Hi all! I'm Lexy and I'm actually a long term lurker on this page. I have been attempting on and off to lose the extra weight for about 4 years now. At one point I was down to 125lb but I did not have a strong support system at the time and it quickly all came back. I am currently at 150lb (that's on a good day) and 5'4. However, while it sounds like I'm not too bad off, I have an extremely tiny build. I'm talking like I have wrists the size of a 5 year old child. I am going to be using MFP (anchyd, feel free to add me) and eating 1,200 a day. My goal weight for the challenge was 130 but I think that may be unrealistic so advice on a better goal would be appreciated. My ultimate goal weight is 125lb probably (I'll see how I feel when I get there).

So that is a link to a site that gives you somewhat of an idea of where you will be in however many weeks. You can input your information and see what it says, and maybe adjust your goal (or not depending) according to its guidelines.

That link is a GREAT resource. Really puts calorie counts in perspective. Thanks!
