I'm 5'2 and weigh 123 pounds. I average between 1400 to 1800 calories with the occasional splurge days. I try to work out 4 to 5 days a week. I used this site to calculate my goal weight maintenance calories and eat that now so there is no fuss when I finally get to my goal weight and I will already know how to eat properly to maintain that weight. http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/0

Hi Christina,
Just from reading your intro, it seems to me that we are somewhat similar---maybe or maybe not. Have you EVER been obese or overweight?
So you weigh 122 and would love to be 110.........................my weight is close to your weight and i want to get down to 114 or 115...however neither you nor i are actually overweight.
So, this can be done....with lots of hard work. Contrary to advice given here, i never have had a loss if i ate at 1500+ or so a day..also find that if i eat processed foods it is the same as going over the calories---.please keep in touch and let me know what works for you.
Your major is an excellent choice, good luck in getting the degree you are pursuing----seems like you'll always be healthy!!! :flowerforyou:0 -
I think its a progression, I started off at 1200 cals and was starving all the time and wasn't really loosing because I needed more calories because of doing high intensive workouts so switched it up to 1440 cals and been doing that for over a year and lost 6 lbs and have maintained it!0

I workout (combo of heavy lifting and cardio) for a total of 4.5 -5 hours per week.
I eat 2000 calories per day to lose weight.
EDIT to share my history: I started 2.5 years ago on 1200...lost for a while then plateaued for 5 months. Upped to 1700 a day...lost for a while then plateaued for 6 months. Currently eating 2000 and losing.0 -

4 feet 9inches, 187 pounds on May 17th. I will weigh in Monday to see how much I lost this past month.
I have a limit of 1200 cals a day.
I don't exercise a lot, and it's something I just need to baby step in... I don't like doing things in front of people, and it's just hard to find a place where I don't feel like I am being watched. I do try crunches in bed, and other exercises I can do when I go to bed.
When no one is home, I will either play on my Xbox kinnect or dance to songs for 20mins.
Can't wait to see how much I have lost this past month. If I start exercising more, I will probably limit myself to 1400-1500 cals a day. I get weak fast (no mater what I do), and the effect of the exercise will last HOURS! I did some rock shoveling today earlier this morning for about 20-35mins, this was before 10am. At 6pm, I still was wigging... and it wasn't like I was starving, I fed myself, lol.0 -
I'm 5'3 and your goal weight, 110. I'm done with my weight lose now I have to say I struggle to lose weight on more than 1200 but I did lots of exercise and eat some of the calories back if I'm hungry. I've added you, message me if you need more advice!!0

Bookmark to read later, since I am 5'2 and would love to hear from the girls who are struggling over 10 lb.0

I'm 5'3" and have lost about 18lbs in the last few months. I set my base calories at about 1300 and then I ate 50-75% of my exercise calories back, depending on how hungry I am that day.
ETA: I just recently upped my calories to 1500 a day since I reached my weight goal and still eat about 50% of my exercise calories back and I am still losing.0 -
