    I'm in the same boat as you! This morning I weighed 140, I'd like to get down to 130. I'm taking it a little slower than you, with my goal being 1800 cal/day. Good luck! :smiley:

    How did you each choose 1500 / 1800 cals? Is that what MFP told you to eat or have you picked the number at random? How fast did you say you want to lose weight? If you're different heights / age, I'd expect you to be given different calories to eat.

    Read back through the pages on this forum and you'll find plenty of questions (and answers) on pretty much the same topic and the advice is always the same when you're down to the last 10 to 15 lbs - select a smaller weight loss goal, per week, and expect those last few pounds to take a while.

    Is your routine working for you @magic56500? I’m working on a similar goal.
