question for ~5'1" girls who are maintaining!

k8lyn_235

hi everyone! i started maintenance at the end of april. while losing, i would net ~1350/day, and now, for maintenance, i am netting ~1450/day (with cheat days every once in a while to keep my mind and cravings satisfied!)

my maintenance weight is 105lbs

i was wondering if you girls could let me know what your maintenance weight is and what your goal daily net calories are. i feel like mine could be higher, but i've been maintaining steadily for 2 1/2 months, so i'm not sure if i can go to a higher goal or not.

PS: i know goal net depends on a lot of factors and i know not everyone is the same. i'm just curious!

It's a constant learning process..... I'm 5'3 and my maintenance weight is between 107-9 and I eat 1500 a day but save mon-thu exercise cals to have weekend blowouts - working to my weekly net cals rather than daily. I think I could probably go up to 1600 but have recently had a very badly behaved weekend so going to give it a couple of weeks yet! xx

I am 5ft and 103.

I ate over 2000 calories yesterday with 60 to spare. It was a hard workout day, but I usually eat around 1900 a day and more on Sundays.

I am 5'4, 125 and maintaining (so far) a 1500 with about 4 60 min workouts a week.
