    I'm not a shortie, but my wife is. she's 4' 11" and 166 lbs. She's wants to be about 125 - 130. She got stuck at 170 for the longest time and was doing the standard 1200 calorie diet for females. I had her bump it up to 1300 - 1500 and start doing some strength training with me and her weight started going down again. She gets a little frustrated because her weight goes down so slow and mine goes down so much faster. The problem is the more muscle you have, the faster you're going to lose weight, but how much muscle can a female who's barely 5 feet tall have? We calculated her LBM to be about 105 lbs. You just gotta keep pluggin away at it.

    Do you eat exercise cals? Yes, some. I don't usually eat them all back in case I have underestimated my calorie intake or overestimated my calories burned.

    Do you eat exercise cals? I haven't been, and its been about 8 weeks. But, I also wasn't aware prior that I could possibly be under eating calories, so now I'm trying to incorporate a small amount of my exercise calories at a time.
    Are you losing? At what rate? It averaged around .5 a week. I haven't been losing (or gaining though luckily) for the past few weeks. Thats why I'm trying to up the calorie intake, because thats the only solution I have left!
