Age: 30
Height: Just shy of 5'2"
SW: 240
CW: 180
GW: I'd be happy at anywhere between 110-120
Calories: Between 1100-1200/day
Exercise: Don't ask... :noway: My lack of exercise has kept my weight loss progession slow, but I'm just struggling to find a physical activity I find enjoyable. I absolutely despise the gym (I find it boring and tedious), so if anyone has any good suggestions on exercise that doesn't feel like exercise, I would love your input!!
If you want to try something that isn't boring or tedious you should check out Crossfit . The workouts vary from day to day and you usually don't know what it is until the class starts. I started going in September 2011 after being coaxed by two sisters-in-laws to do a women's boot camp, I had not worked out in forever and extremely out of shape. I cried and couldn't finish the workout the first night but I went back and I won one of prizes for biggest loser in boot camp and paid for my second round of boot camp.I have lost about 37 pounds and lots of inches and the first thing I noticed was I didn't have fat knees anymore and I was starting to see definition everywhere, I can now do sit-ups , push-ups,squats,dead lifts, pull-ups with a band and other exercises I thought I would never ever be able to do. The workouts can all be scaled individually to meet your fitness abilities. My Crossfit gym and coaches are the best. I am 44 yrs. old and looking to be my fittest body in about 16 years.:)0 -

I just started on this 2 weeks ago. I try to stay at 1200 a day, but do go over sometimes. I am a little confused about eating back the calories i have burned, but i do eat them back sometimes if i'm hungry. if not then i don't this keeps me below 1200 for the day.
exercise is minimal. i walk about 45 mins a day that all i get time for.0 -

Try this calculator for your TDEE. To maintain, you would eat your TDEE calories.

Hey,
My name's Sarah and I'm about 1mm under 5'2 haha.
October 26th 2011 I started Lite n Easy (1200cal plan). With the occasional naughty indulgences I managed to lose 8.7kgs/19.14lbs in 3-4 months without exercise. Then I plateaued. Gained 0.7kgs/1.54lbs. Been on that plateau for over a month. On the 17th of March my partner and I went for a 4 fricken hour hike. Everyday since I've managed a minimum of 30 mins of exercise a day. Weight still didn't budge. Attempted Couch 2 5K on the 21st of March, gave me shin splints. Started Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred on the 26th of March.. First time I've ever experienced dripping sweat on my face, it actually stung, it stung alot that even a cool shower and aloe vera spray wasn't helping, I felt sunburnt. I didn't give up. My stamina has already increased. I've upped my calories to 1500 on Lite n Easy. Last night (Friday the 30th of March) I downed 600cals worth of Lindor Lindt chocolate (YUM!). MFP has helped me because my diary is public to friends and everyone could see I ate 600cal of chocolate.. 12am I was on the exercise bike, I burnt that 600 in about an hour and 15 minutes. Did an hour straight burnt 500, took a break, then did the final 100. Weight myself this morning.. Burtn 400g!!!! So EXTREMELY happy to burst through that plateau! Today, 500 burnt on the bike again, no Jillian Michaels (Only because the jumping jacks and butt kicks caused more shin splint pain). Target, burn 500cals a day. Power on through this weight loss.
Age: 22
SW: 87.7kg/192.9lbs (Heaviest I've been was 93kgs/204lbs back in the beginning of 2010)
CW: 79.3kgs/174.46lbs
GW: 60kgs/132
Would love friends with similar stats, add me! Need all the motivation I can get and I LOVE giving it back!0 -
5.2", 27 years old, hourglass shape. Started at 177, now at 150, aiming for 120.
Initially I had a goal of 1200 a day but I actually ate around 1000... I didn't understand that my daily intake was a goal I should achieve, I saw it as a line I should avoid (don't know if that makes sense...)
Every since I started exercising my weight loss has SLOWED DOWN!!! I joined the gym two months ago and in my head that was supposed to turbo boost my weight loss. But didn't work! Go figure! Anyway, I've recently upped my calories to 1350 a day (but I count them on a weekly basis, so some days are higher than others). I'm losing about 3 pounds a month, I guess that isn't soooo bad, but it seems slow compared to other people.
All the best to us shorties!0 -
I'm a teenager(; I've been running the past 2 months (I'm running my first 5k ever today!!!) but that's about all I do as far as exercise goes. My lifestyle is sedentary since I'm a student. I'd say I'm just a normal build... I think?(;

GW: 120-122 (I have my ticker set for 120 though)

I've lost 8 pounds on MFP since February 24th (I lost 3 before MFP), I've gotten too small for my workout clothes!!! (that's one of my biggest NSV's (; ), and I'm ready to lose the extra 24 pounds as soon as possible!!!(:0 -

While losing ate at 1200 cals, ate excercise cals when I wanted to and felt hungry. I am currently in maintenance eating 1540 cals, working on fat loss, getting lean muscle mass and definition. If I get to UGW, that will be a plus, but I am satisfied where I am at weight wise. :happy:0 -
5'2 3/4''
HW (before MFP): 183
HW on MFP: 112
LW: 104.6
CW: about 104.6
GW: I have no idea. I just want to lose some fat and gain some muscle.
Edit: I didn't see the other part. I'm working on upping my calories right now because everything has stalled, and I'll never build muscle at 1200. For the first 60 pounds of weight loss, I used the recumbent bike for an hour every day and weight trained. Then, as I was more able, I started using the elliptical. Now I mostly run. I couldn't even run the mile in high school (I weighed about 140 then, which I thought was pretty average), and now I run about 8 miles in an hour (which I could improve, but it's pretty good considering, haha). I want to start doing classes, but I'm poor and my gym doesn't offer them for free0 -
I'm 5'2 I've been doing MFP for 50 days now and I've lost 13 lbs. My calorie goal is 1200. I work out 4 times/week. I mostly do cardio (Elliptical or Bike) and 1 day of weights. I've done classes too but lately I've been mainly doing the elliptical and maybe 1 day of Spinning.
