[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are eating too many calories.
Multiply the weight you want to be times 100. If you don't exercise, that is that amount of calories you can eat.
If you want to weigh 115, you can only eat 1150 plus however many calories you burn off via exercise, which is probably between 100 and 250. So you should only be consuming at most 1400 a day, on a day you exercise.
By my calculation, you are consuming around 1600 NOT including "small portion of dinner."
Sorry but you are eating too much.[/quote]

I should add, this advice is from my sibling who is a doctor. She also says many short people have trouble with their weight because they don't understand how much less they are supposed to be eating. You can eat 100 calories for every additional inch. So if you are surrounded by taller family members and coworkers, you may think, "but I don't eat any more than they do!" Well yeah, but you are short, so you can't eat as much if you want to be thin.

Having said all this, 5'2 and 125 doesn't sound like terrible stats to me. Is your bmi 24 or below?[/quote]
