    Hey y'all, I'm 5'2", currently about 208 (down from a high of 226) and hoping to lose a LOT more. I do sometimes feel like it sucks to be so short - I can't really lose eating more than 1200-1300 a day, which is not so much!
    Even when I'm (hopefully!!) in maintenance mode us short ladies get about 1,600 a day, which also isn't too much!

    I was wondering how many women on here have target weights under 110 pounds? I had a started weight of 120 pounds which seams to he the goal weight of a lot of people. As an adult I have generally been on the average to light side of a healthy BMI however I have never calorie counted before so I am quite suprised at the diets of other people (not a negative thing, just even before attempting to lose weight I wouldn't have consumed the same amount). I am not promoting low cal diets etc but just curious how women with petite build/under 5"3 can eat close to 2000 cals with what seems to be minimal/average exercise still lose weight quite consistency?

    The only women that size who seem to be able to lose on that much are extremely active, younger women who are doing a lot of cardio and strength training. Right now, I'm eating around 1200 (I also "eat back" exercise calories), and I'm just maintaining at this point at 120. If I don't track for a few days, I end up gaining.

    I am 5'2 and have lost about 55 pounds. I am looking to lose 46 or so more. According to all the charts, I will still be overweight, but I have a large frame and I think the 150-175 range will work. I am looking for people to help motivate me and keep my butt moving......

    I'm 5'2 , 149lbs. Got really serious about losing weight last month. I've lost a little over 6lbs so far. Highest weight (while not pregnant) is 157lbs and lowest weight after having kids is 124 (100 in high school). My main goal is 115lbs but made my first short goal today by getting out the 150s :D

    Hi I am 4'11"; I started back awhile ago; but was in the hospital for about a month. I am just starting back and I have about 65 lbs to go. I have to say I am a couch potato, and my job is sitting at a desk all day. I am going to start out slow and do the stairs in the mornings it's about 3 flights. Always could use help to keep me going.

    I'm a shorty at 5'2 and a half! :) Feel free to add me, I have 50lbs to lose. Would love to know what everyone is keeping their calories in at? I set my settings at 1200cals/day. I eat some of my cals back from exercise but not all...any advice? Is this correct? Has this worked for others?

    5' and have learned that just a few pounds can make a big difference on such a short frame. I currently have a goal of 120lbs.

    MFP set me at 1270 net calories a day. It's too early to tell if it's working for me, but I do try to eat back my exercise calories. I'm having trouble eating all of my calories back though since I eat mostly healthy foods.

    I'm 5' 2" and 170 lb. I would be so happy if I can ever make it to 130 lb, let alone any lower. I've always been overweight and gave MFP a try several times before coming back here today again. Feel free to add me. I really need some motivation!
