A little taller, at 5'4" and 197 lbs....
I've been eating about 1400-1500 cals per day.
Went from 260 lbs to 197 in about 4 months 1 week.
No exercise, although I really should....but I just try and stay moving/active.0 -
5'1" at 230. I eat about 1,400, but looking to adjust, again. Can't find my ideal.0

5'3" 53 years old. 207 lbs I do cardio 4-6 days a week. 1200 Kcal on days with no exercise, I eat back 1/2 of my exercise calories. I am losing 2 lbs a week on average.0
-
5'0" 45 years old. 1200 net calories.. I am not 100% with my logging of foods but I also try and underestimate my exercise calories... 1200 sucks but when you are short that is how it goes.. I lose slowly but steadily.0

I'm 5'2", age 51, currently 199 lbs, (have lost 31 lbs so far) eating 1200-1350 cals per day. Every day I walk an hour and stationary bike 30 mins. Been losing approx 2-3 lbs each week.0

I'm 5'.0, age 37, and currently around 117 lbs. I seem to be losing around 1800-1900 cals/day. I've had a few days where I go over 2000. I exercise 6 days per week - running at least 3 miles at high intensity, well high for me - 8 minute miles.
I started out around 122 lbs and peaked just above 123.
The other day, after my run I weighed 114.8 - which I know was just water weight, but I just couldn't believe it... it makes me hopeful that I'll see that number soon if I keep up what I'm doing!0 -
5'1.5" and 56 years old. I tend to eat 1200 or less. For a while I was eating more, 1200 + exercise, but not losing.0

5"3, weigh 137, down from 155, 13 days ago.
Food Intake:
I eat one meal daily, appx 700 calories, 90% fat to carb ratio.
1 cup strong black coffee upon waking.
Absolutely no Sugar. No artificial Sweeteners.
My only fruits are Avocado, Red Pepper, Tomato and Cucumber. (Yes these are all technically botanical fruits.)
Probiotics:
I drink 1 gallon (18 cups) of water daily infused with 1/4 cup homemade Kombucha
I eat 1/4 to 1//2 cup of whipped cream kefir daily
Suppliments: Essential Fatty Acids
2gr EPA 1gr DHA, 1.3 gr ALA, 250mg GLA
this from oils: Anchovy, Sardine, Mackerel, Evening Primrose, Organic Flaxseed
Intermittent Fasting:
I intermittent fast anywhere from 18 - 24 hours every single day.
18 hours is my goal but I don't eat until I'm actually hungry which is around 24 hours.
Exercise
I do 20 minutes of brisk walking on an empty stomach everyday and am slowing starting to add in some resistance training.
Summary: This is not a long term diet. It is to get me down to my goal 115 lbs as quickly as possible. At that point I will consume between 1000-1200 calories daily. I will continue to take supplements, eat probiotics (but with raw sauerkraut added back in) and intermittent fast everyday. I don't like exercise so this is my main obstacle. I'm doing it now for the rapid weight loss but worry I wont be able to stick with it long term.

5'2, SW 204, CW 188 Still have 60 lbs to go. I'm eating 1400calories to lose 1 lb per week (down from about 1450). I am starting to exercise about 4 x a week cardio for 30 minutes. Started mid-April and have lost 16 lbs in two months eating back exercise calories in part. Occasionally all back if I'm splurging..0

5'2 and still have a lot of weight to lose. My goal is 1200 calories a day. I don't log my exercise, I just note it in my diary. I've had some days I've gone over like anyone else but I have steadily lost weight, about 30 pounds in 3 months.0

I'm 5'0, 41yo, started at 146 and lost 3 lbs in 3 weeks. I've had about 3 cheating days since then. I workout 3-4x a week. Spinning and strength. I don't feel much of a difference though. Maybe I'm too impatient. I do occasionally have a drink or two. Trying to stay away from alcohol, but it's summer and it's very hard.0

Do you take any supplements? Are you super strict with diet? 10 lbs a month... That's amazing!!

I'm 5'1 and my last weigh-in I was 261.2lbs. I'd like to be 110-120 but my main focus is health. Counting calories is very new to me and I can't quite remember what MFP has me at. I'm also new to the gym. Commenting for hopeful encouragement, support, and tips from my fellow shorties.0

I do a full body dumbbell workout 3 days a week. Some cardio.
Not really even trying to lose but have lost 2 lbs since New Years.
Had to update, since I realize it was March when I first posted here. I'm steadily losing 1lb a month because now I weight 113. The only thing I've changed is switching from a full body dumbbell routine to a split routine.0 -
5'3", losing consistently on 2000 kcals a day. But I'm pretty active (20k steps a day plus planned exercise) and have about 40lbs to lose.0

5'1.5", 122lbs, "eat" 1300 a day, but I don't weigh my food or count exercise. They seem to balance each other out.0
