    I'm 5'4", about 137 at the moment. I run a DUP program with added bodybuilding work, 4x per week. 2 Hour sessions. I eat 1800 to maintain and 1500 to lose.

    Lightly active, no cardio, 12k average steps per day.

    5'4", 137 now. I eat 1840 + exercise calories. Lifting 3x/week, running 15-20 miles. Finishing stage 2 of New Rules of Lifting for Women. I was losing 1/2-3/4 lb /week, but now maybe maintaining. I'm going to reevaluate in a week or two.
