But if you are 5'3, then 80 something pounds is severely underweight.
I immediately thought you look like someone who is starving, then when I saw what you weigh I was concerned. But what really worries me is that it says "CW- current weight"..not "GW- goal weight".... which indicates that you wish to lose more. I'm scared for you. Your weight loss is up to you, I debated a long time over whether I should speak up and I wouldn't have said anything except that I'm worried you want to lose even more than that. Wishing you luck and health on your journey.
I very much agree.
I have to agree. If you weigh 80 pounds, you are grossly UNDERWEIGHT and this is terribly unhealthy for you. Please, please, please see a doctor and get some help. You will kill yourself if you don't do something.
Indeed! And considering your profile says you've lost even more weighing, 36kgs think you may have an eating disorder. You're eating 200-400cals a day and you say its to work your way up? Up from what? At your current weight you should be able to easily eat 1400-1600calories and not be so worried you'll gain. Worrying you'll gain when youre underweight already shows you have an eating disorder.
You then go on to say this one time you ate 3000calories. Yet again that shows binge then purge or in this case you starve again at 200cals.
Were not saying this to be rude. Were saying this as were worried for you. Were worried new members might read this as healthy when it's deadly. You need to really see a new professional and show them your food diary.
I was anorexic after my journey down from 245lbs, i was saying what you were saying. Even told my family the GP said i was fine. When i hadnt seen him since i was 10kg heavier. i've just gained back to a healthy weight at 19.6 bmi and my goal is around 21 with a BF% of 19.
Your BMI now is 13.6!!!! That isnt even close to healthy in singapore, it's considered dangerously underweight even when you list it on an extreamly small frame.
I know you keep protesting this. Thats what concerns me most. Please go see a new professional and stop losing weight. At 36kgs eating 200-400cals a day you're not going to survive and it breaks my heart to see a beautiful girl going down this path
all the best to you love.
her bmi is 15.2 at 86 pounds and 5'3", not 13.6.
Refer to the infomation on her profile. As i mentioned before, shes lost more weight.
Even at a BMI of 15.2 she isn't at a healthly weight, not even close. With the new information from her profile shes at a BMI of 13.6. So it's getting even lower.
Just trying to give a perspective from someone whos been there.

Hi all. I would just like to stress once again that my I am not using my ticker at all. My aim is to gain weight gradually. And I have never eaten 200-400 calories a day. I do not know where you got those numbers from. And my BMI is currently 15.2. It is low, I know. I set out to lose weight and reach a healthy one, but was careless, and just continued to lose the whole way, because I never felt hungry. I did not intentionally eat less food to the point of starvation. I have never done that to myself, because I enjoy eating. I have always seen food as essential for survival and well-being. I have mentioned many times that I joined MFP a month ago to track my calories when doctors gave me a clean bill of health, but I knew personally that my BMI is not high enough for me to be comfortable with. Hence, I decided to sign up for MFP to solely use the diary feature to ensure that I track and I up my calories gradually and healthily. I am working my calories up to maintenance, and then to gaining weight until I am back to my initial goal of around 50kg. I would greatly appreciate it if the insinuations that I have an ED or I purge cease, because I am guilty of neither. 36kg has never and will never be my goal, unless I suddenly turn into a 120cm person. I do not want anyone, especially someone who is new to MFP and looking to lose weight, to have a low BMI like mine, so please stop painting me as someone who is advocating for this.0

Is this thread about before and after photos for motivation, or a 4 page debate on one person's BMI? Seriously, leave her alone - she's heard your opinions so let's get back on topic.0

WOAHHHHHHHH.
What the absolute hell?!
Im absolutely ashamed of some of the comments on here. It seemed to have started off with gentle, genuine concern that was met with a genuine, detailed response. How lovely. That should have been end of story.
Endless 'YOURE SO THIN, ITS UNHEALTHY, YOULL DIEEEEEEE, YOU MUST GAIN RIGHT NOW' comments are completely unnecessary and abusive. She's already explained herself, many many more times and much more politely than I would have. If you're still posting messages, telling her what to do with her own body, then do not do so under the pretense of concern.
We are all here for a reason. We all have complicated or bad relationships with food. It would appear that Confetti here went a little too far. Get the hell off her case.
I also went a little too far with food, 70 pounds too far in fact, in the other direction. I'm sure we've all tripped at one point or another.
Much love to all the genuine concern and good comments on here. Apologies, body shaming REALLY gets my back up.0 -

Yes, please let's get back to the topic! I'm sorry that I contributed to the debacle by giving my opinion on the matter. @Bradders33 and @devlinv1 you look awesome! @dmgeurts that is fabulous how much you've done in that amount of time. You look awesome, too! Thank you for posting and I hope to see more.
Here is where I am, not so dramatic as others but I'm still proud of myself because I've never taken responsibility for my diet before. I ate horribly: lattes for breakfast and boxes of cookies for dinner, hardly any fresh veggies or fruits. I was always bloated, with headaches and problems with my heart rhythm/rate because of excess sugar, and I don't know how much longer my body was going to take it before showing serious consequences (regardless of weight).
June 2013, ~145 lbs
Today, 123 lbs (toilet photo-bomb, pay no mind)
Now to start working on getting some guns instead of floppy woman arms.

I don't feel good or proud of the way I look anymore, based on most comments. As they're apparently not inspiring, can anyone tell me how to take down pictures/if it's possible? I don't want to offend anyone anymore, and the focus of this thread should be based on celebrating the successes of those who inspire, not disgust, or scare, like I do. I don't want what I've posted to take any attention away from that. Any suggestions on how to delete my initial post would be much appreciated, thanks.
Just to put it out there, you're doing a great job of taking people's comments to heart and explaining your situation very clearly and calmly. You are not disgusting or scary, you are clearly a beautiful person and people just want you to stay alive and healthy so you can continue to be your awesome self for a long time to come
I think it's okay that your pics are up here, as well as the discussion, as long as it isn't too uncomfortable for you.0 -
Top left was my "rock bottom" moment at 152lbs, June 2012. To the right is ~125 lbs, April 2014.
The final two are
from ~September, 2014 at about ~117lbs.
Yes, I could have lost what I did a little faster but for me but I rollercoaster with my motivation so much so it took a bit longer. Getting back on the wagon again though, and hoping to have a much more successful toned up result.
Sorry about the rotation. File wasn't cooperating but you get the idea.0 -

I mean this very kindly, and I don't want you to take this harshly.
But if you are 5'3, then 80 something pounds is severely underweight.
I immediately thought you look like someone who is starving, then when I saw what you weigh I was concerned. But what really worries me is that it says "CW- current weight"..not "GW- goal weight".... which indicates that you wish to lose more. I'm scared for you. Your weight loss is up to you, I debated a long time over whether I should speak up and I wouldn't have said anything except that I'm worried you want to lose even more than that. Wishing you luck and health on your journey.
I am pleased you said it, as i thought the same.
Very much agree, way too low. I am 5'3" and look like a stick with boobs at 114 lbs, at 80 lbs I would be a skeleton.
I am not currently at 114, but was for many years. Haven't been 80 since grade school days.0 -
