I'm 5'9 and a half, my goal weight is 155, anywhere between 150 and 155, I feel I look my best. My body does not seem to want to go below that number.

Feel free to add me! I"m set at 1830 + exercise cals.

I'm not very hungry in the morning, but I do make myself eat breakfast and a morning snack. I usually have 400 calories before lunch time. I am most hungry mid day and early afternoon.

We spend from $500 - $600, for a family of four. My boys are young 3 and 5. And I do A LOT of couponing! I probably save us around $150 - $200 a month. This is does not include eating out, I really wish we could cut back on that.

same here..no 5am for me....ever

I'm in the exact same situation. I've been out of work for 9 months, about to go back next Monday. I am very worried! I am not a morning person, I hope I can find the time and energy to exercise in the evenings

I'll send you a friend request :) I am very close to maintenance.

I'm 5'9, feel free to add me ladies!

Geez...you guys were some large shoes! I wear an 8.5, guess that's pretty small for a tall chick (5'9)

Ha,ha! I am exactly THIS, 2lbs away with the same build :smile:

That is one amazing transformation! you look awesome :wink:

2 very stubborn lbs :smile:

What are your macros set at? carbs/fat/protein Most people will tell you to do 40/30/30 I think the MFP default gives you 50/25/25, which may be why you aren't allowed a lot of fat in your day.

Congrats girl! You are doing wonderful and losing weight the right way! :)

Male or Female - F Age - 35 Height - 5'9 Current weight - 158 Goal weight - 155 Number of calories you eat - between 1700 & 1850 Number of calories you NET - I use the TDEE method, currently minus 10%. I don't eat back my exercise cals or track net. Number of calories you typically burn each day for exercise - around 300…

Feel free to add me!

I'm 5'9, currently 158, start weight 184. My goal is 155, give or take a few lbs. I am more concerned with getting my BF% down a little lower and build muscle/lose fat, sitting around 26% right now.

I'm taking 175 mcg of Synthroid, keep in mind I do not have a thyroid gland at all.

Pretty low for most 5'9 women as well ;) I'm 5'9, medium frame, goal weight 155.

I love Lucky jeans, but can't really afford them, so it's usually Old Navy. I bought a couple pairs of the boot cut diva for about $20 a pop, after discounts. They have longs, but they are not super long, about 34 inch inseam, which is ok for me at 5'9.

Definitely not VLCD. I started out around 1550, increased to 1610, then 1750, now 1850... As I have gotten closer to my goal. I have lost 26 lbs and only have 3 to go. That's why I am doing TDEE minus 10% I was just curious if I should be eating more than the 1850 because I am doing strength training now, I have only been…

Me too! I'll send you a friend request :)

I'm 5'9, currently 159, I am in a size 8 ( a little loose), I used to be a tight 12!

I'm 5'9, currently eating 1750. I do the TDEE minus 15% method, but I plan to increase my cals to TDEE minus 10% shortly (about 1840 cals), as I am very close to my goal weight.

Hi! I'll send you a friend request. I have had my thyroid removed due to thyroid cancer (about 14 years ago). I have been successful with weight loss! :) 4lbs till goal

I prefer the gym. It forces me to burn more calories and work out longer than I actually want to (i.e well, I'm already here, might as well hop on that bike). I've never been a group fitness person and don't dig classes. Although, it has crossed my mind recently to try one.

I'm 5'9, I feel most comfortable in the 150s, anywhere from 150-159. I am 159 now...woo hoo!

This is incorrect. Your medication will be your sole source of thyroid hormone, but your levels will still fluctuate and should be checked every six months. You levels can fluctuate do to weight change, pregnancy, hormones. etc....I have had mine adjusted many times

It takes a WHILE to get your thyroid regulated. I'm not going to sugar coat, it can take years. But there is hope. I was diagnosed 14 years ago. I have had two healthy pregnancies and two beautifully babies. I have been successfully at weight loss 2 times (25-30 lbs) once in my twenties and RIGHT NOW! I'm no spring…

I like the taste and it's low cal compared to a cup of milk. Easy way to cut some calories.
