I love when someone comes to MFP and says they've gained 2 lbs over the past 6 weeks...... and people respond with "eat more" and "starvation mode."
Jesus.
8 pound 6 oz Jesus, or big crucified Jesus?0 -

You are gaining because you are either eating more than you think, or working out less than you think. Possibly both.0

1200 cal and 500-800 cals burned 5-6 days a week?
If this is accurate you've definitely got metabolic damage. Your net calories isn't even enough for proper organ function.
I'd increase my calories if I were you. Then you will probably start losing weight. Doesn't sound right I know but that's how it works.
Gotta fuel the fire.
This guy gets it0 -
are you sure you're really burning that many calories? Are you sure you're accurate in how many calories are in the foods you're eating?0

Without a doubt the must frustrating and annoying aspect of MFP.0 -
Mostly like over estimating burn, underestimating food. If you really are eating that little, you most likely are doing a lot of damage. You probably need a diet break. You can't live in a deficit your whole life. Especially not one that large. But I have a feeling your numbers are off.0

500 cal burn workout is like the equivalent of working out at a SPRINT pace for 50 minutes. I'm thinking you're burning way less than you think. Also, your body is in starvation mode. 1200 cal intake for working out 6 days a week is way too low. Eating that few lowers your metabolism and has a counter affect. I would also try shorter but more intense workouts as a change.
''Starvation mode'' doesn't happened unless you're at a low body weight..0 -
Open your diary OP, without seeing your diary, nobody can comment with confidence.0

Plenty of people have been commenting with no shortage of confidence. Confidence isn't the issue :laugh:0 -

''Starvation mode'' doesn't happen

i was always told that i should eat more to lose. maybe add a few hundred cals for about a week or so to see if there is a change. like this week add 200 cals and continue doing your workouts, then see what happens after 2 weeks or so. good luck.:flowerforyou:0

I've got $10 that says the OP isn't even logging consistently.
Any takers?0 -

You mean to say you haven't read the blog/article that says this can happen? What are you, new to this site or something?!0 -

Have you had a COMPLETE Thyroid panel done? TSH, Free T4 and T3? Also a Measurement of serum thyroid autoantibodies and thyroglobulin to test for Hashimotos Thyroiditis (which I have but it didn't show up on just a TSH and but did on a titre). Hashimotos is FAMOUS for not showing up on TSH but a complete panel done by a specialist familiar will know EXACTLY what to look for and how to treat it! If you don't get the right answers from your PCP...move on to another. =D
AGREE, AGREE, AGREE. I had a situation similar to the OP's years ago (exercising like a crazy person, netting 500 calories or less a day, and still gaining 5 to 10 pounds a month). It was a raging case of hashimoto's - antibodies so high the lab stopped counting... If she is truly getting that much exercise and counting calories faithfully (gotta measure EVERYTHING), then a full workup with the list above should really be the next step.0
