    I am concerned as well. According to the BMI calculator, your weight is already in the unhealthy range. You should be between 98 and 130 pounds. I think we're all a little worried about you. Overweight is bad, but underweight presents its own health problems, and they are just as serious. My best friend was very underweight in the past, and last spring it contributed to other health issues and created a condition that put her in the hospital for a month. Almost a year later, she is still recovering.

    As for your question about going over on your calories... 300 calories is not huge. Keep in mind that to gain one pound in a week, you would have to average 500 calories over every single day. One day where you go over by less than 500 will not derail your diet.

    remember MFP typically gives you a 500 calorie deficit so eating 300 extra, you still have a 200 calorie deficit

    That's not really true. It gives you a deficit based on what you chose for your weekly goal, If you choose 2 lbs a week then it's 1000 calories, if you choose 1/2 a lb per week then it's 250. Course it won't go lower than 1200 so even if you choose 2 lbs a week, if 1000 calories a day brings you below 1200 calories, it will stop it at 1200.

    I have to agree with MOST of the responses here. I used to have an eating disorder and would do this same thing. I would go over calories and think I needed to workout extra hours, rather than accept it and try better the next day!

    I'm not 5'1'' and don't know what the appropriate weight scale is for someone who is, BUT if you are freaking out because of some extra calories. It doesn't sound good. Judging from a personal perspective. Also, where did these calories come from, ie what foods did you eat to get them. If they were veggies/fruits, there is no need to worry... but if you scarfed down a whooper with cheese, different story.

    My point is don't get crazy because of a few extra calories. An extra hour at the gym tomorrow doesn't make up for what you did today! Just try to do better tomorrow. and if you even have the slightest incling that you may have an eating disorder, you really shoule seek help. These issues can KILL you! You don't look too pretty when your dead!

    over 1200 is quite drastic to me
    when over eat like i did i tend to panick that people will say that i gained weight etc and i dont want that.
    i just like to be slim and skinny like i have always been my whole life being 98lbs and above for some reason scares me so much that i just exccercise it off
    thanks everyone for your conecern but i have noone in my whole life to talk about this at all im serious any time ive tried im stupid accordin to them

    This is why we're concerned. I know I we don't know each other but you sound a lot like my friend used to sound and that's why I'm concerned. The fear and panic you mention are red flags, and chances are if the people in your life say your calorie concerns are stupid, what they mean is they think you are too skinny to worry about weight. Please, please, please, when you see your doctor next, talk to him or her about this. My friend who was in the hospital experienced a heart attack and organ shutdown because when she got sick, she was too underweight for her body to maintain itself. I thank God for the miracles that kept her alive, but you can't depend on miracles every time.

    I agree 100%. Please talk to your doctor atleast, to make sure you are at a healthy weight, or atleast about a diet that provides you with the right amount of nutrients your body needs. If you don't wanna take anyone's advice, atleast just talk to your doctor and see what they have to say. Be honest and tell them about ur concerns, habits, etc.

    Based on your ticker and your profile pictures, I don't think you need to worry. It almost seems like you might have done yourself some good. Don't mean to sound offensive, but you look like you should gain a few pounds. Unless your pictures are misleading, you look extremely underweight.

    I agree. I don't know how tall you are or your body type, but I can't imagine 96 pounds being that good for anyone, let alone needing to lose any weight.

    Sweetie, I totally agree with these girls, I'm sorry.

    JMO... But "I tend to panick that people will say that I gained weight" IS NOT MENTALLY HEALTHY. Therefore you may go to extremes without even realizing that you ARE going to extremes! I highly encourage you to get to a healthy weight. Please!

    thats the funny thing i am in healhty weight i used to be 84lbs but i gained weight to be healthy 100lbs or more is not right for me thanks anyway :flowerforyou:

    REMEMBER THAT HAVING THE 'PERFECT BODY' HAS MORE TO DO WITH WHA T YOU WEIGH. IF YOUR BODY ISN'T RIGHT ON THE INSIDE, IT WILL NOT BE PERFECT ON THE OUTSIDE.
    I HEAR A LOT OF DENIAL THINGS/EXPLANATIONS IN YOUR RESPONSES. WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PANIC WHEN WE ARE REACHING TOWARDS A GOAL, AND FALL OFF SLIGHTLY, EVEN IF MOMENTARILY. JUST PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET A SECOND OPINION. IF NOT FROM AN ACTUAL FACE TO FACE NUTRITIONALIST, THEN FROM YOUR DOCTOR WHEN HE/SHE GETS BACK INTO THE OFFICE.
    BE BLESSED SWEETIE AND I TOO APPRECIATE ALL OF THE MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE PROVIDING FEEDBACK. THIS IS A GREAT SITE FOR SUPPORT AND INTERACTION ON OVERALL HEALTH ,FITNESS AND WELL BEING ! I'M GLAD I JOINED, AND ITS ONLY BEEN A WEEK!!

    I'm so glad you took all the responses in the way (I think) they were intended -- loving concern :flowerforyou:.

    You said your doctor is ill for another few weeks?? Are you saying you are waiting to see your doctor about your weight? I wasn't sure what that meant.

    Guys...she's not too tiny. She wears a size four, is only 5 feet 1, and used to only weigh 85. Give her a bit of a break.
    I'm not quite 5 feet tall and weigh 90, wear a 14 in girls...is that any reason to judge someone? And yes...this is all okay with my doctor.
    She does appear really thin...she should see a doctor but it's not right for you all to jump to conclusions that she has an eating disorder. Over-eating is also classified as an eating disorder...most people on the site are here for a reason, back off.
