ATTN: ALL WOMEN APPROX. 5'0"

Trying to lose the office job pounds I put on this last year.

Height 4'11 1/2 (Fun Sized)
Age 33
HW 127 (While pregnant with both kids)
LW 110
CW 119
GW 110 (Hopefully by Jan 2014)

Goals and Scientific Stats
(These are based on a sedentary lifestyle with no exercise. A 15% calorie reduction for fat loss. I eat back exercise calories to refuel my body)

BMR: 1295 (To Live)
TDEE: 1554 (To Maintain)
Calorie Goal Before exercise: 1300 (To Lose)

Currently doing Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30. Not weighing in again until Nov 1st when I'm done with it. I also do youtube videos in addition to the program for extra burn, I alway combine strength and cardio unless I'm running.

I'm 5"1. I exercise everyday, usually at least 90mins of cardio... And every other day I do strength training for about an hour. My dietician says to lose, my calorie goal should be 1650 net, and to maintain it should be 2200. I'm working on it, but usually I only net about 500. I wasn't eating back exercise calories for a long time(didn't know I was suppose to) and ended up w/ some health issues.

HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
HW: 176 lbs (with first pregnancy 12 years ago),
166 lbs (with second pregnancy 19 months ago),
144 lbs as of Sept 2013 (after getting down to 134 lbs within 6 weeks after last pregnancy).
LW: 110 lbs
CW: 130 lbs
GW: 110 - 115 lbs

HOW TALL ARE YOU? 5'0"

WHEN/HOW DO YOU WORKOUT?
7 days a week.
20 mins jogging/walking (afternoon),
30 mins stationary bike (evening),
15-20 mins "strength training" ie: push ups, sit ups, squats, lunges, etc. (mornings)

ARE YOU MAINTAINING OR LOSING? Losing

HOW MANY CALS DO YOU EAT? 1200 + 500 (I'm currently breastfeeding) = 1700

HOW MANY CALS DO YOU NET? About 1400

Honestly, I'm pretty nervous to find out what's going to happen once I go into maintenance and my little one weans.

Height: 5'3"
HW: 154
CW: 111-112
I am currently maintaining, or gaining a little. I am not tracking at the moment, but when I was, I still lost at 1950 NET. During my weight loss phase, I began at 1200-1350 NET, then gradually bumped it up as I lost more. My workouts were dvds, like JM 30 DS/RI 30 and other similar type workouts, as well as some yoga. I also ran 3-6 miles about 3x/wk, walked with incline on the treadmill, and lifted weights in the gym. I workout a little less now, not as much running, but trying to keep up with the strength and interval training, as well as yoga. Switching up my workouts seemed to really help. I am muscular and strong, and have a good cardio base. My goal is to try triathlon training in the spring, and not lose more weight. I'm a size 0 in misses, or a junior's size 3, so I don't need to get any smaller, IMHO.

HW: 159
CW: 13 6
Goal: 120-125
HOW TALL ARE YOU? 5'2''
WHEN/HOW DO YOU WORKOUT? I do strength training (from my small collection of Jillian Michaels DVD's) everyday after work, then cardio (from my treadmill or biking) on the weekends.
ARE YOU MAINTAINING OR LOSING? Losing
HOW MANY CALS DO YOU EAT? It really depends on if I work out or not. The other day I had a big burn of 700 calories, so I had to eat 2000 that day in order to net around my bmr.
HOW MANY CALS DO YOU NET? I like to net around 1300-1400 a day

My goal weight is higher than most my height, I've have a body analysis done and I have a LBM of 95 lb and 120 pounds is my "optimal" weight. But I think I would be happy with anywhere between 120-125

These are really interesting!

I am 5 foot nothing, (153cm) short

HW: 127 (58kg)
CW: 114ish (51.9kg)
GW: 99 ( 45kg) I think for my size this weight would be good but Im not sure if its realistic.

I do about 12-20km runs 3 times a week in the forest, so lots of hills which hopefully is somewhat like strength training and walk or jog with my dog and Bf 3-6km most of the other days. I do push ups, sit ups and squats on a rare occasion.

My calories are 1200 which is just enough most of the time. I often will eat back about 100-200 exercise calories on a normal day. I can't eat all of my calories back tho, just can't fit...

So Im still in the process of losing. I am pretty happy with what I have accomplished so far. Last 3 or 4 weeks I have not lost much weight but I do think I may be putting on muscle from running.

My stats:

HW: 210 (started this journey 2 years ago)
CW: 125ish
Goal: 125 (have been at or close to goal for over a year now)
HOW TALL ARE YOU? 4'2''
WHEN/HOW DO YOU WORKOUT? my weekly goals differ (setting goals keep me on track) however usually at least 4 days a week (boxing 1-3 times a week, and then a mix of cardio and strength training) I am at the point now that i am focusing on toning up so i like to do more strength than cardio. i usually eat back around 1/2 my exercise calories.
ARE YOU MAINTAINING OR LOSING? maintaining
HOW MANY CALS DO YOU EAT? Between 1200 and 1450 (i know for maintenance ppl tend to play around with the number of calories they eat however i am comfortable eating at the number i am eating at now and i am guessing my body is comfortable as well because for the past year i have been at or close to goal- i fluctuate daily. )

Hi all the shorties!!!

Hi
I started a month ago. I and have been working hard!! I work out 6 days a week. It is really great to let your muscles rest a day. I go to the gym I do 60/70min on stair master or walk run. I then do a wt training and a Ton of situps!! I know from all my experience is that you need to wt train to change the way your body looks and the stronger you get your muscles that will help to burn fat.

I am eating 1200 and add 500cal on. I am really unsure of adding the Cal because I feel I will not loose the wt fast enough. the thing that I am really working on is to change my outlook on food and how I eat.

I have not been working and the stress is gone but if anyone has great diet suggestions to loose a little faster that would be great!

Good luck little one;)

I'm 5' exactly and I must say that if I ever got down to 100 pounds I would literally look I was dying. I generally look healthy about 125 and I've never really been able to get to 115 without doing it in a very unhealthy way.

HW: 155
CW: 138
GW: 130 (a very muscular 130)

I'm actually not logging food this month (giving myself a break and a trial to see if I can manage it - so far, all good!)

HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
about the 42kg mark (so approx 93pds I think)

HOW TALL ARE YOU?
4'10 (147cm)

WHEN/HOW DO YOU WORKOUT?
Currently exercising at my minimum as we had school holidays until recently. So the last few weeks have been Ripped in 30 DVD 3-4 times a week. Now that school is back, it'll be 2 more weeks of Ripped x3-4 + 3-4km walk x2 + 3-4km run x2, then I will swap the Ripped DVD for a weights routine (NROLFW).

ARE YOU MAINTAINING OR LOSING?
Maintaining

HOW MANY CALS DO YOU EAT?
HOW MANY CALS DO YOU NET?

As mentioned above, currently not logging food as a trial. But I do 6:1 which is the maintenance version of 5:2. So I eat roughly TDEE 6 days a week and 500 or less once a week. My BMR is about 1100, and my TDEE is approx 1500-1700 (depending on exercise). I have no issues hitting that or getting above it lol Ice cream anyone?

I'm still contemplating whether or not to start logging food again in November. If I do, it will be using the TDEE method and not count exercise calories (as that is already factored in). My main aim now is strength and fitness and working up to running my first 10km next year.

WHEN/HOW DO YOU WORKOUT? My workouts vary. I have a 2 year old and he *loves* going for walks..I live in a valley so I burn around 400 cals each time.. But since the weather here has been less than ideal we haven't been able to go. On days when walking is not an option I either hula hoop for 30 minutes or choose a Jillian Michaels DVD.

HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH? 207

WHEN/HOW DO YOU WORKOUT? I use a Total gym at home 3 times a week for about 20-30mins each session. I also live on the 3rd floor of my apartment complex so I walk up and down stairs a lot. I don't do a lot of walking, running, etc. due to a knee surgery that I haven't fully recovered from. For now it is mostly strength training.

ARE YOU MAINTAINING OR LOSING? Losing.....slowly. Just started back up (seriously this time) and am taking it slow so I get used to the lifestyle changes and hopefully they stick with me long term.
