    5'7"
    SW: 168
    CW: 163
    GW: 140
    Highest weight 170
    Lowest weight 130

    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!
    5'7"

    HW: 282

    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.

    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.

    I know our bodies are all different, but the last time I was at 180 I could wear a size 10. I think I'm okay with a higher GW...?

    I love to run and do yoga, and I lift because I should (but I don't love it).

    Unfortunately for me, I have a large frame (broad shoulders) and an inverted triangle body shape :( I see women heavier than me who have smaller waistlines lol. I work out 6-7 days per week. Cardio alternating with Cardio + Weight training. I do my best to burn at least 600 calories per day. It's not much but it works for me. I also stay within the 1000~1200 calories range as far as food goes.

    Slowly but surely :)

    I'm 5'6. My current weight 178. My goal weight is between 150-160. I like being on the thicker side and so does my husband so I don't want to lose too much. I'm trying to stick to 1200 calorie diet which is not working because I always go over my calories and I do cardio twice a week.

    i got down to 142, was hoping to maintain at 145... but 150 seems more realistic, considering my age, my hearty peasant stock and that I don't want to lead a life of complete deprivation.
    I'm finding maintenance way harder than losing... been tweaking it since 2012.

    Lowest weight 160. 40-45 minutes of cardio (treadmill, bike) 5 days a week. Also, machines in a circuit-type setting but nothing hard on my knees. Abs and arms and waist primarily. Sleep 6.5 to 7.5 hours every night.

    I need to get back into a routine exercise-wise. I went from doing 8 and 12 hr shifts to doing only 8 hr shifts so I've slacked off on my walking since I work 5 days a week now and usually only get one day off at a time before I have to go back to work. I'm a nurse on a busy floor so I do get 10k steps in on my work days since I am on the go so much. I just need to stop sleeping in and get up earlier to walk/run in the mornings (I work 3pm to 11pm). So badly I want to get out if the 200's...so close yet so far!

    I walk almost everyday but I like to add in some swimming or running occasionally. I do HIIT 3 times at least 3-5 times a week. My caloric intake is between 1200 and 1400 depending on if I am doing HIIT or not I will eat a little bit more.

    GW: was 140 but I ran out of steam trying to get there, lol
    CW: 142-145ish

    I'm maintaining on 2500-2700 calories per day. I lift heavy 2-3x/week and crossfit 3-5x/week. It's less about a weight and more about a look now.

    I only weigh myself monthly since I'm pregnant. I did get to goal and will be working on getting back there.

    Not doing much exercise right now, but I usually run 5-10km 3x per week.

    I am currently working our 5 days a week. I do 90 minutes of cardio (elliptical, StairMaster, Zumba) for 5 days and resistance & strength training 3 times per week. My calorie intake is to stay within the 1750 range that MFP recommends to lose 1 pound per week. I don't eat back any of my exercise calories on work out days. I wear sizes 6-8.

    CW:245.2
    GW:145-150 depends on how I feel and what my body will allow. I have a large bone frame so I might look sickly under 140.
    HW:258
    LW: 217
    EPD: 45-60 min of brisk walking around my neighborhood 4-5x a week. Soon to be incorporating strength training and some dance classes.
    CIPD: Depends, I don't necessarily log or count calories. I eat less than what I used to, stopped bingeing, and stop eating when my body feels done or I'll eat on saucer plates or half now, half later when I'm hungry again. I think it's around 1300-1400 calories a day depending on what I eat. The weight is falling off so it's working and I know for the rest of my life I don't/won't want to count every single calorie that goes into my mouth like some can.

    GW: 20% bodyfat

    Got to make a plug for lifting and muscle- I have weighed the same as this doing lots of cardio and eating 1500 calories, was a size 8/10 and didn't like my body. Right now I wear size 4/6 and I am confident enough to run around in booty shorts! I am trying to nail down my calories needs but seem to maintain at around 2300 and am trying to cut some fat at 1950. I do Crossfit 4-5 days per week and go on bike rides for fun and transportation. I do have to log what I eat, because I could easily eat 3000 cal per day if I don't. :blush:

    5ft 7, age 38. F, no kids.
    HW - 225 in my early 20s
    CW - 173(ish, bouning the same few pounds)
    GW1 - 170 (been trying for 4 years, this is as close as I've gotten)

    If I hit 170 I'm going to aim in 5lb increments. The lightest I've ever been was 149 when I was 24. I'm not sure my body will go that low again.
