    I'm below 5' (4'9") and I NEVER reach my 1200 calories... I average between 800 to 900. Believe me, I try. But I'm on the 'eat as small as your fist every 2 hours' diet because of medical reasons.

    I am also 5'1 and CW is 142.

    I was wondering what you all do for your calorie intake. I am currently doing 1200 calories and eating back workout calories burned but my scale isnt budging. I have been doing this for 6 weeks now and I have only lost 1 lb. I work out at least 4 times a week, mostly by running/walking and I have started the 30 day shred but I am not seeing the results I was expecting.

    Do you ladies do more calories and workouts than this? What am I doing wrong?

    Maybe try eating back only half of your workout calories? When I eat them all back I don't seem to lose weight.

    I'm 5'2" and until a year ago, weighed 130lbs and had an athletic build for over a decade. In the past year I have gained 50lbs as a side affect after taking medication to alleviate my back pain due to a major car accident. My diet hasn't changed at all since the accident and I have stopped taking the meds, but I'm having trouble losing weight...

    It's even harder to lose weight while experiencing sharp back pain constantly throughout the day.. Workouts get the best of me sometimes. My doctors say I'm supposed to weigh about 115lbs due to my height. I personally think if I were 115lbs, I would look emaciated. So my plan is to lose weight and exercise to the point where I'm happy with how I look again and there's less stress on my back.

    Regardless of a doctor-recommended weight based on your height, I believe everyone should be at a weight they're comfortable with and takes into considerations any health issues instead of striving for some arbitrary number.

    Eating 1200 calories and not losing weight:

    I have 2 friends and my stepmom who really struggled with this. My friend and stepmom finally went to the Paleo diet and lost immediately. They have kept it moving off. It might be the foods that are keeping your metabolism slow.

    Me, on the other hand, am doing great with calorie reduction (to 1200 cals) and almost no starchy carbs or sugar (low glycemic index fruits and foods). That is the trick for me - carbs.
