My mother's health suffered, even being only moderately overweight. Severe Heart problems, which her mother suffered from, too, recurring kidney infections, asthma and some more. Her weight and health problems made her sit on the couch almost 24/7, which in turn was one of the main reasons she suffered a severe stroke at…

If you're constantly looking really bloated and almost pregnant, take a pregnancy test or two (no matter how sure you are that you're not pregnant) and see a doctor. If it's not a pregnancy, either some foods makes you bloat (problem with carbs, intolerances etc.) or there's something more serious at work, like a cyst.…

Something's clearly going wrong here. I'm 5'2".

I'm not a doctor, but something's seriously wrong if you're eating so little with so much physical activity just to maintain. I can't even begin to imagine how frustrating that must be! I'm 5'2" and I maintain on about 1300 kcal if I literally don't move all day. I think I can burn about 200 calories in an hour of very…
