    4'11 and 110 lbs.

    Recommended calorie intake is circa 1200. (Weight loss: 1lbs per week, low activity)

    5'1 1/2" (every quarter inch counts). My TDEE is 1440. To lose .5 lb week I eat 1200 --right not not eating all exercise calories back but if I have some to eat and i'm hungry, or out to dinner, or whatever I'll do it

    My goal is to lose _+ 5 lbs of fat but add muscle and add in more exercise to raise maintenance to 1500/day.

    I used to lament that being short meant that every pound showed and that losing weight was hard as there's far less calorie cushion. On the other hand, a 5 to 7 lb weight loss on a shortie looks like a 20 lbs weight loss on someone 5'8" so there's a bright side :).

    I am 5'3 and I usually eat 1250-1350 and some days I eat my exercise calories back. I am a volume eater as well so I eat lots of salads, various veggies and I LOVE stirfry. I do not usually feel hungry. I am trying to get more fruits and veggies in for healthy sake

    I'm 5ft and I'm having 1350 cals a day for 0.5lbs weight loss a week. I've still have about 20lbs to reach my goal. I imagine I may have to drop to 1200 at some point.

    I usually eat around 1300-1400 calories on days I can't exercise (aka weekdays). I pump it up to around 1500-1600 on the days I can though
