    A little taller, at 5'4" and 197 lbs....
    I've been eating about 1400-1500 cals per day.
    Went from 260 lbs to 197 in about 4 months 1 week.
    No exercise, although I really should....but I just try and stay moving/active.

    5'0" 45 years old. 1200 net calories.. I am not 100% with my logging of foods but I also try and underestimate my exercise calories... 1200 sucks but when you are short that is how it goes.. I lose slowly but steadily.

    I'm 5'.0, age 37, and currently around 117 lbs. I seem to be losing around 1800-1900 cals/day. I've had a few days where I go over 2000. I exercise 6 days per week - running at least 3 miles at high intensity, well high for me - 8 minute miles.

    I started out around 122 lbs and peaked just above 123.

    The other day, after my run I weighed 114.8 - which I know was just water weight, but I just couldn't believe it... it makes me hopeful that I'll see that number soon if I keep up what I'm doing!

    5"3, weigh 137, down from 155, 13 days ago.

    Food Intake:
    I eat one meal daily, appx 700 calories, 90% fat to carb ratio.
    1 cup strong black coffee upon waking.
    Absolutely no Sugar. No artificial Sweeteners.
    My only fruits are Avocado, Red Pepper, Tomato and Cucumber. (Yes these are all technically botanical fruits.)

    Probiotics:
    I drink 1 gallon (18 cups) of water daily infused with 1/4 cup homemade Kombucha
    I eat 1/4 to 1//2 cup of whipped cream kefir daily

    Suppliments: Essential Fatty Acids
    2gr EPA 1gr DHA, 1.3 gr ALA, 250mg GLA
    this from oils: Anchovy, Sardine, Mackerel, Evening Primrose, Organic Flaxseed

    Intermittent Fasting:
    I intermittent fast anywhere from 18 - 24 hours every single day.
    18 hours is my goal but I don't eat until I'm actually hungry which is around 24 hours.

    Exercise
    I do 20 minutes of brisk walking on an empty stomach everyday and am slowing starting to add in some resistance training.

    Summary: This is not a long term diet. It is to get me down to my goal 115 lbs as quickly as possible. At that point I will consume between 1000-1200 calories daily. I will continue to take supplements, eat probiotics (but with raw sauerkraut added back in) and intermittent fast everyday. I don't like exercise so this is my main obstacle. I'm doing it now for the rapid weight loss but worry I wont be able to stick with it long term.

    5'2 and still have a lot of weight to lose. My goal is 1200 calories a day. I don't log my exercise, I just note it in my diary. I've had some days I've gone over like anyone else but I have steadily lost weight, about 30 pounds in 3 months.

    I'm 5'0, 41yo, started at 146 and lost 3 lbs in 3 weeks. I've had about 3 cheating days since then. I workout 3-4x a week. Spinning and strength. I don't feel much of a difference though. Maybe I'm too impatient. I do occasionally have a drink or two. Trying to stay away from alcohol, but it's summer and it's very hard.

    Do you take any supplements? Are you super strict with diet? 10 lbs a month... That's amazing!!

    I'm 5'1 and my last weigh-in I was 261.2lbs. I'd like to be 110-120 but my main focus is health. Counting calories is very new to me and I can't quite remember what MFP has me at. I'm also new to the gym. Commenting for hopeful encouragement, support, and tips from my fellow shorties. :)

    Congratulations on your success so far. I am 51, currently 208lbs. 93lbs to my goal weight. My program is similar to yours, however I just started yesterday. I also have a torn medial meniscus, so I'm finding it hard to find motivation to exercise. Any suggestions? I'm all ears. :)

    5'2, 116 @ 1400 cals/day (technically more like 1500 but adjusted down to help account for logging errors)
    I do a full body dumbbell workout 3 days a week. Some cardio.
    Not really even trying to lose but have lost 2 lbs since New Years.

    Had to update, since I realize it was March when I first posted here. I'm steadily losing 1lb a month because now I weight 113. The only thing I've changed is switching from a full body dumbbell routine to a split routine.

    5'1.5", 122lbs, "eat" 1300 a day, but I don't weigh my food or count exercise. They seem to balance each other out.
