Looking for some fellow shorties (4'11-5'4)

Hi everyone.
Not new, with the exception that I've been staying on track for 12 days now.
I keep a blog for each day rating how I feel and the exact work-out I did.

I currently am doing the 5x5 program for strength building and my biggest ultimate goal is to do a definable pull-up.
I also do the Insanity program
and now and then I throw in some form of cardio.

I do not keep track of weight loss (sorry).
However I do keep track of body fat loss.
Every 10 days I report with a picture and my body fat and my food/exercise diary/blog is open.

Currently I struggle with figuring out how much I need to eat to be a calorie deficit so that I can lose fat and build muscle.
I'm 5'1, 25-26% body fat, and exercise about 50+ minutes a day.

I'm looking for short people who are trying to eat right and go for function rather than weight loss.
So all you Mary Kate Olsen goal weight shorties can pass on this.

If you lift, pretty please add me! If you have an open diary, add me! If you want to motivate a short person, Add me!

Just looking for motivation.

    I'm 5'3" and at maintenance. I still want to lose some fat (not much) and gain a little muscle. Are you wanting to stay at the same weight, is that what you mean by not keeping track of weight loss? If so, you don't need to be at a deficit to lose fat and build muscle. You can eat at maintenance, make sure you get enough protein, and lift. This is what my doctor and nurse have advised me to do. My doctor told me to up my calories to 1800. I get close somedays:) Friend me and my diary will be open. We can help each other.
