I'm 4'10 and started at my heighest weight of 162lbs. My current weight is 152, and my aim is to be 112.
I'm aiming for 1lb weightloss per week, which is frustratingly slow but having a BMR of between 1350 - 1495 (depending what online calculator I use) means that hitting a big deficit is really difficult.

I want to be 136lbs by September, and hit my 112lb goal by about January. Looking for tiny friends to join me too!

    1lb/wk is actually a good, reasonable pace for weight loss. My BMR is around 1350 as well (disclaimer: I'm tall so I don't really belong in this thread though ;)). Just wanted to encourage you that 1lb/wk is a good pace. KOKO! You'll get there.

    I'm 5'2" but you'd never know cos I'm always around tall people and look smaller. I'm currently 160lbs, I recently just lost 8lbs! My goal is to be 120lbs by christmas, I'm struggling so hard in eating the right amount of calories! For me, I get full sooooo fast and I can never hit the amount I need, I burn about 600 a day and have like 2000 calories to eat and I just can't do it! I've been trying a diet of pretty much that if it has a label I don't eat it and cut out all dairy, but it is so hard when I'm eating and still not enough! I'm trying a pound a week like you, but it is sooooo hard not burning a butt load of calories and not having the stomach for calories to match!

    I'm 4foot9 with about 40-60lbs to lose. Trying a plan with a nutritionist who told me 60to100 grams of protein a day and no more than 100carbs a day. Been doing since Thursday and have a ton of energy. Tuesday is my first weigh-in. We'll see...
