How many calories do you eat to maintain this weight? I do not sit much and exercise 4 days a week.

start with what MFP gives you and add/subtract 100 cals per week depending what your weight does

Im 5 ft 4 and float around 140-145 lb and my daily maintenance works out around 1900 a day. I do eat less Mon-Fri though so i can eat/drink a bit more at the weekend. X

I'm 5'4.5" and 142. I strength train 3-4x/week and cardio 1-2x/week. I otherwise sit at a desk 10+ hours/day. I eat 1700/day. Like another poster mentioned, I tend to eat at a slight deficit during the week to amass more calories for the weekend

Adding that I am also yet another that eats under during the week and over during the weekends.

I am 5'4" and weigh 155. My calorie target for a non-workout day is around 1800. On workout days it can increase to about 2200-2400 depending on the intensity. I normally weight train 3x/week and do zumba twice a week. My weight has not changed much in the last three months so I know my body is building more muscle and decreasing body fat.

When you weight train, how long? 30min. Etc?

Thank you so much for all of yout feed back. This is great...and makes sense why i was starving. I was eating 1500 a week, exercising 4 days a week, and not eating back exercise calories...plus i do not sit much.

Anyone who wants to be my friend...please send request. It is good to know females who are at same height and weight. I do encourage all my people faithfully, and keep a small group so i can do so. I try not to go over 50. If somebody is off for 3mo. I try to at least encourage them. If two weeks later i don't hear from them...i delete. I want same equal encouragement...and to know they want this as bad as i do! I. will be 40 this year. Married with 3 kids.

I'm currently trying to lose weight on a slight deficit and am eating 1575 calories/day (not eating exercise calories back) while lifting weights 3 days per week (StrongLifts) and walking 5 days a week for 30 min. I'm currently losing 0.5-1 lbs/week.

I'm 5'4.5" and 149.5 lbs currently.

My weight training lasts from 30 min to an hour depending on the workout. I really like the book NEW RULES FOR LIFTING FOR WOMEN. Workouts are intense but SHORT. More bang for the buck!

I don't go to. Gym, but i have many things to keep me busy. Dvds, maxtrainer bench with free weights. Maxtrainer eliptical, stretchy bands, yoga mat, exercise ball, and a weighted hula hoop! Lol! I know i need to burn between 450-500. If i want to eat decent and not starve. I love food!

Can i get that book anywhere? I don't have leg weights...so that does make a difference. I try to do lunges and squats to make up for it.

I bought the book through my kindle app from Amazon. You can get used hard copies from there as well

I am 5'4'' and I am maintaining on around 1900 calories. I am 135, however, but I have been 145 a bit ago and I was maintaining at around 1500 calories. Though I sit all the time... I'm lazy, but I am also young. IDK if this helps :P
