I did notice some helpful comments (I have thanked them in the post above!), but sadly, very few. Most have made out that a 50 lbs loss is absolute failure because I gained 8 lb back, (4 of which I gained in the last week from a binge and which I'll probably be able to lose relatively fast!). I realise now that posting on…

I'm trying to eat 1300 calories, losing weight at a rate of 1 lb every 2-3 weeks - that is too low for me, as I am hungry at night, hence the temptation to binge. I gain weight when I binge, not by eating 1300 calories. So, if I workout, I should get to increase my calories right? As to the hypochondriac comments, it seems…

Thanks for all the helpful replies. I am joining the gym, will increase my calories and hopefully will be able to stick to it for longer this time around. Perhaps I'll aim for between 3-6 days of exercise, instead of 5 days every week. To the people who 'wooed' all of my comments. I don't quite understand why that is, but…

The last time I saw my doctor was when I was 13/14, when I first joined up. I've rarely been sick, maybe the odd cold/flu, and I never take medication, not even paracetamol. I have never been since and have never been invited to a checkup. Even if I was, I would refuse. I don't like people invading my private space, I…

I ate around 1700 calories, during those almost 2 weeks, but the last 3 days of that 2-week break, I ended up binge eating. Prior to this diet break I was eating 1200 calories, so it was more than enough of an increase. I was also working out 5 days a week, hence the larger amount of calories. Also, I wanted to add that…

Perhaps they do, but I think it would be the nurse you'd see, not doctor. Also, I'm 21 so they don't for my age.

I'm 5'1, 21, totally inactive. I may as well be lying down all down, I barely move a muscle. I have a much higher % of fat than most people this weight, which is a real problem. Of course I know I need to work out, but how do I stick to it? That is what I find so difficult.

That's exactly what I was doing, for almost 2 years. I thought I had made it a lifestyle, until the sudden urge to binge began.

I've only been working on it most of my life! Hopefully get there soon :smile:

I see what you're saying, I agree with it, but I only wish I could somehow get myself to do what I know I should. I have joined the gym, managed to go regularly for a month, maybe just over, then I give up. I've tried YouTube workouts at home, again managed to do it regularly for a month or so, then I stop and give up.…

I don't even think they do checkups, not for people my age. Think that's for people 50+, or maybe 40+ in the UK. I've never had a reason to go thankfully, so I've just kept her.

I have a all or nothing mentality. I think if I'm making my way there, then I might as well make the most of it. Plus, I'm usually very motivated for a month or so, before I give up.

I can't bear the thought of never being slim. I've been struggling with it so long, since I was 9/10 years old. I was almost there, but have messed up. I don't know why, but I know that I have to try again to get back at least to what I was last summer. I guess I ought to exercise, but I hate every form of it. I barely…

Thanks, but I saw that video in October. I then did a 2-week diet break, joined the gym, worked out 5 days a week, and ate at what I thought were my maintenance calories. However, it didn't help. I felt hungrier than ever, even though I had increased my calories so much, then I binge ate for 3 days straight and went back…

115 lbs looks very large on me as I'm only 5'1 and I have a larger percentage of fat compared to most people. I've never enjoyed exercise, so weight loss was exclusively through changing my diet only. Even at 107 lbs I had a lot of excess fat compared to most people that weight.

I haven't seen my doctor since I was a teenager, many years ago. I don't intend to go see her now, she's unhelpful and rude. I want to help myself, before I regain all the weight back.
