Thanks sooo much for the replies everyone! You all made me feel 100x better. I think you all are right that it's probably just water retention, and even if it wasn't, it's not the end of the world. Good luck to all of you!!!

It feels good to know that someone else is in the same boat, it puts things into perspective! Don't give up, you got this!

Positive!

sure!

I always think of people with ED’s as eating 700 cals/day and being stick thin. I do neither of those things but I wish I could. It’s almost like if I do have an ED, I can’t even do that right!

Even when I weighed 120 lbs at 5’3” (a healthy weight for me). But now I’m 175 lbs. I do have to lose weight. I’m considered overweight. But I…

Thank you for sharing your story. Your story sounds similar to mine. I applaud you for being able to get back to a more normal mindset about food/weight loss. Keep it up :)

I’m 5’3”, 175 lbs. I have some days where I walk 10,000+ steps, and some days that I’m totally sedentary at like 4,000-5,000 steps. It depends on the day of the week and what I’m doing. Maybe I’ll try upping it to 1400 calories

I am 5’3” and 175 lbs. I have a weird schedule and sometimes I hit 10,000 steps in a day, but sometimes it’s as low as 5,000 steps. So I set my activity level to “sedentary” and wanting to lose 2 lbs/week. I’ve lost 35 lbs so far but I’m at a total plateau. For the past like 6 months actually :/ so I worried that upping…
