Hello! I'm Rox, and I'm 17 years old. First of all I would like to say how happy I am to have discovered MFP. My story with weight dates back from the bronze era... As a kid, I was lean. When I started school, I also started a new bad habit:chips.pizza.fastfood. Then I got very very sick of it, and grades 6-8 found me eating 200 calories a day. By 8th grade I was down to 48 kgs( I'm 1.74m) and very weak. In highschool, I got betterbut the weight crept back slowly: 9th grade:53, 10th:55, 11th:60. Now I'm back to the weight I started from, pre-anorexia( I was shorter back then, true.) I've tried the Montignac method, which worked BUT I love light coke. Take anything away from me, just not my coke. So the montignac got me 2 kilograms lower(58) but then I failed, and if I had a very small sin a day, 2-3 days of effort were busted. Come summer and my CPE exam, I was 62. With the help of aerobics( first time in my life I've ever exercised routinely and seriously- two times a week) I got down to an unsteady 60, which tends to escalate to 61-62. For about a week I've been eating 900 calories a day(or around that). I think my anorexia days screwed up my metabolism. I should normally maintain at 1400 calories-but that's what I ate that got me here! With the 900 I lost 1 kg and I'm down to 60 again. It won't budge. Yesterday I worked out and ate 650 calories-nada this morning.

Another issue is that I have a rather...large, rounded butt. The rest of my body is OK. My tops are size S and my trousers are L. When I measure it, it's OK but its shape makes it seem HUGE because it extends back(I don't have large hips). I would like to ask you-what would you do in my place? I would like to be at 58 or less kgs for my 18th birthday. How would you approach the challenge? Do you have any advice for me concerning my 'bump'? Thank you in advance!
