I am 5'3", 108lbs and maintaining. I am eating a net calorie of 1460, which is what MFP gives me for maintenance with a sedentary lifestyle. I used a couple other online calculators, I got 1515 and 1500 something. So I just stayed with 1460, and eat my exercise calories back. Most days, I actually go over my caloric goal, but it hasn't affect my weight/look/measurements.0

I too have just moved over to maintaining... only on day 2 and have decided to do what the above poster is doing... i am 5'2" 110lbs and aiming to consume 1460net calories. Since i just started i can't say how its going to work for me but i do NOT want to lose anymore weight and this seems to be the best option for me... other then my workouts i live a pretty sedentary life so i don't think i need much more then this to maintain. I am defiantly enjoying eating more food now then i did well i was losing. I have never ate so much food In my entire life and i am loving it!!0

I'm 5'2", I've been maintaining at 100 and toning up for about 5 months. MFP has me set at 1640. I seem to typically eat around 1500 and I try not to eat my excercise calories back. I typically burn around 200ish calories 5-6 days a week and I'm pretty active throughout the day. I don't know if this helps, but it seems to be working for me. I seem to vary between 1-2 pounds at the most. Enjoy maintenance...it's so much better than 1200!0

hi ladies,
i am so glad to see women together here of the same height. it's nice to compare calories, tips, etc.
i cannot believe you stay so slim eating 1400-1500 calories! this has really inspired me.
i have dieted pretty much my whole life, i never thought it was possible to eat well and be thin.
this whole thread has been a real wake up call for me.
i am a binge eater, starver, who has managed to climb to 250! yikes!
so i am going to stick with eating healthy calories and exercise and hopefully there will be less of me soon.
maybe we can keep this tread going?
cheers!0 -

Wow! What exercise do you do?0 -
You're lucky Sunshine. I don't think most can maintain on that higher amount.
Exercise is particularly important during maintenance. If you exercise regularly you can eat more and maintain.0 -
Height is completely irrelevant so since I am maintaining at a similar weight I will put in my situation. I am 108ish, and I maintain on 2200. Why? I don't have a car, I eat very clean, and I lift heavy. My workouts are rarely longer than 30 minutes. I thought I couldn't eat more than about 1000 calories a day without gaining but turns out I had just screwed my metabolism from dieting, went through a metabolism restoration period and now I get to eat like a pig and I can lose weight on 1700. Boom.0

Hmm, it seems all the high calorie eaters I've seen lift weights. And I love food so I'd love a high calorie intake. How do you go about starting to lift weights?0 -
I'm 5'3 109 lb and eat around 1200 for maintenance.
I do exercise but not everyday.0 -
I was just wondering how many cals (before and after exercising) you were all eating whilst you were losing weight? I live a pretty sedentary life if I don't exercise and so my TDEE was calculated at less than 1500 a day (not including workouts). MFP has me set to lose about 2lbs a month if I eat 1200!0
