    Even better 120

    Calories: My goal is 1200 per day. If I exercise (always do) and I'm hungry, I will eat more but I don't go over what I've earned.
    I started MFP mid Jan this year and I've lost 10lbs this way.

    Exercise: Right now all I'm doing is walking. 4-7 miles daily, at whatever speed I feel like doing. I started doing that on Christmas Eve and I've lost 13 lbs since then. I started out with 30 minutes at 1.5 mph and now I usually walk at 3.5. Now I can run if I want, but I don't want to. lol

    Height 5'4" (hope that's okay...)
    SW: 175
    CW: 174
    GW: 150 (At least; if I could lose more that would be fantastic)

    When I started MFP I was eating anywhere from 1700-2000 a day. I lose 0 pounds, and I think I even gained a pound or two. Frustration set in, so I began training with a friend who is a personal trainer/nutritionist about a week ago. Since then, I've reduced my calories so that I eat 12-1400 on non-workout days, 14-1700 on workout days, and 1900 if I work out twice in one day. Also changed some foods; I've been eating WAY more veggies, and every morning I have a protein shake with coconut oil to help my metabolism. I also changed to sprouted grains for my carbs.

    After these changes, I've already lost one pound! It's not a lot, but to actually see a change on the scale was amazing!

    SW: 118 lbs
    CW: 113 lbs
    GW: Somewhere between 105 and 110.

    I'm at 1250 calories/day but I eat back most of my exercise calories.

    Exercises: Walking or biking to and from work (1 mile each way, 5x a week), walking the dogs 20-40 minutes a day, Bikram or Kundalini yoga a couple times a week, more walking, swimming laps once every week or two, and more walking. I live in an urban environment, so it's easy for me to accumulate a hour or more of walking just with normal daily activities.

    I've just started this about mid January and it's made it really easy for me to stick to. I've never had a huge weight problem..nothing more than maybe 30 pounds overweight which is of course 30 pounds too much so I've never really tried to lose it and keep it off. I've lost it before and kept it off for a year and a half but then life and kids and whatnot happened. :) Now I'm soon to be 40...in Nov...and I've decided now is a good a time as any to get my butt in shape! :)

    5' 2"
    SW--164.3
    CW--152.4
    GW--140 by Mid June and 130 by Nov

    I pretty much stay within my 1200 daily calories and try to eat the healthiest option I can. Water only..pop and stuff isn't hard for me to go without. I try to do an hour of cardio 7 days a week..walk a 35 min 2 mile walk when I can and just get out and play with my kids..my son plays soccer so mostly just getting out with him and kicking the soccer ball. I do all my exercise at home. I have a Wii with Wii Fit Plus..My Fitness Coach..Zumba Fitness and with the Xbox I'll do some Kinect or play my Biggest Loser Weight Loss Challenge. That's pretty much it. I do eat back my exercise calories tho. :)

    I eat anywhere from 1500-1700 calories a day. When I exercise more I eat more. And yes, I eat my exercise calories. This is a lifestyle change. I will not starve myself nor deny myself anything I really want. Everything in moderation. I truly never thought I'd ever wear a size 2!!!

    I'm on a 1200 calorie diet, it's gets a little hard to stay in track because of my schedule, but I try not to carry any money with me, so I don't end up indulging on the unhealthy things on campus! I would really like to 36-34-36. Both my my mom and grandmother had hourglass shapes most of their lives and I'm striving for that figure :)

    I am just shy of 5'3" with a large frame, curves and all. I would love to get down to around 160ish but for right now anything under 200 would be great. I had gastric bypass about 8 years ago and gained all my weight back. I can't eat certain things because of the surgery but I also don't lose weight anymore. It's been a huge struggle for me over the past several years and now I'm just trying my best and what ever happens happens. I'm no longer going in with an idea of what I'm supposed to look like or who I'm supposed to be cause I'm already me. Good Luck and thanks for the post :flowerforyou:

    MFP has me on a 1900 cal diet

    Thanks for the question - It's good to see what everyone is aiming for. My taller friends act shocked that I'm aiming for 125, & I keep reminding them that I'm short!

    I stick with 1200 calories. I attempt to workout 6 times/week. I don't always eat my exercise calories. It depends on the day. If I'm having a hungry day, I eat them. If I'm doing fine without them, I don't.
