    Hey fellow friend! I'm also 5'2
    my starting weight was 141 (Jan 7,2014)
    my current weight is 127.2 (as of this morning)
    goal weight is 125 lbs

    since I'm so close to my goal and honestly got tired of eating 1200 calories a day, I've set my food calorie goal to maintenance which mfp has me at 1600(sedentary-even though i know I'm not). I as of lately haven't been logging most of my exercise calories- i work out at least 8 hours a week total.. i just enjoy eating more. I've figured those exercise calories i don't log if I'm satisfied can be used for days where I'd like to indulge more than usual. Oh and even though my goal is set at 1600 i may eat less depending on if I'm satisfied or not :)

    I'm 5'3.5", can I count as short? :o

    SW: 170 lbs
    CW : 120 lbs
    GW: maybe 130 lbs, depends, going more on BF% than scale. I'm currently bulking at 2300.

    Maintenance calories are around 2200. I lose weight on around 1900 calories. I use TDEE, so I don't eat back exercise.

    My activities are weightlifting 3x a week, walking in the park about 30 minutes a few days a week, taking care of my kids and I clean buildings for about 3 hours 3 days a week.

    SW: 164
    CW: 158
    GW: 140

    Net Calories: 1500
    Daily Burn: 500
    Long Run Days Burn: 600-1400

    I'm training for a half-marathon and I don't want to lose weight fast because I always end up gaining it all back if I lose too fast (hence why my CW is nearly the same as my SW - I've gotten down to 140 before). My advice, exercise and count calories until you learn portion control, then do it to be healthy (and maybe to fit into a certain size), and forget the numbers, because if you are anyone like me who has struggled for 16+ years, once you get to a goal weight, its hard to maintain and not gain it all back or go the opposite direction and become too skinny.

    Just food for thought.

    I am 5'2

    SW:144
    CW: 126
    GW: 127

    So I met my goal. My calorie goal was 1200 but my weekly average was always between 1350. My maintenance is 1490, which so far I am basically sticking with but still losing a bit. I put my settings at sedentary because I really wasn't sure where I stood. I have always eaten back my exercise calories and I exercise most days. Hope that helps. Oh also I'm in my forties so I have the metabolism of a snail.

    I'm 5ft1
    SW: 173

    GW: 123

    I am on 1200 cals a day and aim to burn around 400 a day so eat around 1600 though sometimes less and then eat more another day. I am quite shocked at how easy it has been so far. I have chnaged my mindset from the lose as much as poss and quickly as poss to I am going to look at the long prize. I feel look and better everyday so want to enjoy the process rather than obsess about my goal which could take a year at my height!
