5'2 friends?

Hi, I'm 5'2 1/2" and MFP has me at 1340. I eat that much or slightly under.

5'3 1100 cal to maintain with 1 hour. Ardis a day and I don't eat my calories burned back! I weigh everything and track everything. Being short and small means hardly any food

I am 5ft 21/2 and just started today I am meant to start at 1200 but am going to try 1400 as 1200 seems too low for me

I'm about 160lbs right now. I eat around 1400-1500 with a 5-7 mile walk daily. I've still lost about 10 lbs in the last 3 weeks. Some of the research I've read said that if you start really low then as you lose weight you have to eat even less calories to continue to lose as you have stalls. If you start at 1200 where are you going to end up as you have to cut more calories and increase exercise to continue to see losses. I do throw higher calorie days in every week or so also, 1600-1700 calorie. Makes sense to me but I'm sure other things work for different people.

I'm 5'2" and eating between 1800 and 2000! I only have about 15lbs left to lose and given my activity level, this works for me.

I'm 148cm, which is about 4'10". MFP has me on 1200 and I strive to net a bit under that. My weight loss has been pretty gradual (my weight trend tracking app has me losing 0.1kg per week ) so I wouldn't want to be eating any more. Well I mean, I kind of would want to be eating more, but I'm just too short!! You giants with your 10cm on me should feel lucky

Hey guys, as a shorty, you guys know how much more difficult it is to lose weight.

I was just curious to see how many calories you guys are eating daily. MFP recommended 1200, but I refuse to eat that low because that's how I got metabolic damage in the past. So now I'm eating 1500.

How many are you eating? And feel free to add me if you'd like to be friends

I am 5'4 and extremely active due to my job and I consume an avg of 1500 calories a day and sometimes have difficulty doing so. Find what works for you and do that. I use MFP as a guideline not a rule and monitor and change my caloric intake based upon results. add me if you like..

5 1, i was on 1200 calories but weight loss stalled and i felt i was eating too little now ive started eating 1440 calories. i also run 5-7 miles , 5 times a week and have started to incorporate strength training. best rule of thumb would be to times your weight in lbs by 10 and eat just over 100 more calories.

5'2; I try to hit 1600/day - but only on days that I workout for about an hour and a half. On days I don't work out I try to keep it below 1400.

When all of you wonderful women and men are writing what you eat per day, is that net or just calories eaten?

5'2, 168#. I have a desk job and only get 1280 calories/day when I don't work out, which I do 5 days a week and I eat back nearly all of those calories. I've played around with this, and I just don't lose if I go over about 1450/day, MAX. It totally sucks because I have the appetite of an NFL linebacker.
