    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...
