    5'4.5"
    HW: 260 lbs
    CW: 132-134 lbs
    GW: 130 (maybe 122 or anywhere in between 122-130)
    Average Total Intake: 1800-2000 calories per day
    MFP NET Goal has changed from NET 1500 to NET 1390 (set for 1lb per week loss)

    I lift 3 x a week (ICF 5x5) and do cardio 2-3 x a week.
    I also aim to hit 10,000+ steps everyday.
    I would love to be able to deadlift 1.5 x my body weight and to squat my body weight. I also want to be able to run a 5k, but I have put my running on hold for the moment to see if my lifts improve (still doing cardio, just lower impact cardio).

    I do cardio 6 times a week and weight training once a week. My "rest day" I still do something, just not hard on my body so I do zumba. I eat 1200 cals a day unless my body needs more (which you should listen to your body)

    CW: 179.6 lbs
    GW: 125 lbs
    Total loss: 35.4 lbs

    I exercise to a YouTube video 4-5 times a week for 30 or more minutes and sometimes I do 15 minutes of cardio at night when I feel extra energetic. I rest on Saturday and Sunday but sometimes will do some light stretching/cardio. I eat 1200 calories and sometimes I eat more, just depends on how I feel. I allow myself one day where I eat up to my TDEE. :)

    I don't track my calories. I am probably considered fairly active. I live in the city with no car and range from 8k-20+k steps a day (average 17k). I jog three days per week, and do home exercise videos regularly. I also do some easy yoga/stretching.

    I eat 1400-1500 calories most days but I no longer log my food so that is a guess. I do at least 30 minutes of running 3-4 days a week and either weights, do lower intensity cardio, or yoga once a week.

    cw: 139 lbs.
    gw: 130 lbs. or less

    I work out 5x a week: doing SL (heavy) weight programs 3x a week, and run/cardio 3x a week. My calories intake is about 1500 calories a day to see a loss. Unfortunately, I have a bad habit of going over that hence my gains.

    CW:148
    GW:130

    I Weight lift about 4 times a week and do cardio 2 days a week. I eat anywhere from 1300-1500 calories a day. I am still waiting for the scale to start going in a downward fashion. Though I just started taking weight lifting serious and still learning about recomp. So I must remember to be very patient with myself. That is the toughest thing to do for myself is to be patient, as I have none.

    CW: 147lbs
    GW: 140lbs (goal is actually to be 20-24% body fat) so not really that strict on goal weight.

    My calories per day is 1380, but set at sedentary. I am not really sedentary, but I tend to overeat so I want to keep that allowable number low. I also don't set exercise calories in, so it kind of evens out. :smiley:

    I'm currently 121 and my stomach sticks out and my thighs and butt sag, so that is not a good weight for me. When I weighed 110, I looked good without all that, so that's my goal weight.

    I'm 5'4
    SW 138 lbs
    CW 121 lbs
    GW 110 lbs

    GW 116

    I aim for 1500 total a day but usually average between 1600-1800. Losing slowly. Very sedentary job. Walk a mile a day and lift heavy weights twice a week. Try to get at least 90g of protein a day to keep lean muscle mass! All cardio and low protein diet seemed to make me flabby! I've noticed great changes since lifting and eating more protein. Did a great job at reducing cellulite!

    HW- um 135 I think? I was on the swim team and had some serious boulder shoulders going on haaaaa

    CW- 120
    GW- 112
    I am currently trying to track my calories via IIFYM...becuase my protein intake was in the sh**er. Before that I was averaging 30-50 g of protein but still getting my calorie requirements in in the form of alcohol.
    I lift 3-5 days a week, depending on what program I decide to follow. I also do cardio 6 days a week, I am training for a metric century, a 7 mile mud course somewhere I do not know of....and a 10 mile race.

    CW 154.5 lbs
    I recently changed my calorie goal to 1440 to lose .5 lb per week.
    GW around 125 lbs

    I usually consume between 1200 and 1600 calories.

    Wouldn't lie, it would be nice to go down a bit more in weight (original goal was 125), but now I'm a lot more focused on visuals. I am judging it by how I feel and how much fat vs. muscle I have.

    I lift heavy every weekday, two of those days I incorporate either a HIIT treadmill circuit or a PLYOS circuit, around 3 days I will add in some specific exercises that target the abs.

    Honestly, I'm no longer scrutinizing the scale and am focusing on BF% (currently 22.1) and half marathon training. I run 25 - 35 miles per week and maintain on 2200 - 2500 calories daily.

    My calorie intake is 1470. I jog/do basic weightlifting 3x per week and do very simple walking 5x a week (literally my lunch break I go on a 20-30 min walk around the area with a coworker). I don't often eat back my calories. If I do, it's about 25-50% of what I log.

    My calorie intake is about 1000-1200 per day, I go on the treadmill for about 15 min, then I do the stationary bike, and I walk my dogs for about 30 min per day. I just started on this, I would like to lose about 15 lbs in about 2 months, I wanna join the Navy, I just need to lose a little weight, I'm just like 4 lbs overweight.

    GW 115 (Just hit it Monday! Woot!)

    My calorie goal is 1340. I'm recovering from surgery so exercise is on hold till end of August, but when I was actively exercising, I lifted 3X per week and did variations of cardio 5-6 X per week. When I resume, I'll keep my weight lifting schedule, but scale back cardio to probably 3 X per week. As far as eating back exercise calories, I probably ate back on average 25%, if at all.

    GW part 1- 189
    GW part 2 -135
    GW part 3 - to be determined.

    My calorie goal is 1200 plus I do eat back at least half of my exercise calories. Until I get to GW part 1. Once I get to my first goal I plan to increase to 1300 and lose at a bit of a slower rate.

    my cal goal is set to 1200, but almost always go over..so ends up being about 1300-1350. I've been losing so slowly though.. maybe a pound a month!? I'm very sedentary though, so I just need to work out a little more.
