Hello Everyone!
This thread is really just for me, to help me keep track of what I eat, what I drink, and how much I exercise while working towards a healthier life.
However, if anyone wishes to follow this thread I'd love any extra support!

A little about my self, I'm 19 years old. Currently a Criminal Justice Student at University. I've also suffered from Binge Eating Disorder since 2014.

*Goals*
Eat between 10am to 10pm.
Fast between 10pm to 10am
Keep calories between 1000 to 1300 on normal days
Keep calories under 2000 on cheat days (Only one per month, if any at all)
Workout 30 mins to an hour when possible. *Start running!*
Keep track of food and water intake (Goal 100+ oz per day!)

    They are some tight goals! Remember weightloss isn't linear! Best of luck!

    Eating that little isn't going to make you lose faster, it's unhealthy and will set you up for bingeing. At your weight you'd be losing 1.5 - 2 pounds per week eating 1600-1700 calories - but you have to log accurately and not cheat. It's nice to have realistic expectations and something to work towards, but for weight loss it's better to focus on behavior goals, because you can't control your weight directly, you can only control what you eat and drink and how much you exercise. How about every day hit your fat, protein and carb goals? Every day eat at least 2 different fruit and vegs? Every week try a new food or dish? Sit down for all meals?

    Help me out a bit here: is 107 lbs at the top of your healthy BMI range or at the bottom? i.e. what BMI are you at when you hit 107? At which point in your chart do you hit BMI ~25?

    It is impressive that you are so goal oriented and I note the tapering that you show as your weight loss advances, which is smart.

    What happens if you don't hit these goals @ 100%? Do you shrug and say I'll try again next week? Do you "re-dedicate", ratchet up, and try even harder? Do you give up disappointed? Do you realise that the second option would probably be counter productive given the issues you're battling?

    Are you aware that a loss of more than 1% of a person's body weight (maybe up to 1.5% per week while morbidly obese) is just about as fast as they should be trying to lose in order to maintain lean mass and minimise their chances of being negatively affected by their weight loss?

    In fact, most well respected web sites and a lot of people in the field would suggest that someone without a health team around them should probably limit themselves to deficits that don't exceed 20% of their TDEE (25% while obese) and that doing so would make it highly unlikely that they would reach loss rates as high as 1% of their body weight on a weekly basis?

    As mentioned above there are a lot of healthy things that you can do where the results are directly determined by your actions and which will all lead you to eventually losing the weight you want.

    I'll follow to see what you do when your goals don't meet up. Could be as interesting as days of our lives!!!

    But in all seriousness, what will you do, if somehow, one of your planned out weeks goals, miraculously goes AWAL, will you adjust the other 30+ weeks every time it happens? Or will you just mark it off and try to aim for the next goal?

    I'm just asking because it doesn't matter how accurately I've followed my diet, calories and burns, my weight is always completely far off from what the math suggest. Including weeks where i've gained 10lbs(waterweight thank god) then lost 6, then stalled, then gained 3 and lost 7. XD

    I've now learn to just let it happen and go with the flow.

    What is your height and current weight if you don't mind me asking? 107 is an extremely low weight unless you're under 5ft tall... 1000-1300 is also very low. You should never aim to eat less than 1200, especially if you're coming from a binge ED past. Calculate your TDEE and eat about 20% less than that. Make sure you're eating back half of your exercise calories as well. Take your weight loss week by week. Setting goals is good, but having very tight, specific goals may lead to getting discouraged and giving up if you have a bad or don't meet the weekly goal you have in place. Best of luck to you!

    Please be advised that many women retain water at ovulation and premenstrually, which will throw your goals off.

    Because of this (and because Lyle McDonald said to) I compare myself to last month, not last week.

    Way to set up your goals.

    I make mine in 5lb intervals with no real set time limit. Helps me to not be disappointed if I don't hit the number I want every week.

    Best of luck to you on your journey!

    Trying to lose, for example, 1 lb on 6/2 and 2 lbs on 6/9 seems extremely arbitrary to me. Like so many others have said, setting all of these very aggressive microgoals seems like you are setting yourself up to disappointment, which is one of the easiest ways to get sidetracked. I am a big fan of smaller goals to break up the monotony of a large one, but more in the several month range than just week to week. And I have some insight into what you're trying to do--my "one year" goal is almost the same as yours, 67 lbs, from 217 to 150, and I'm currently at 167, exactly 50 lbs lost with three and a half months to go. But my weight loss is NOT linear. Some weeks I don't lose any weight (sometimes despite doing everything perfectly, and sometimes because I slipped up). You have to be ready for that, but you have to not let that get your discouraged. It's a marathon, not a sprint!

    Dear lovely little Tina you would look absolutely beautiful at 135 even that is feasible, take a little at a time. And an eating disorder is a monster so kudos to you for fighting it, for one who knows how painful it can be. You can do this .
