    4'11" and 43 years old. I'm currently 117 but would love to be back at 105 just so I can fit into some of my summer pants. I eat 1400 a day but usually eat less on days I don't work out. My TDEE is about 1650. I'm do cardio 3-4x a week but am going to try strength training starting April.

    I'm 5'2 1/2 and still losing at 1600 cal per day. It seems more is better with activity!

    I'm between 5'2 and 5'3, one of those. I weigh 176 now, started just around 199lbs on Feb 5th. Only started counting calories just over a week ago, which helped me through my period weight gain & loss, and I'm now down a few more!

    I do 1200, though I noticed MFP is taking away a few calories here and there now.

    I am 5'3 and weigh 161lb, my base calorie intake is 1330 and I usually burn 300-400 cals per day doing a mixture of cardio and weights. I have lost the best part of 60lbs but am feeling a little frustrated because I've been on a plateau for ages yet still would like to lose another 20lb. Recently I've tried eating back some of my exercise calories, but still no movement on the scales. I guess my logging isn't accurate enough!

    I am 5' 2''. I am hovering between 1200-1400 calories per day. I workout 5 days a week and this week I didn't eat back my calories and BOOM the scale went down.

    I am recovering from going to low and forcing my body into a brief starvation mode. I was at 1600 cals and lost 12 lbs in Jan then stopped losing, so I went down to 1200 and didn't lose a bit from mid Feb all through March. I work out 3-4 times per week. An hr of hard cardio then I do abs and arms on machines.

    My coach has me at 2100-2300 cals right now and I seem to be heading in the right direction again. I was up 5 lbs last week but seem to be down 2-3 from my plateau weight this week already.

    Just a warning to be careful not to go too low. It can play tricks on you. I literally didn't feel hunger but ate because I knew I should. My hunger is back now and hopefully my metabolism is kicking back in.

    Am on my 4th day of loosing weight program. I just ate 700cal/day and i already lost 2.4 kg. So happy with the results. Just counting calories of the food we eat. I dont do any intense exercise...or just nothing at all. My daily routine is just cleaning household chores...mopping floor and thats it.
