If you are at goal weight and are 5 feet & 3 inches what did you find your maintenance level to be? I know everyone is different. Just curious :)

    Close! 5'2. I'm maintaining a range of 120 lbs +/- 2 lbs with a TDEE of 2200. I walk about 14-15K steps a day, do light weights 2-3 times a week for exercise.

    During the week I eat at a deficit and then have more indulgent weekends, but it evens out to pretty much my maintenance cals for the week.

    Hi, I'm 5"3 and my maintenance calories are 2400-2600 calories a day as of right now. I lift heavy 3x a week and get an average of 12,000 steps a day. I just went on a maintenance break a few weeks ago and maintained perfectly at this level. I will offer a disclaimer, though.. I'm 182 pounds right now and about 30 pounds from goal weight, so I haven't thought that far ahead to what my maintenance calories will be when I'm at goal weight.

    ETA: I'm a doofus and didn't see the obvious part where you asked for input from people at goal weight. My bad! :blush:

    I am 5'3 and trying to get to at least 128. Right now I have been stuck around 138. I have been stuck for a few months and workout a lot. I don't eat what I should be eating though, and I keep my calorie count low. I am aiming for the 120's.

    I'm 5'3". I've been maintaining a 50lb loss for 5 years without exercise eating approximately 1700 calories. If i start to gain weight and go over 120lb i just cut back on my food or count calories.

    I'm 5'3.5"ish and I weigh 108 pounds. I'm maintaining on around 1900 to 2300 calories per day. My weight trend still has me losing weight but I'm giving it a few more weeks before I increase my calories.
