    I'm 5'7"
    SW/HW: 210
    CW: 162
    GW: 154 (At the moment, I might change to 147 once I have reached this; I have 161 still in MFP so I suppose I should update that)
    LW: Now (unless you count my v first time trying to lose weight but I would've been about 2/3" shorter..... 135)
    Calorie Intake: MFP advises 1200/day so I now use my FitBit/exercise calories, but not usually all of them, I try to stay below 1500

    GW: Right now, 160. And then I'd love to at least get to 150. I will re-evaluate as I go along.

    Right now I am running/Couch to 5K 3 x week, with walks, yard work mixed in.
    My eating is set around 1450 calories per day. If I exercise, I eat more.

    CW - 148
    HW - 150
    LW - 134 (people told me I looked gaunt, so...)
    GW - 138

    I run 2x/wk. I do group cardio 2-3x/wk. I recently got a Misfit Flash, so I've been walking at lunch (usually 1-2 miles). My intake is 1250, and I usually try to stay right around there (eating back exercise). But I'm admittedly lenient with myself about little cheats here and there...which probably explains why I've been in a plateau for months :-)

    I am 5'7. I started at 194lb last year, and have now reached goal weight of 140lb. I don't want to lose any more weight as I am trying to build muscle and don't want any more loose skin. I am 51 and do heavy work plus I lift weights. I maintain on about 2000 a day. I am aiming to be muscular and strong, not thin. I have been a vegetarian for 30 years.

    HW 180 *post pregnancy
    GW n/a

    My original goal weight was 140. I worked cardio everyday and ate next to nothing. I did not see definition or toned muscles and I was weak all the time. This plan lasted 3mos.

    Started lifting heavy weights 3x week and swapped the cardio to HIIT 2x week about 5years ago. I went from 143lbs and a size 10 w/29% body fat to 150lbs, size 6-8 and 20% body fat. I currently eat an avg. of 2000kcal daily.

    I lift weights 5 days a week, run 3 days a week, and walk 45mins monday-friday (to and from work)
    I'm currently eating 1850 calories/day and losing about a pound per week, so I may drop down to 1650.

    I don't know how some of you survive on 1200-1300 cals/day!

    I love this question @weightBgonegone :) I've been wanting to know the same!

    I'm 5'8''

    SW: 184
    CW: 160.6
    CW: 144 (1st goal, but I've been thinking more of 125-135 range)

    I do bootcamp for one hour twice a week (mix of cardio and strength) and run 2-3 times per week. My calorie intake varies depending on how much I exercise per week but its between 1300-1700. I'm always trying to find that magic number and it proves to be difficult! Gave up the scale on 6/1 :)

    I was at my goal in September but then the stress of school got to me :/
    I workout 5-6 days a week and usually alternate between running and going to the gym (and sometimes swimming) :) I eat 1200 cals a day.

    Great conversation, as we are all so different!

    GW: 180

    My lowest adult weight was about 160, and looking back, I actually looked a bit too thin. But, I am very large framed, and have heavy muscling and curves! I am just now coming down off my highest weight ever. I gained about 30 pounds after knee surgery a few months ago. I am currently doing a medically supervised meal replacement program. My goal for this 20 week program is to lose 60 pounds. When I hit my goal weight, I will re-evaluate my goals. Currently, I play roller derby 2-3X/week for about 2 hours at a time. I also have been trying to get back into the routine of walking the dogs and getting to the gym. I love lifting, so plan to get back to that soon.

    GW: 160

    I have a feeling from where I am now that after I get to 160 I will want to lower that a bit. I think my sweet spot will be around 150 but I'm really not sure because I haven't weighed under what I am now since I passed it in High School.

    My base calories are 1200 a day. I work out 6-7 times a week (usually 1 or 2 days I just walk the treadmill or elliptical for an hour as my "active rest" type days). Because I broke my hand a couple months ago I am just now starting to incorporate light weights back in so mostly I do the elliptical or treadmill. I switch it up between manual setting and the preloaded programs (weight loss and interval are my favorite) and kick up the resistance. I generally take off 50 calories for every 200 the machine says I burned (if it says I burned 500, I log it as 400) and then try not to eat all those back. Generally I'm eating about 1500 calories a day on the days that I really work it at the gym.

    I'm 5'7''
    Starting Weight: 209
    Current Weight: 189
    Goal Weight: 140-145, I think. It's hard to know when I'm this far out, but I'll reevaluate as I go.

    I try to eat 1200 - 1400 calories per day. Not doing a lot of exercise yet, just taking walks to try to get to 10,000 steps on my fitbit every day. I'm impressed by how active everyone else is! I need to step up my game!

    I'm 5'7"

    CW: 178 lbs
    HW: 245 lbs
    GW: I don't really care. Just what I weigh when I like what I see naked.
    LW: 150 lbs when I was in high school?

    I'm in better shape now than I was in high school. My pants size is a 10-12.
    Right now, I'm in maintenance to meet my lifting goals, so MFP sets it at 1900 calories per day before exercise. I predominantly lift heavy with very minimal cardio. VERY minimal.
