Best online calc to work out how many cals for petite ladies
Hi, I often think 1200 is too many cals for me to lose weight as I'm a petite female. Is there a good online calculator that takes height into consideration? Thank you

Any petite ladies around 136lb.....what's your goal
Hi there I'm 33 yr old female, weigh 136lb and Uk dress size 10/12 At my 'best' I weighed 120 and that felt right for me......I'm really struggling now to get back there and just wondered what other people's goals are I'm not too bothered about weight more focused on dress size Thank you
Legs!?
Hi there, I need to lose about 2 inch off my thighs and knees.....does anyone have any leg progress pics to prove its poss, and how you did it? Huge thanks
Skinny jeans
Ok, I'm 5ft and 136lbs, I am a UK size 10/12 which I think is US 8.....my widest part of thigh is 23" Would skinny jeans be wrong??
Fat knees??
Hi, So I have always had thick legs but also seem to have fat knees (inside of leg and directly above) I've been running for 8 weeks now and no change (4-8 k per week) Has anyone successfully got rid of fat knees and how? Ps....I'm 33, female and 5ft in height Thank you
Motivation leg pictures anyone?
Hi there I'm desperate to get more toned legs and lose inches around me knees and thighs. Does anyone have any leg / knee before and after pics they could share and what you did to get results Thanks sooooooo much in advance
How much running
Hi all I started running 8 weeks back, I can currently run 6 miles, I also go to a boot camp once a week. If I stick to 1200 calls per day how much running do I need to do until I start seeing inch loss? I have a dress size to loose and Pettite....hence low cal range
My downfall is really getting to me!
I'm so annoyed with myself! I hate my body, it's by no means the worse but to me I hate it. I have always struggled to get below the weight I'm at, I maintain it really well but can't loose. I've taken up running and joined a boot camp so I'm trying there........but I can't get over my downfall....weekends!! I do so well…
Thick / chunky legs.....what do you class this as
Hi I've always hated with a passion my legs, deep down I know they will never be really slim however hard I diet as I've always been like it....as a child... And even when I was underweight I'm 5ft, uk size 10/12 and my calfs are 14", above knee 17" and thighs 23" If I had the money I wouldn't think twice about liposuction…
