Hi all!

I'm a newbie to this site. A little info:

I'm 22 female, 5'2 and currently I weigh 135lb. I should get down to 121lb according to my trainer, before I can start adding some muscle mass to make this skinny fat body look somewhat better.

Now, the thing is: I'm eating 1000-1050 calories a day to do this. It sounds horrible I suppose. But it's not since I don't exercise at all at home. And when I do, I will drink all those calories burned back with a protein shake. I'm also filling that amount with whole, nutritious foods. Lots of protein and vegetables at every meal.

So I don't think I'll run into problems. My maintenance is only 1500 so it's not that drastic to lose 1lb a week.

I don't find a lot of communities supporting this, because they are pre-occupied with the 1200 minimum number for the average woman. I'm hoping this community will be different.

Leeanne.. There are lots of different support groups in this forum.. Look around im sure theres one just right for you...

There are lots of people here with all sorts of different calorie counts... Especially us shorter people. We tend to have to go lower than most. There is not a lot of judging here, and if people give advice that you know doesn't help you, don't use it. I don't find many people to get offended here when people do things differently, purbbodies all respond differently!
