    I feel you. I'm 5'2 as well and though I have a lot more to lose than you I generally keep to 1100-1200....very very rarely do i go over that and a lot of times with exercise i net way under. I know people will argue that's not healthy but I'm losing steadily at 1-2 lbs (sometimes less, sometimes a bit more depending on TOM) per week with 70ish left to go so for me it works. I have never been able to eat a lot of calories and the older I get the more strict I have to be with it. Oh to be another 2 or 3 inches taller so I could eat a bit more. Ah well it is what it is.

    Ah yes, age is another culprit. I found I was relatively okay until I hit my early 40s and then my metabolism seemed to grind to a halt, that *kitten*. Plus, as we get older we're more likely to have to take some kind of meds (I'm on Tamoxifen) that can also make it hard to keep weight off.

    Good luck to you; you're doing great! And kudos to you for being able to stick to 1100-1200 cals/day. I feel like when I get that low I want to eat my own arm. But I know I'll be down in that range as time rolls on....

    22/02 - 276.2
    01/03 - 276


    This last week is the first week where my motivation and determination have just gone. I've been fighting some major cravings and urges to binge this week.
    I suppose it's a little natural to be disappointed that there isn’t a 2lb weight loss, but given the week I had it’s actually amazing that it’s a 0.2lb loss.
    I’m trying not to think too much into it. As hard as the battle inside my head was this week at least I didn’t give in to the cravings and have not put weight on.
    I’m feeling better now than I did so looking forward for the upcoming week. I’ve got a PT session tonight and they always make me feel amazing. So hopefully I’m off to a great start.

    I actually flipped over to maintenance calories since I'm having some less than pleasant side effects from giving blood...so probably another week, possibly two at this level depending on how I feel...I definitely won't lose the whole 10 lbs but I do want to keep tracking.

    Still having to eat so as not to faint, and still trying to eat more rather than limiting calories...but, down to 158.8 this week and I can see more definition in my waist and smaller love handles, so the fat is going away a bit.

    Original weight June 2018: 185
    Current weight: 149
    Week one: 148.1
    Week two: 145
    Easter (spring break) goal weight: 139

    So, a big drop this week but can’t take all the credit as I’m recovering from a nasty stomach bug. 🤢 I am expecting the scale may actually go up next week!

    Week three: 145.9
    As expected the scale went up after recovering, but still down from week one, so I’ll take it! Gotta keep the momentum going, which is sooo hard..,

    Week four: 144.4

    This challenge is keeping me doubly accountable - love it!
