My twin is 5'2" and she is 108 and is healthy. I couldn't see her any smaller. I would be careful about being that skinny as a goal. Now mind you, you sound like you are not thin-boned so 100 may be too small/unhealthy for you. I'm 4'9" so you cannot go by me and i am considered under wieght (I don't look it though) but I…

GeekJock, Is that why I am not hungry? Interesting! I unfortunately am afraid to eat more once I feel full because I get abdominal cramping due to scar tissue and strictures on my small intestines.

My BMR on this site is 949! But then again I'm 4'9" 82 lbs. I average at 800 calories a day and like Ms. Bateman, I do not feel hungry. I truly believe that a BMR of 949 is high for me because i have fatty fibrous tissue in place of many of my muscles (mainly legs). It's a disability. So I do wonder that because i have…

Low fiber (high cal if you can, as I never reach over 800 calories a day)

This is an awesome idea! I am a budding cook. I may be 37 but I started to learn how to cook a year ago. I only enjoy cooking on the weekend. I cook for the whole week (I'm by myself). So because i cook for the week, can you suggest some casserole type dishes that are low in fiber? The low fiber requirement is for medical…

I fortunately have not had this happen to me but then again I have lost in a year and a half, 12 lbs. Now that isn't much but on my small 4'9" frame it is. I think your 'friends' are just jealous they want to lose the weight too but cannot find the motivation. But be careful of talking about your weight loss too much or "I…

The book called The Portion Teller has this wonder chart of food portions in coloration with everyday items such as a deck or cards (fish steak size or chicken) ... to a baseball is the same size as a cup. If all else fails, I use my fist. :)

Hello! I'm 4'9" and I have heard that all the calculations that are used for BMI and such cannot apply to use small folks ... along with the limit of 1200 calories a day. I'm 82lbs and on the BMI scale, I'm underweight ... NO I'm a perfect weight. I was once up to 97 (my heaviest) and I agree: any small amount of weight…

I agree. Get a second opinion and see a nutritionist!!!! I am under the care of a nutritionist who has seen my food log (I printed it out for her from here). Even though I struggle to get past 800, she says I am healthy looking and my logs show I am eating healthy foods. I struggle for medical reasons...not anorexia. I…

I'm 4'9" (83 lbs) and at 36 (almost 37) I get mistaken for 26. It's bad for my career but what can I do? If I was taller, I am sure I would look more like me age.

I'm below 5' (4'9") and I NEVER reach my 1200 calories... I average between 800 to 900. Believe me, I try. But I'm on the 'eat as small as your fist every 2 hours' diet because of medical reasons.

I'm a 4'9" 85 lbs woman who wants to maintain her weight. This discussion is very interesting to me as my BMR is 949 BUT I am not sure if it takes into account my muscle disorder (does it matter?). I have fatty fibrous tissue in place of some muscle. My legs are very thin. I have just enough muscle strength to walk (not…

I'm supposed to be on a 1200 calorie diet but I struggle to eat 900. I have special circumstances though. I've been averaging about 800 calories and i have started to incorporate juice drinks for calories.
