    I'm 5'2" and when I was losing I ate between 1200-1500 calories a day. I was 148 at my heaviest, currently maintaining around 110. My maintenance calories are about 1700.

    Just tinkering with this method. I'm nearly 44, 5'3" if I stand up straight, 137lbs (heading for 127-ish), TDEE around 2050, eating 1650-ish. I've lost 2.5lbs in the last 30 days so it seems to be roughly right for me (I started last June at 172, took a maintenance break pretty much November to January)

    I'm 5'3" and I weigh 112 pounds. I eat 2000 to 2400 calories to maintain my weight depending on how active I've been that day. I was losing weight on 1800 to 2200.
