    5'2", 1200 a day, age 52, 50 minutes of moderate cardio 5 days a week, no weights. Typically don't eat back exercise calories. Once I put in my garden (strenuous stuff), I'm hopeful the last few pounds will come off more quickly.

    I'm 5'1" and pretty new here so this thread is awesome and helpful for me. I weigh 198, and I've lost 10 so far eating 1200 calories per day. If any of you wants to add me that would be awesome. It's very helpful to hear from other shorties :)

    I tend to eat between 1200 and 1600 calories per day. I workout for 1-1/2 to 2 hours per day doing weight training and heavy cardio. Usually, MFP has me at between 300-500 calories left for the day.

    5'2 and weigh in at 138 I am just starting out here.
    My calories are set at 1540 and I don't eat back my exercise calories. I do crossfit 5 days a week (I'm lifting very heavy) and the other two days I walk 4-5 miles. My weight goal is to get down to 112 that's where I felt my best and my clothes fit best.
    My problem is my thighs are getting huge and I don't want that. I wish it was my butt getting huge instead. I'm trying to focus on not using my quads so much and trying to squeeze my butt when lifting.

    losing weight at 1200 cals.
    3-5 hours a week of mostly cardio, some body weight exercises, eating back cca half of extra calories (which I take from scoobys webpage calculator - calories used by exercise, since the mfp database and my hrm monitor suck at estimating).

    I'm 5'3.5" and had been losing about a 1lb. a week on about 1700 for a few months, but I started to stall out this past month so I had to reassess and lowered my daily to 1625 and have started losing again. I do mostly cardio 3-5 days a week with a strength DVD once in a while.

    Edited to add: current weight 176 lb; starting weight 198 lb
