Can anyone give advice --?

It looks like you are not eating enough. You should be NETTING at least 1200 calories a day.

I think you may have answered yourself..

how tall are you?

I think you are starving yourself. there is no reason to eat so few calories at your weight. i think your body is responding by holding on to everything. are you taking vitamins because I don't think you are getting enough daily nutrients either.

you are exercising and eating less than you need just for sustenance. The reason they say not to go below 1200 calories is because of nutrients. you basically need to be supplementing heavily at that point and it's meant only for people that really have a lot of weight to lose.

you should have your macros to go no more than half a pound a week and you should be eating your daily calories up to that point. (and really your current weight is nothing to be ashamed of for any height)

I remember being 21.. I remember the importance of this to someone your age. I remember wanting to starve myself to get to 115.. but believe me. you're beautiful at 130 or at 115. You may not think so but from an outsiders perspective it's true.

(I don't expect you to listen to me, I'd have totally ignored this advice. LOL)

But you have your example from last year. You were eating more and weighed less.. it's your metabolism not thinking it's starving and getting all the proper nutrients that lets the weight go down.

unless you overate by about 14000 calories I wouldn't worry too much about 5lbs overnight, your weight is bound to fluctuate

If you gaied 5 lbs overnight, you gained 5 lbs of water. There is no possible way you ate enough for it to be anything else.

Firstly, you don't seem to be eating enough. If your body doesn't get the calories it needs, it will start to store what food it does get as fat. This is starvation mode. Up your calories by about 200 a day, eat back at least half of your exercise calories - if you're hungry, then eat.

Secondly, if you put weight on overnight, that will be down to sodium. Weight fluctuates on a daily basis. You shouldn't weight yourself daily, especially if you can't take the negative reading.

Start lifting some weights, and you'll notice that as opposed to weight loss, you will start losing inches, toning muscle, etc.

Ugh I've already gained so much weight though haha. Crap. I wonder how long it will take before I can lose again.

The thing is, even if I'm logging incorrectly now, I would have been logging incorrectly then.

How recent is your profile piccie OP and how recent is the other photo you have on your profile?

You have an eating disorder and body dysmorphic disorder if you think you are eating enough and need to lose weight. Please seek professional help.

some of your meals look okay, but you seem to use over half your cals daily on chocolate and peanut butter. while I love chocolate and PB maybe try eating more of the other, good foods, like your salads etc. You can still have your choc/pb esp as you have a LOT of cals left to fill but maybe the quantities are shooting out your fats etc? More real food, more water is my advice

Are you weighing your food?

I have my calories set to net 1270 but I rarely reach it. Is my metabolism permanently screwed? I've already gained a ton of weight since last year so I'm worried about this. Is there a way to fix it without gaining a ton of weight? I figure there must be some way I'm eating too much because if you eat more than you burn you gain weight, right? But if I eat any less I get really unhappy.

Gaining 5lbs + overnight is bleh though. 2 weeks ago I was 123. It's just kind of BS I have no idea where I'm going wrong.

I take a multitude of vitamins haha. A multi, folic acid, magnesium + calcium, and recently I started a kelp supplement. My weight gain issues began way before the kelp though.

You already know you need to eat more. I would set your calories tomorrow to 1400 and meet it every single day for a month. Don't weigh yourself at all during that time. Log everything accurately. You will gain a couple lbs at first but you NEED to let your body adjust and if you respond by cutting calories again it will have been for nothing and you'll struggle losing those new lbs...so just get away from the scale and eat properly for a month. After that, I would probably go to 1500 and do the same thing again...but you can reassess at that point.

It's NOT permanently damaged, but it will take time to fix.

Now....as for the weight gain.....I know how I gained weight when I turned 21 and it was related to bars that served $6 32oz margaritas and late-night cheese fries. Is there any of that that you haven't been logging?

Anyone? Anyone

Do you not know that EVERYONE on here is an expert

I'd advise seeking help since you don't need to loose any weight. Loose anymore and you'll look skeleton thin.
