Just looking for input from other shorties. I'm 5'1" and MyFitnessPal set my calories to 1670 to lose a pound a week. I'm not in a hurry, I just want to find something I can stick with long term so I didn't want to cut my calories way back. I'm curious what everyone else has theirs set to and what results they are seeing?

    I'm 5ft and MFP has recommended 1200 which I am doing. I have only been doing calorie counting for 6 weeks but have lost 10lbs so far.

    I'm 5'2" and MFP weight is set at 185 (I track my weight with an app and only update MFP every 5 pounds or so). With my goal of 1 pound/week, MFP gives me 1400.

    I'm just under 5'1'', I lost 30 pounds at 1230 a day. I'm still trying to find my maintenance level, it's probably going to be about 1600-1700 not including the gym.
