I was actually following it as a career, and I realized I wanted to get a degree instead. I never really felt bad because I was always thin. I suppose I never really ate much to begin with.

This is incredible----THANK YOU

I have absolutely no idea... It just seemed like the weigh just kept coming on, no matter how hard I've tried to stop it.

oh of course not!!!! I'm out of the performing arts career so I really don't have any pressure to be thin, anyway. I just want to be healthy, and I had no idea how unhealthy I was still, even in my attempts to be "healthier"

let me explain a bit...I was running more in the past and before August, I was eating even less because I never felt hungry. and yes I have been on 1200 because I wanted to make sure I was eating enough, but I also have something called gastroparesis and I have it so badly that I couldn't eat vegetables until about 2 weeks…

yes I did...in fact, I started last year around this time running 2-3 times per week and ended up with a stress fracture, so I've had to build up to it. Thank you for your help!!!

Like I said, I am a former dancer and all my friends eat 700 calories a day and run 6-8 miles, so I thought I was doing quite a lot in terms of calorie consumption/less exercise.

good to know. thank you!

I didn't realize it wasn't enough! Even my nutritionist told me to stay around 1200 because we don't really realize how little we burn.

thank you! I do put everything into a measuring cup before I eat it, especially with soups and what not, so I really am very exact on what I eat, but with that still in mind, I'll definitely take into account that this is too little...I just originally thought that I was basing it on the 1000 calorie deficit. Thank you

thank you :) I used to be a ballet dancer, but I stopped recently, so maybe I will reincorporate some of those activities.

oh wow, thank you so much...I had no idea I was eating so much under what I should be...

nope, I don't have one (active pill) so that is definitely not the case

I really just stick to the 1200 and don't really eat anything back...fitbit has a tracking part for daily calorie expenditure (so it creates a 1000cal deficit), and it tells me I'm in the target zone when I eat 1200 and burn off 2250 cal a day, which I seem to only be able to do with exercise.

Sorry-- 1200 a day.
