My story.. Period gone, just really need advice?

You need advice. But not from us. Go see a doctor/your GP to get you back on track. Please.

I agree you will do best with some medical support here cause you are on a slippery slope. If it helps I am 5'4"and 107lbs so still in the underweight category. I started mfp at 97lbs and needed to eat 2300 PLUS exercise cals over about 12 weeks to gain 10lb. I have seen girls in recovery eating closer to 2500-3000 with restricted exercise. (I never had an ED just a fast metabolism) right now just to maintain I'm between 20-2100 plus exercise, so as you know you really are way way below what's healthy! Honestly as you need to gain I'd say at least 2300. But I understand that's a huge leap so I would aim to go at minimum 1200 plus exercise. And up your healthy fats as they are your friend. But I highly highly advise professional support here, you need a Dr, a nutritionist and therapist. Even at 97 I still had a period so you are in a bad place.

Best of luck!

Agreeing with going to see your doctor. Most importantly you've made the first step which is ackowlodging yu have a problem. You an beat this! *hugs*

What you are doing is going to either cause you to become fat or dead, if you keep it up for any amount of time. I'm assuming you know that because you are here asking for advice. If you are in fear of becoming fat if you quit dieting, there are some strategies that you can try to increase your nutrients while keeping calories fairly low.

First, make sure you are eating enough protein. For the amount of exercise you engage in, try for 1 gram for every pound of body weight. So in your case, that would be 114 grams of protein a day. Fish, eggs, soy and whey protein supplements are a low calorie way to get this amount into your diet daily.

Next, you need to focus on nutrient dense veggies. Anything that has a nice dark color like greens (spinach, collards, kale, watercress, parsley etc) will have a lot of vitamin power for the calorie load. If you are going to binge, eat a big bowl of broccoli. That'll fill you up, but won't add much at all to your overall calories. One cup of broccoli is only 36 calories and is so full of good nutrients it's crazy!

Next, you are going to need some good energy foods to power through all those workouts. Fruit should be high on your list as it is an excellent source of energy without carrying much in the way of calories. Strawberries (or any berries really), cantaloupe, and apples and pears are excellent sources of energy and have a low glycemic load (This means your body uses the sugars for energy, so basically like being sugar free). Grapefruit is also a good fat burner when combined with caffeine (try eating a grapefruit and then having some green tea).

Try to add in some yogurt or other dairy several times a week and/or take a calcium supplement to protect your bones. Low calorie eating can really screw up a person's bone density. You don't want to break a hip on the treadmill do you? Since your period stopped this is really important. Your body is feeding off your bones, organs and muscles to survive right now and you need to begin rebuilding those cellular structures.

Finally, set aside one day a week where you allow yourself to eat whatever you want, guilt free. There is evidence that one binge day a week where you indulge your cravings is very, very healthy. This adds in all your micronutrients you've missed throughout the week and can make your skin, nails and hair look amazing. It is also good for your brain. The brain runs on saturated fats, and having a few on a binge day will make you smarter and protect you from mental illness.

I'm in the same boat! My last period was in February. I think both of us are experiencing secondary amenorrhea, which is when your period stops due to stress, low body weight, and/or excessive exercise.
I have my annual check-up with my doctor tomorrow (or...today, since it's past midnight) so I'll ask her about it and share the results. But definitely check with your doctor, too.

Your period stopping is not a good sign, you need to nourish your body and take care of it. Make sure you are meeting nutrient requirements. I recommend that you read this article http://www.wannabebig.com/diet-and-nutrition/the-dirt-on-clean-eating/

Also, I am like you you obsessed with eating healthy and if I mess up, I binge, and it becomes a cycle of over-eating and restricting, but after I read the article I learned that you need to eat in moderation and that the ultimate goal is to meet your nutrient reqs. If you cannot by food, I recommend that you supplement (but do not rely on supplements solely). Good luck

i hate to be an echo .. but .. go see a doctor ...

if you want just go to a walk in clinic and talk to who ever is on call ... it would be best to see your family doctor but .. still talk any doctor ...

^^^ could not have said it better myself!

your doc might be able to refer you to someone who specialises in this.

i'd suggest you start taking a really good multi-vitamin & mineral today though. and if you're having a bad food day there are high energy meal replacement shakes & soups for people (usually invalids & the elderly) who struggle to eat. eggs & dairy are good things to add to your diet.

your bone density will have been reduced by your lack of food soyou need plenty of calcium in your diet

...why am i saying this? becuse i've been there and i know there's no way i would have gone to the dr at that point. you SHOULD go though.

in addition to seeing your doc, you may want to also see a counselor who specializes in eating disorders. Get support from every angle. Sending it from here! :flowerforyou:

Yea lady, you really need to see a doc. : (

A lot of my dietary choices and work out choices caused me to have an abnormal menstruation, which means I'm not even ovulating. 10 years later, my husband and I are still struggling to try and have a baby. This isn't something that needs to wait, it is extremely serious.

I started adding juices to my diet. Juices like the "mean green" from Fat ,Sick, & Nearly dead which assisted in regulating my periods again. I'm still failing to ovulate.

Go see a doctor.
Please,

^^this!!!!

It's called amenorrhea.

ETA: It will come back slowly (and usually not right away) as soon as your health improves.
