - sometimes I eat some exercise calories, just depends
Current: 172
Goal: 150

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.

5'6" I started off with 1230 calories then I changed my calories to 1400.
I started this in October with weight of 231 man I hate to even say that.
I am down 11pounds
Currently 220
Goal right now is 140.

I know that I will get there just going to take some time. :drinker: :drinker:

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:drinker:

i am 5ft 3 and i eat around 2050 calories a day .. i weigh 108 pounds . i workout for an hour a day 5 days a week . i love counting calories and have been doing it for a few years not because it lets me eat whatever i want and i dont have to feel guilty as long as it is in my range

I'm new to this site.

I'm a new mommy and I gaines 80 lbs during the pregnancy.
I'm 5'10 190 lbs and have at least 30 lbs to lose

I've been trying eveything and it seems at if my weight yoyos.

I've joined a gym and have been consistantly going 5 days a week for the past 3 weeks.

I consume about 1600 Cals a day
I strentgh train for about 60 mins a day and do CV exercite for about 20 mins a day.

The scale still hasn't moved, and I am going to measure myself again on the 24th to see if there's a difference.

:explode: Is it normal for the scale to stay the same??? it is sooo dicouraging

you must be really hungry that is not very many calories for what you weigh and what you do, do you eat your exercise calories. You should read these links about eating your exercise calories and other stuff, as well as calculating your BMR calorie level.
