5'1" what is your daily cal target? Activity?

I'm 5'1. I am eating about 1350 daily and burning 400-600 4-5 days per week. I play softball once a week, ultimate frisbee once a week, and 2 boot camp type workouts each week with a trainer. Some weeks I throw in an exercise video at home. I notice some weeks I won't lose anything, and others I lose double what I expect.. I've lost 40 so far. I'm also thinking about doing the couch-2-5k plan in addition to my normal workouts. If I do start running as well, I will definitely need to up my calories to probably 1600.

good luck..

5'2", I eat roughly 1500 cal a day, aim for 90-100 grams of protein.

I have a free day on the weekend once a week. (no calorie counts that day)

I workout about two hours a day, 4 days a week. (M-TH)
One day is a 60 min AM workout only. (FR)
2 days are rest days (S-S)


M-W-F Its Resistance Training with heavy weights in AM for 60 min, (P90x and P90x2) with added 60 min of cardio in PM.Treadclimber intervials (M,T,W,TH)

T-Th - AM cardio workout or various types with DVD 60 min, and PM Treadclimber intervals for 60 min

I have lost roughly 60 pounds total, at my goal "size" now. (I judge size, not scale weight, as I weight heavy due to added muscle, dont care about scale number) Mainly working on lowering bodyfat at this point, not so much pounds.

My goals are clothing size and inch loss.
Have done 1200, 1300, 1400, and staggered cals (and higher) Stalled at lower ranges, gained at higher.

Its difficult to find a perfect cal goal when close to goal weight. Its a challenge for me also. I am still crunching numbers.

Make sure you are eating enough carbs and protein, when those get to low, I stall on weight loss, and or lose strength or energy on workouts.

Sounds like you're doing the right things! I'm 5'2 (135 lbs) and I eat a minimum of 1200 net. The more calories I burn, the more I get to eat! Try mixing up your workouts and try intervel training (weights or cardio or both!)

I am 5'2" and I eat anywhere from 1600-1700 calories/day. I do lift heavy and do HIIT cardio 3 days/week. Don't forget - you have to eat to lose... 1200 calorie diets rarely produce the results you want!

Hope that helps!

I'm 5' 2" and sedentary; I'm recovering from an injury and can only walk slowly and do a little strength training. My daily target is around 1,200.

Im just 5 2..173 lbs and Im currently on 1330. But actually upping it to 1450 today. I stalled out a little and know its because Im not eating nearly enough. Most days I try to eat back my exercise calories but I dont always make it to 1200 net. So I am working on getting in more of those calories. I work out 6 days a week. A combo of cardio and strength.

Five feet, target around 1500, but usually eat less. Walk 2 hours a day five days a week, sometimes an extra few hours of walking on weekends with hubby. Also do circuit training a few days a week.

Working for me so far.

5'2" SW 162.4 CW 148.7 just upped from about 1200 net to 1440 about 1.5 weeks ago. I have been pretty much staying about the same weight for 3 weeks. I have also had a few days that were bad in there.

I'm 5ft 1.8in, and my goal is 1626 calories per day. I burn anywhere between 50 and 500ish doing exercise. If I drop below a net of 1519, I eat back until I'm back between 1519 and 1626.

I'm sedentary - I work up to 15 hours a day at a desk, and my work-outs happen in my spare time and aren't particularly long. I run, walk, cycle and occasionally play Kinect.

Starting weight was 174lbs. Now on 153.4lbs.

I'm 5'1.5" and I only want to lose like 5 lbs, but it's impossible. My target is 1200 calories per day but I exercise and I find that really hard to maintain after a while. So i'm eating like 1400-1500 most days. yesterday i guess i gave myself a free day and ate 2300

but i feel like even if i ever do lose 5 lbs which i probably will never do, my calorie intake to maintain will have to be ridiculous, still. since my BMR is like 1190-something and i sit all day at a desk for my job.

i do work out 3 times a week at the gym for an hour or so. i just feel like it's impossible to be this short. and maintain and not be hungry all the time.

I know how you feel

I'm 5'2 just trying to lose around 10lbs
I net 1550. Recently upped to 1600. I lift 1-3x a week and I've been working
out everyday for two weeks just because I enjoy it. Probably will drop back down to 5 days.
&I'm set at sedentary. (:

Works for me

Im 5´2¨ and eat 1100-1200 (I feel stuffed and feel I eat a lot when I eat the 1200 tho)

I walk everyday for 30-45 min.. And I also do zumba for one hour 6 days a week.

I'm 5'0 here. My daily calorie goal is 1000 and I tend to keep it very low carb. I try to run/walk at least five times a week in addition to activities such as wii zumba and gardening. Good luck!

I am 5'1 also.On days I dont exercise it says my goal is 1200 but there isnt a day I dont exercise.So depending on what I do for exercise it can range anywhere from 1500 to over 2000.I do intense workouts which burns more calories and workout at least an hour a day unless I have time for more(like I did today that you commented on..LOL) I hardly ever eat back all my calories I burn off though.And I read somewhere if you switch it up,like eat 1400 1 day then like 1700 another and lower the next..it confuses your body so you get out of the rut / plateau .
