gw 112? I have no idea. Whatever feels right. I mostly just want to look athletic.
I'm a vegetarian that eats some fish (maybe once a week) so that makes things just a bit different. I recently changed my diet around to a very planned, protein focused diet. That being said, I eat 1000-1200ish calories a day. Under 1200 only on the days when I really can't fit any more in. I simply cannot eat my exercise calories it seems. Silly filling protein!
I exercise 6 days a week or so. no more than 30-60 min of cardio unless I'm feeling especially insane (went from not being able to run a mile my whole life to running 11 miles the other day in about 6 months! yay!) and, since my recent diet change, I've tried to incorporate more weight training. Seems to be working.0 -

Hi ladies, Iv'e been a member of MFP since 2010. I am posting my before and after pictures.
The last picture was taken a few days before my wedding on Feb 2011. After that everything went great except my weight. I gave birth last Dec 2011. During my delivery, I was 152 lbs. I went down to 136 after that. But suddenly the pounds came back. Below is my latest picture with my baby. He's 3 months now. SO after three months, it's now time to get out of this couch and start getting healthy again.
So wish me luck ladies.0 -
Hi Ladies!
I just found out I am 5'3, sounds silly but I always thought I was 5'5 .... I guess I just have a loud personality:P

I lost about 12-15 lbs (fluctuating always) on MFP since January, but I have been plateauing..ALOT. The scale is my worse enemy. I started off eating 1200 cals, then have bumped it up hoping it will help my plateau, it hasn't so far. My eating is pretty clean with exception of granola bars and 100 cal snacks (they are so convenient for a student!)I workout 6 days a week doing a combination of HIIT, Tabata and heavy lifting (its an athletic conditioning program). I recently got an HRM for my birthday so I know exactly what I burn per workout, I usually eat my exercise calories, but in light of my current lack of weight loss I have been considering only eating half. Any suggestions are more then welcome!!

ps. You guys rock! Congrats on the weight loss and BEST OF LUCK EVERYONE!0 -

I am set at 1200 cal and I usually eat my exercise calories back, unless I have a huge amount in one day and am not hungry. I was usually 135 at my "normal" weight in high school and pre-kids, but I have proven that it wasn't my "healthy" weight. My ultimate goal used to be 130 and now it is 110.
How long did it take for you to lose the weight you have lost? I am also 5'2", my starting weight was 179. So far it has taken me about 2 1/2 months to get down to 159 pounds. I'm just wondering because you started out with similar stats to mine.0 -

I started out eating 1450 calories plus most of my exercise calories. The smaller I get the more I eat. I am now eating around 1700 on non-workout days and 2000-2100 on workout days. Cardio as a 15 minute warm-up before New rules of lifting program and then cardio immediately following it for however long I am motivated (usually about 10-50minutes). I average around 4 days of working out a week.
I am trying to eat between 1400-1800 calories a day depending on my workout for the day, but my progress seems to be slowing down. I am doing the P90X program, so I am strength training 3 days a week, 1 day of Yoga, and 2 days cardio. How long did it take for you to drop your weight? I'm curious because you have a similar build, and I like that you are eating so much and still losing.0 -

I started in january and lost 11lbs but then I really plateaued at 150lbs. I was eating 1200cals a day and tried upping it a bit as everyone suggests, but there was no change, I even put back on 1lb. So I've now been eating around 1000 a day and have lost 3lbs. I exercise 6 days a week, playing sport twice a week and gym the other days and eat back the calories about half the time. I know everyone says you really shouldn't eat under 1200, and I've read lots of posts about it, but I've found it's the only way to get out of the plateau! Has anyone else had a similar experience? I was wondering as I'm short maybe I don't need to eat as many calories? I've also been focussing on the fat and making sure I'm under that, as in the past I've eaten 1200 a day but eaten bad foods with high fat content and didn't lose much.0 -

GW2: 50 lbs lost by July 10th (My 30th Birthday - a lofty goal, but not unattainable healthfully)
Ultimate Goal: Who freaking knows (I was 145 at 18, and in peak physical fitness - I maintain the BMI is horse****).
I'd be happy to add new friends who have similar stats or goals0 -
Age: 30
Height: 5'2"
Starting Weight: 134
Current Weight: 124
Goal Weight: 112
Calories: 1200/day (This is my aim but I don't feel the need to stick to it every single day. I sometimes I eat a lot more or a tiny bit less)
Exercise: I have been doing the 30 Day Shred workout and intend to move onto the other Jillian Michaels DVDs I have once I'm finished.
I sometimes eat all my exercise calories back and other times I only eat part back or none at all, it depends how I feel on the day. I do always aim to stay under my maintenance calories but I have had a couple of little blips.0 -

CW: 180
GW: I'd be happy at anywhere between 110-120
Calories: Between 1100-1200/day
Exercise: Don't ask... :noway: My lack of exercise has kept my weight loss progession slow, but I'm just struggling to find a physical activity I find enjoyable. I absolutely despise the gym (I find it boring and tedious), so if anyone has any good suggestions on exercise that doesn't feel like exercise, I would love your input!!0 -
