Losing Weight After Borderline Eating Disorder

Hello MFP World! After losing weight for a year, last year I hit a low. Admittedly, I was eating very few calories and taking herbal cleanse pills for months on end. I've stopped this pills (one month without one!) and I've been eating more since September. I have my TOM again, so my body seems to be working properly again. My doctor said I only needed to gain 5 pounds, but now I am up 10 and I can't seem to lose that five extra. I eat clean, workout 5-6 times per week, but I can't lose anything, even though I'm way under my recommended calorie goals. Has this happened to anyone and if so, what worked for you. I really don't want to fall back in to unhealthy habits, but the frustration is getting to me. Any tips would be great!

    If I were you, I would quit worrying about that extra 5lbs, and embrace it....A "success" if you will...
