    I'm not under 5', I am 5'3" but I just wanted to pop in here and give you guys my support. I saw all the flack you got about your goal weight and I agree with you. People under 5' are going to have way lower ideal weights. And they are going to have lower calorie requirements. I am on my way back to 140 but at 140 and lifting heavy weights 3 days a week I wear a size 4 in any brand jeans. I also cannot eat more than 1400-1500 calories a day to maintain 140lbs, and that's with lifting weights 3x's a week and doing 30 minutes of cardio 5 times a week. So if you are under 5' and are not working out you are going to have a lot lower calorie needs. I workout because I enjoy it, it gives me more muscle and allows me to eat a bit more. good luck girls.

    Thank you!!! =)

    Oh, and also, my current calorie goal is set at 1200, but also I am breastfeeding my baby several times a day, so that adds 300 to adjust for breastfeeding an older baby (lower than the standard 500 usually given for breastfeeding.)

    I hope it works and I will keep ya posted!

    What do you all think of the 113 goal for a 38 year old mom of 4 who is 5'0"?

    Sounds great to me!

    Afternoon all , how are we today, can you tell me how many cals you are all on, i am on 1100, i am aiming to lose 1-2lbs a week

    I try to keep my net under 1000, hoping to lose 1-2lbs a week as well.

    I have been trying to keep mine under 1000 too. Right now it is set at 850 for safety though haha. I am trying to start working out. Sounds like we are similar in calories :smile:

    Hi All! I'd like to join in :) I'm 5'0" as well. I'm currently stuck at 114.6 and would love to lose about 5 - 10 lbs by my wedding on 9/24/11. I have been eating my exercise calories back and have my cals at 1200, so I'm thinking I should shoot for closer to 1000/1100 and not eat back my exercise cals to hopefully break this plateau. Glad there's a group here for us super shorties!!

    Hi! Nice to meet you! I def think you can lose the weight by your wedding day! I think 1200 is too many, and I don't eat my exercise calories too (I don't exercise much though). Good luck!! :smile:

    How were/are you able to keep the momentum going to keep losing? I'm stuck right now. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it!

    Hi! Nice to meet you too. Thanks for the suggestion of lowering my cals and not eating back my exercise cals. I've been doing TF and the program stresses that you get enough fuel. I think I've been over fueling though! I'm going to try to not eat back exercise cals and see if that does the trick! Continuously tweaking to get to where I want to be!

    I don't know, it took me months to figure out my proper maintainence calories. If I eat any less I still lose weight.. Sorry I can't be on any help. ):

    Hi! I'm 4'11" and would definitely like to be added. There aren't that many girls our height so, I'm glad to know there's help. By the way, would it be a good idea to go beyond the amount of protein or maintain within the guidelines mfp gives? My coach says to consume more and mfp says otherwise. I'm not sure which would be best...any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, girls!

    I'm like 4'11" or 5'0" it depends on my mood or who measures me. lol I'm also struggling with gaining muscle, weight loss and calories since I am so small.
