    I'm 'lightly active' I guess? I run like 5/6 times a week and lift 3. I've gotten a little lax about these last 10 lbs, so these days I cycle my calories based on how hungry I am. Some days I'll eat 2200cals, and others I might have 1300. I just try to keep to an overall deficit of around .5lbs a week.


    I've lost about 20lbs since May. I started out at 180-190lbs, but that was years ago. It's been a long journy, haha.

    I'm set to sedentary as I dont get enough steps in to be set above that. I'm on 1350 calories at the moment but do play about with it a bit, will be adding more cals slowly once I reach my first goal weight (160) as I have more to lose after that...
    Weight loss; 40lbs since May.

    5'6" (1.68 metres)
    140# (63.5 ish kilos)
    39 years young
    Calories 1600-1700 max (still trying to lose a few kilos)

    I try to gym minimum 3 days/week (weights) - one day I do boxing and on the weekends I swim laps saturday mornings for 25 minutes (while my daughter is at her lesson, then we play for a bit) and am generally active over the weekend. If I don't gym I walk at least 45 mins. I SHOULD be weight lifting 4 days with the 1 day off boxing session but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way...

    Just want to feel healthy

    To help people, I must say you must eat 50-75% of your exercise calories back! You need to fuel your body!

    Otherwise you run the risk of:
    • crashing and burning
    • period loss (for women)
    • hair loss
    • fingernail loss
    • bingeing
    • yoyoing back to worse than before after hitting your goal.

    It's not worth it!

    Your MFP goal already lets you lose weight. It's dangerous and stupid to not eat the calories you're given.

    31 year old female, 5'6
    SW: 191 ibs (BMI of 30.9)
    CW: 151 ibs (BMI of 24.3)
    GW: 120 ibs (BMI of 19.3)

    As for Calories...
    I do alternate day fasting, so eat between 3-500 calories on fast days.
    On other days I eat to my BMR, so I ate closer to 1500 at the start of my weight loss and just over 1400 now. I try to meet my requirements for fats and protein on these days, and also take multivitamins on fasting days.

    I Began fasting in May, when I weighed 182 pounds. I've been fasting just over 20 weeks (5 months), and have lost around 1.5 ibs a week doing it.
