4'10" and eats 2000 calories a day?! Eeegads. :-) PICS!

What I do works for me. It may not work for everyone, but I just can't see myself living off of less than 1200 calories a day and running the way I do. I eat anywhere from 1600 to 2500 calories a day depending on my workout. Mostly, I run (about 50 miles a week), do P90x, strength train, and mountain bike.

Just because you're petite doesn't mean you have to eat like a little person. wink

You can eat more because you work out more. You sound as if you're very active and you're young. You probably spend a fair amount of time exercising, which is fine because you enjoy it and have the time. A short, petite woman who is sedentary or lightly active and who isn't in her 20s might not be able to eat as much as you do. it's not a contest. Everyone should do what's best for her.

Great job!

Smackin' hot girl! I don't even see how you can lose another 4% fat... but okay.

I am 4'9, and I want to weigh around 115lb, that's more than you, but I am big butted, big breasted, and big boned, so yeah, 110lb would be the least I would WANT to be, I think if I got below that I would look anorexic.

If was as active as you, I would literally DIE, I get tired out pretty fast because I put a lot of effort into a short amount of time. 2 hours of physical labour a day and I am down for the count, lol. Can't do anymore until the next day :P But I bet I burn calories like MAD!

I eat 1200-1400 cals a day right now, I try to meet all my macros, and I don't feel horrid. I walk 2 hours a week at a medium to fast past up a hill. and I also weight lift 3 days out of the week for 20mins.

I envy you to be able to do so much, I would love to do that. I do work hard at what I do, and I probably do have some issues that prevent me from doing all that you do. I get chest pains a lot (even when I was skinny I got them), I have pains in my feet a lot especially if I stand or walk on them too much, so I am trying. Baby steps baby steps!

Finally... you are HAWT!!! :P

It's great to see that you can still eat and lose. You look great! Thanks for this post.

I love that Mary J. Blige song!!! That's my theme song! Congratulations, you look more than "just fine" you look great!!!

Total Bad *kitten* little lady! CONGRATULATIONS on winning your leg of the race and continued success! :flowerforyou: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou: :bigsmile: You should post your BMR and TDEE along with those daily calories.

You're adorable....great work!

Just an fyi, I am soon to be 45 and eat as much, maybe more than she does. And yes, I am also very active and do not eat crap food. I fuel my body the way it is supposed to be fueled. I have no idea why you made the its not a contest statement but it is responsible, to eat and move your body that is.

Wohooo a shortie with some sense! You are awesome!

So inspiring! I also starved myself in college to be thin and am trying hard to do it the right way this time. It's such a balancing act. Thanks for sharing your story - it definitely gives me hope!
