When I go out for Thai food I usually get Pho.

I do have a food scale. It was a huge help last year and I'm continuing to use it this time around.

I guess I will just have to try it out for a little bit and see what happens.

I'm not 5'3 but, 5'4 and I typically eat 1350 a day. Lost 25 already and about 10-15 to go.

Went pants shopping the other day and found out that I am now a size 2! When I started I was an 8.

@KudraM I used IIFYM. Those aren't the exact numbers it gave me, but as close as I could get on the free version of Myfitnesspal.

Finding out that I am now a size 4 in pants and a small or medium in tops (used to be a size 8 with large/x-Large tops)

If you have access to the nutrition information for the dining hall definitely use it. Most of the foods my dining hall has are in the database here (Aramark). As for snacks, I keep oatmeal, bananas, apples, yogurt and rice cakes. I also have a bag of Hershey kisses for when I want something sweet. Also I told all of my…

Thanks everyone!

Make sure you are weighing and logging everything you eat! You are probably eating more than you think.

Why are you eating 900 calories? The lowest recommended calorie intake recommended is 1200 for women and 1500 for men. Are you being monitored by a doctor? As for the plateau, are you weighing and logging everything you eat? If not you are probably eating more than you think.

Awe shucks :D

Most definitely my face and stomach.

Thanks everyone!

How do you know you aren't going over 1200 calories a day? If you aren't measuring your food on a food scale and logging it I don't see how you could possibly know how many calories you are eating. It is very likely you are eating more food and are not burning as many calories as you think.

If you are in a clinic for an eating disorder I would not recommend using this website or any calorie tracking sites. As the poster above asked, is your team aware that you are tracking your calories? Tracking calories can be extremely triggering.

I would definitely recommend eating more! I'm 5'4 and I can't even handle a 1200 calorie goal. I usually eat anywhere from 1400-1600 plus exercise 3-6 times a week. There's no need to rush it! Make sure you are weighing all of you food and logging properly as well. Good luck!

My dining hall food is about the same. I don't get pasta often because of the oil they cook it in. Breakfast is usually fine. For lunch I can get a sandwich, its just dinner I struggle with because there aren't a ton of options, so a lot of the time I just end up having cereal, or a bagel.

Also that link is really helpful! Thank you.

I haven't really lost anything since back in September when I started climbing. It's probably just my logging though.

I usually try to do this too! I would rather overestimate than underestimate.

Alright, thanks! I'm still trying to tighten up my logging now that I am back at school and don't have my scale anymore. So I will just keep at it and see how it goes.

Gold Bond sells an anti-chaffing deodorant like stick. That's my go to.

I eat 3 meals a day with a few small snacks in between (fruit, yogurt, etc.), but It all depends what works for you!

I love this stuff! You could also try freezing it with a Popsicle stick in it to make it easier to eat when frozen.
