5'3" women how much do you eat?exercise?

I'm 33, 5'3 and just started the 1200 calorie a day diet. I'm on week 2 with a 2 lb weight loss. For me this is working.. I tried 1300 and lost nothing for a month straight. Anything 1300 or higher just does nothing- I'm not sure if its cause I don't have a lot to lose (total of 13 more pounds left to get to goal) but its frustrating. I work out about 3 to 4 times a week for generally 30 minutes.

I'm 5'3", 36 years old. I have had my calorie goal set to 1375 for the last month and a half. Prior to that, I did 1200 for a month and a half and saw no results. Now I have lost 4 pounds. But I find that to be kind of pathetic for almost 3 full months of calorie counting and exercise. However, I'm not complaining too much, because at least I am losing and not gaining!

I exercise 3-4 days a week, for 60-120 minutes. I do both weight training and cardio nearly every time. On days that I exercise, I try to eat back about half of my exercise calories.

5'3" here and just changed my calories from 1,900 to 1,700. Turns out 1,900 is my maintenance. Been maintaining around 140 pounds for almost 2 months. Want to get to 130! I strength train 3x a week and dance twice a week and take classes here and there when my work schedule allows it.

ETA: I eat back exercise calories too.

I am 5'2 and I exercise everyday. Anywhere from an hour to two hours depending what day it is. I eat 1600

I am 5'2" and maintaining for 7 months at 100 lbs. I am very small so this is the correct weight for me. I exercise every day and eat back my calories. I have a maintenance calories at apx 1100 so with exercise I can eat 1300-1500/day depending on the amount of exercise.
This is NOT a lot of food!! I do weigh and log everyday so I don't go over. When I go out and "indulge) - I get right on track the next day. The scale will show a 1-3 lb increase for a few days but... I keep working on it until I am back to my "fighting" weight!!

This is a lifelong thing.

I'm 5'3 and eat 1800 calories and excercise 6 times a week ranging from 30 mins-50 mins.

Whoa I'm the same as you - weird.

I'm turning 25 in 2 months, I'm 5'3" and currently 170 lbs.

I'm focusing more on body recomposition than "weight loss" so I'm not really seeing a change on the scale, but I've lost 2.5% Body Fat Percentage, gained 7.5 lbs of Lean Body Mass and lost 2 lbs of fat mass in 4 months. Currently at 33.5% Body Fat Percentage.

I'm eating about 1850 calories per day, 45% carbs, 35% fat and 20% protein. (I'm aiming for 1837 calories - but 1850 is my average for this month.) I'm trying to increase my protein and trying to make sure I get my "healthy" fats in. (Nuts, avocado, fish...) I also try to make sure the carbs I eat are from whole grains or fruits and try not to have to many simple or processed carbs - of course baked goods and candy are delicious so that's always a challenge! Haha. :P

I've been focusing on strength training and recently (grudgingly) began doing some cardio. But with my increased muscle mass my cardio burns have been unusually high - so I'll take it! :P

My eventual goal is to be at maybeeee 22% body fat percentage? That sounds reasonable. And to have my muscles showing at LEAST in my arms if not elsewhere as well. (That would be wicked sweet). Also want to be able to bench something impressive.

I'm 35, 5'3 and have been maintaining at 125lbs for 1 yr. for maintenance I eat between 2300-2500 calories....for weight loss I was eating between 2000-2200. I exercise 6 days per week anywhere between 1.5-2 hrs. I'm also a personal trainer and group fitness instructor so aside from my own personal workouts, I also teach 1-2 classes per day. I'm also a runner so I train for short distance races as well as half marathons. My workouts tend to be very high intensity (insanity, Asylum vol 1&2, running) so I NEED t eat to fuel my body and my workouts. On my day off, I usually try and eat between 1600-1800 calories.

Everyone is different but for me I cannot live off a low calorie diet....I would have no energy!!! Plus I have a 2.5 yr old boy that I need to have energy for as well!!

Hiya,

i'm 5' 2", 24 years old and eat around 1300 calories a day. I exercise 5 days a week ranging from yoga, dancing, running and bodycombat doing around 1 - 1/2 hours a day. I weight 129lbs at the moment trying to get down to around 113lbs. I find it difficult to loose weight as I stick to a generally healthy food schedule during the week, then seem to let it slip at the weekend having the odd takeaway. I have also been told to vary the type of exercise you do as your body tends to get used to the same thing, not sure how true this is though.

Could do with some motivation/advice to try and loose them extra pounds!

1600 1700 1800 depending. On the day. 30 lbs to lose.

5'3", 49 yo- 1200 calories a day, eat back some of my exercise calories. I allow a higher calorie day at least once a week. I don't stress (anymore) if I'm over 100 calories. I pretty much eat what I want, only in smaller portions. I ride my bicycle or walk when the weather allows 3 or 4 times a week.

Works for me- 50 lbs down, 10 to go to a healthy BMI.

I'm 5'3" working on those last 10lb.
i'm currently eating 1500cal on rest days, 1700cal on workout days.
I'm doing P90X2 and workout ~6days a week for 45-60min.
This eating more is new to me, I was just doing WW for the past 5wk (so ~1200cal/day) and didn't lose a damn thing and felt awful). i've since started eating more (but pushing the protein not the carbs) and I'm starting to feel better (started this last week), less bloated. I weigh in Friday, so we'll see.
