    1. First, hating yourself into losing weight rarely ever works. Like it was pointed out, you are barely overweight. You are not "fat". You are not destined to be "fat". A little self love and self acceptance would do you a lot of good. Focus on the good parts of your body. Focus on what your body can do, what your brain can do, focus on so much more than your visible appearance. Running can be great. Set distance and speed goals. Appreciate how efficient your body is. Appreciate that you CAN run, a lot of people are physically unable to. If you don't like running find an active hobby you do like (biking, dancing, etc). Once you get to a healthy mindset regarding your body, then you can worry about the minor tweak in appearance you want.

    2. Second, how long have you been eating at 1600-1800 calories? It can often take a while for chases to occur.

    3. Third, how accurate are you being with your logging? You're not "forgetting" to log snacks, or drinks, visually estimating high calorie foods instead of weighing, etc?

    You asked pretty much the same this here.

    Was this thread originated by a bot? The linked post contains almost the exact same text in some places.

    It is almost verbatim especially when you get down the post later that I think was copied and pasted in this one.

    All I can say is that I made a promise to myself to check for these things.. last few days some "wierdness" going on in the MFP forums lately!

    What am I meant to do to be thin then? Log every single morsel I put into my mouth, become obsessed and develop an eating disorder? Been there, done that!

    Short answer. Yes.

    Question, Why do you equate maintaining an accurate food diary with obsession and eating disorders? Is it an eating disorder to know where your personal energy equation lays so you can use that knowledge to further your goals of weight loss or maintenance or even for some here weight gain for training purposes?

    Observation: Not sure exactly what you are looking for here. Sympathy? For strangers on the interwebs to tell you that hey, you aren't overweight? Just not sure what your agenda is here.

    I do not care how much you run, if you run a 1000 calories worth of miles a day and that's the way you try to stay in a deficit everyday... that don't work.

    I thought that's exactly how it worked...calories in, calories out. If you eat normal (maintenance) and burn 1000 calories running, wouldn't you be at deficit of 1000 calories? Maybe I'm not understanding what you're trying to say here...

    I think she's saying that's not a sustainable, long-term plan.

    I think she is saying how long can the OP run/jog (not walk) 9 miles per day, day in and day out. A 150lb person would need to run 9 miles to burn 1089 calories.
