It may be a scam but I take that stuff if I feel like I'm about to get sick. It has worked for me. It was just a suggestion.

I seriously recommend AirBorne or EmergenC. I some how managed to avoid the cold/flu and I go to work, gym, and have nephews who are constantly sick (*knock on wood*). EmergenC saves me every year. At the first sign of something coming on, I drink a full glass of that stuff.

There's no room for that kind of talk in here!! <3 You're beautiful at every size. Just find your starting point. You got this.
-
I feel like your maintenance calories can go up some at your height for sure. Maybe try and increase your calories about 25-50 per week or two and see if you can get those maintenance calories back up!
-
That's sweet. Thank you. That was during my higher eating days (close to 3000 calories) so I'm happy to have lost some more fluff since dropping to 2500.
-
Just rest and try to pin point why you keep getting sick? Are you lacking some nutrients? Do you have kiddos? Maybe start stocking up on some EmergenC so you don't get sick again!
-
I pay more attention to macros than I do calories because sometimes the calories don't match up to the macros. But that's just me. I like to make sure I'm getting in enough protein and fat.

Everyone carries weight differently. I'm taller than you and wear a size 12 but a size medium in shirts. haha My tata's went away when I lost weight.
-
I'm 6'0". Goal weight is 170 right now (currently around 175 and 23%BF). I've been as low as 165 but starting weight was 190. I'm sort of maintaining but if I lose along the way, then that's fine. I'm eating around 2500 calories.

One of my binge foods is halo top ice cream. I eat a whole pint but the pints are only 240-360 calories so even when I eat the whole thing, it's not as bad as a whole pint of ben and jerrys
-
I do my best to track the day after a binge. That way, I go right back to my normal eating the next day but I take the time to log what I can remember I ate from the previous day. Not to make myself feel guilty but more or less a realization that I did it and I need to move on. Then, when the weight hasn't moved in a week,…

This is how I feel. The more you get to eat during a bulk, the harder it is to cut. I used to eat 1300-1600 calories and it was manageable. Now, I find it hard to eat less than 2100. ugh
-
I just wanted to pop back in and say that I officially got my period this week. Over a year with hypothlamic amenorrhea and 45 days after reducing my exercising and eating more (2500-3000 calories). I will drop down to maintenance of 2500 calories and increase my weight lifting again while still avoiding cardio until my…

Same here.

Winter is easier for me because not a lot of my friends go out in the winter so I don't have parties to go to or dinners at restaurants that I can't estimate the calories with because no one leave's their house! I lost most of my weight last year between January and May before the graduation, memorial day, 4th of july,…

I can't answer this for you but if it makes you feel better, it ignores height for tall people as well. My BMR is 1650 and it says to lose 2 lbs a week, I would have to eat 1200 calories which is way less than my BMR. No Way Jose!! I would put my body in a total panic if I ate that low.
-
I have a condition called Hypothalamic Amenorrhea. It's caused from under eating, over exercising, stress to the body by both of these things and carb restriction. There's no one cause but the fact that I was eating 1500 calories this year, burning 600 calories, not eating those exercise calories back AND I'm 6'0" tall.…
-
Thank you. I understand that. However, some people don't know that. When I first started on hear, I set my activity to lightly active because I was working out 7 days a week but I had a sit down job. I set it at lightly active and then ate back my exercise calories.
-
I was a big advocate of not eating back my exercise calories for this past year but now, I've done more harm than good to my body by doing that. I thought since I was tracking my macros for say 1600 calories that I should always eat 1600 calories even if I burn 500-600. So, I was inevitably hurting my body that whole time.…

I wish I could have "awesomed" this post.
-
Welcome. Congrats on healing yourself this past year. I bet it feels good to be back in the gym. Good luck with everything.
-
Thank you. I'm part of that facebook group already thankfully. It's helped a lot as well as a fellow MFP friend who also has HA. She was successful and ended up having a beautiful baby boy. I like reading about the successess and I hope to be one soon. I'm glad to know that your body will show signs of hormonal activity…

^^^^ I know I'm not the OP but this is great advice. I got word right after I posted prior that my plan listed above was still too much. So, I'm dropping to 2 days of lifting and only yoga or walking until it comes back. It's funny you mentioned Paleo/Keto because I'm thinking that may have been the start of my issue. I…

Hey OP. I'm following this post since I was just diagnosed with HA and since I'm also not underweight, I wanted to see how you've been doing. I was just diagnosed with HA last Monday after getting off the pill in December of 2016 and not having a period since then. I'm 6'0" but I was eating around 1400-1500 for most of the…

FYI. KETO is not higher protein. In fact, it's much lower than you would think. Atkins I believe was the one with higher protein. But that's neither here nor there. OP. Get a food scale and weigh out your food. You're probably eating more than you think. There's really no point for you to go low carb unless 1. You want to…

Agreed that eating under 1000 is not healthy. Typically, if you are lowering your carbs, you could either up your protein or up your fats. Those are the three main macros. If you lower one, raise one or both of the others.. If you need to get more calories in, up your fat. They're 9 calories per gram of fat where it's 4…

I completely agree with this!!
