The calorie limit is different for everyone dear, it's not just depend on your height and weight. It also depends on your metabolism and daily activities. A secretary that just sit all day maybe need 1000 cal diet too loose 1 pound a week, but a dancer who is training hard dancing 8 hours a day, maybe just have to limit her calorie intake at 2000 cal.
One of my friends is a runway model and she told me this : Do you know why me and most of the models are very thin? Imagine yourself everyday sleeping at 1 am and have to wake up at 5 am, exercise, then go to few casting all around the city, some rehearsal, and then the show, the after party, etc. With that kind of exhausting activites, I don't need a dietician to lose weight. Sometimes you don't even have time to eat! I can eat a Big Mac or Pizza for dinner and keep slimming dow!
You also have to consider the balance ingredients of what you eat, carbohydrates, fat, protein, vitamins, fiber, etc. Not just calories. You should consult a dietician or try several menu guides from weight loss books or weight loss sites.

good luck with that. you are the perfect weight for someone who is 5'5'', any lower than 130 would be underweight and unhealthy. you could try to tone up though, no need to watch ur calories as long as you are between 1500-2000 a day.

you get carry of it woman, basically attempt to reduce greasy nutrition, (and sugar is a tremendous one) out of your nutrition routine, attempt to eat alot of vegetables, and in case you initiate yearning some sugar eat some fruit, (they have organic sugars) that can assist alot. Plus in the adventure that your no longer an excercising style basically attempt to flow for walks, daily walks can assist, even if its somewhat of of excercise an afternoon. also in the adventure that your into salads stay faraway from the creamy dressings like ranch and ceaser and keep on with the vinigery/oil ones like italian.

keep in mind the following when trying to lose weight:

Diets and changing your eating to healthy food choices can work but because we know so little about ourselves and our relationship with food, it makes it difficult to win the battle. A lot of us have problems with dieting because we have a problem called "emotional eating" we eat to comfort ourselves during difficult, stressful, sad, etc times in our lives.

You may experience all those emotions during dieting as we continuously get on the scale hoping to see a big difference in numbers after dieting only for a day or two. Also what is stressful when dieting is that we try to lose a large number of weight in such a short period of time which in most cases is unreasonable.

This all brings about stress, discomfort and sadness. When we feel this way, we turn to our best friend for help and support which for many of us is food. The diet is now broken and we feel that we can't stick to diets. We then try fad diet after fad diet hoping to lose the original 20 pounds and now we may have as much as 30 pounds to lose because we continue to put on weight as we continue to break these fad diets by binging before starting our next diet.

Please learn about your relationship with food before your next diet so that you may achieve your goals. To help a little, keep in mind the following:

You already know how to lose weight. You know that if you eat less and exercise more eventually you’ll see the pounds come off. What’s getting in your way? Why do you usually regain the weight you lost? The answer to all these questions is the same “Emotional Eating.” Simply defined, emotional eating means you eat to satisfy emotional hunger; it means you use food for comfort or as a way to cope with life; and it means you eat for reasons other than what your body needs. Whenever you reach for a boredom-breaking snack despite your commitment, or whenever you eat to quell anxiety, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you binge after a fight, or double up on portions because your day turned sour, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you feel that sharp craving for your favorite food, that’s emotional eating. When we eat during these times while on a diet, we believe the diet doesn’t work or that we lack self control and then look for the quickest way to lose weight (fasting/diet pills, ect) after eating all we can since we already messed the diet day up. Read the information below but remember that emotional eating plays a big part in why we don’t continue dieting and why we regain lost weight and why we binge today and start a new diet tomorrow. Best of Luck.

P.S. After learning about my relationship with food, I was able to drop my weight from 263 pounds down to 151 pounds which is a 112 pound weight lost.
