I don't know how you can say that's impossible. I know for a fact that when I was younger, I would eat all the calories in the world and it didn't catch up to me for years. I barely moved either -- I'd stay inside all day on my computer. Yet I was underweight for my height until I physically matured and ballooned up. I'm…

Perhaps you misread or skipped over something - I've kept the part of the post you quoted that addressed the exercise vs. diet matter. By "slow metabolism" I mean that I don't have a very large build, so my BMR isn't very high. Also, I put on weight very, very easily - much more so than most of my peers. I'm a vegetarian,…

Wow, I really didn't expect this many responses when I posted this - thank you so much for all the advice and kind words. I do try to eat healthy and I don't need many calories or much food at all, seeing as I'm quite short. But what bothers me about diet is that it's so, so easy to lose track of how many chips you ate, or…

Now that you bring it up, I am usually really hungry around dinner time. It's more prominent on days when I do a lot of walking. I just got back from a trip abroad and I would be walking 5 or 6 miles a day plus climbing lots of stairs and by 6 or 7, I'd be absolutely ravenous. I haven't had too many problems with it lately…

Uhh, I'd rather not. I can inform you of them, but I don't want to make the diary public because I've had a rough past couple of weeks and am trying to get back on track, lol. Also, the past few weeks aren't the most accurate. Instead, is there any specific information I can retrieve for you?

Yeah. Yesterday I walked maybe 5 or 6 miles and it said I burned 800 calories o_O

According to MFP via Fitbit, I've burned 450 calories today, but all the exercise I did was walk about a mile and then walk up 6 floors to get to my apartment. That seems like a very generous guess, doesn't it? People say I should be eating back my exercise calories, but that strikes me as a bit much to eat back.

Then at .5 lbs: Sedentary: 1350 Lightly Active: 1540 Active: 1800 Again, I don't work out, but I walk on average 9,300 steps a day. I have no idea what I need to do besides fix my relationship with food. I don't know how I should be working out and I especially don't know how much I should be eating.

Sedentary: 1200 Lightly Active: 1290 Active: 1550 (Set to 1 lb/week) I don't know what category I fit into though...

A little update a couple of days after that big binge: so, I decided it would be best for my mental and physical health to make my daily calorie intake around 1450, and I installed Fitbit to help keep track of how much I'm walking so I can estimate how many calories I need to maintain and to lose. My average walking per…

Not to be rude, but you do realize that late teens goes up to 20, right? I'm old enough to be on here, I just want to keep some privacy. That's the problem, though...I can't even have certain things in the house anymore because I can't keep myself away. I'm afraid to buy myself ice cream and treat myself with it because I…

Binge eating disorder...I mean, that could be it, but I go months being just fine without any binging and then it hits me like a wall of bricks, it's not a constant thing. That's how I got to 125 in the first place. The natural weight of my body before I gained so much weight is around 105-110 I think, because I'm pretty…

Why is that?

...why? I set it to .5 and my goal is still 1200 :( (it was at 1 pound a week before) I really do, though. If I look at myself in natural sunlight, I just look terrible. I have cellulite all over my thighs, but it's worse in the back, and it's on my stomach, too. I've got love handles and pointy saddlebags. And I have…
