Short girls (5'2 and under) who are looking to lose 50+ pounds

Hi Ladies! I'm 5'1 weighing 225lbs. I'm a wife, mother of 2 boys, and an emotional eater. I desire to lose 110 lbs total. I started 3 days ago, changing my eating habits and keeping track with MFP. I could use the motivation and tips from all of you to keep me going. It took me 12 years to gain this weight. I dont recognize myself anymore. I really want to be committed this time. I need this.

4'10, 183lbs. I'm starting to track today, but this is my plan to lose weight. This is what has worked well for me in the past. I will eat 1600 to lose 1 pound a week. Walk 20 minutes in the morning, light intensity. After work I will do 30 minutes of cardio/strength training. Avg about 8,000-10,000 steps per day. Daily calorie burn will be 2100-2200 with one rest day on Sunday. Right now, I am not actively losing weight but just tracking my maintenance calories, and then slowly over the course of a few weeks I will be lowering them to 1600. I feel like if I jump right into 1600 my body will rebel (like it has in the past) and I'll end up giving up and binging. So slow and steady for this gal. I'm in no hurry, I got the rest of my life to be healthy. But I'm making a conscious decision to start today and be good to myself! I got everything meticulously planned out now I just have to carry it out.

Unfortunately once you do get down to your goal weight, which for us is about 105-125ish, eating 1200 calories, and not exercising will probably stall your weight loss out. Which is why it is soooooo important to move our little booties. I know at my goal weight, my maintenance calories will be about 1350, if I don't exercise. But if I exercise daily, and make an effort to get steps in then I can certainly continue to lose weight, it might be slower but it's not impossible.
