I am between a paleo and a primal diet as I still allow myself milk and natural yogurt. I want to have enough calcium in my diet, especially since my ED past made my lower spine weak :S But I have been really successful eating like this and it's been about 4 months. It got me out of a 3.5 month plateau! I can't see myself…

I'm 5'8 and my goal is 121.6 lol. Very random, but i think 125 is just because it's a good round number. I'll personally see how I look once I'm there (currently 123.6, not long to go ^_^)

BUMP! Craving choccie brownies now haha (and i don't even have a big sweet tooth but mmmm)

5'8 CW: 125.3 (weight in tomorrow though! :D) GW: 121.5 I'm doing this healthily with an aim of about 1650 calories a day. It works! :P

I do always update my settings every week depending on my weight loss.I haven't lost enough in that time to make a huge difference to my calorie needs. I did lose 1.5 in the weeks of lower calories but i know this was unhealthy and staying at this number for too long would just decrease my hunger more and my metabolism,…

Oh and depending on your answer, what healthy (low carb) high cal food can you recommend to help reach enough calories?

Having been through an ED myself I know just how hard it is to recover, and you are just awe-inspiring! You have such a healthy attitude now and i have to say that it has really helped me to get over those last pesky ED thoughts when i see you posting about enjoying food and being healthy and just your story in general, so…

Yes. I stopped losing and even gained a bit when on 1200-1300. Then I upped it to 1400-1500 but that didn't help much. After a plateau of 3.5 months I decided to try upping cals, my last choice, and it works! I now eat 1650-1700 NET a day and I'm losing 0.5-1 pound a week (v.close to goal weight so this is good!). Do it!…

I've always hated my thighs more than anything. Even with a slight thigh gap I just feel weird about them. I think it's because I have such tiny boobs so it's not very even...meh

I am 5"8 and currently 128, aiming for 122! I want to get toned too but I'll concetrate more on that after all these exams *sob* I swear I look heavier than 128 :S

So are you saying increase from 1650 to 1699 (sedentary in table) , or increase from 1650 to 1947 (lightly sedentary in table)? I think I'm lightly active as I walk from college every weekday (30 mins brisk pace) and walk around college itself between classes and to and from town for lunch (about 10 mins each way maybe?)

So according to this my BMR is 1450 (bf% 14.7 woo) Do I add 200 to that then? The table below says 1699 at sedentary and 1947 at lightly active to get to my goal weight, is this wrong though as it seems a lot! I currenty eat about 1650 net when lightly active. Thanks

BUMP!

Hello! :D 19, feel free to add (but only if you're doing this the healthy way :P)

Damn my small boobs. A or maybe even AA! They used to be B going on C but then i got a stupid ED and when I gained the weight back it went everywhere except there. Typical :/ I guess at least I'll know they're not shallow.... maybe...

lol, I'm 5'8 and 131 pounds, but to look like that girl at 134 pounds I'd probably have to be 120 (technically underweight). It sucks but it's not worth getting upset over. Just work hard and you'll get to where you want to be soon enough :D Good luck!

a bowl of broccoli dipped in mustard. I have this even when i have lots of cals left because it tastes good and it's warm. mmm

bump. And I have the exact calculation as you. 131 pounds and 68 inches :P Made it easy haha

BUMP

Flying. I freak out so badly on planes :S

Thanks :) I'll stop worrying so much about the fat intake then (as long as it's goo fat!) and I'm going to buy tuna in oil instead of salt water as it's abut 100 more calories :D

Hmm there's alot of sugar and carbs in most fruit juices unfortunately :/ And fruit has lots of carbs too even though they're allowed. How many carbs do other paleo dieters allow themselves a day in the form of fruit and veg?

I have been doing paleo/primal diet (paleo but with yogurt/milk for calcium needs) which allows me up to 126g carbs a day, more with exercise :D It seems to have got me out of a 3+ month plateau and because I've found ways to substitute carbs like potatoes and cereal (never really had bread anyway) at lunch time during…

I heard of this! I was planning on getting it, now I definitely will. Thanks! ^_^

Wow I posted thi yesterday and after 3.5 months I hae actually lost a pound! I'm hoping it's not a fluke but if not then what helped me was going up from 1400/1500 to 1700 net calories (didn't think that would work even reading the forums with evidence, but yay it seems like it did!) Also being on a paleo/primal diet (3…

That's what I was thinking but I've been lower just last year and I'd like to lose just 10 more pounds :S hmm good luck! If you find a way out please tell haha.

Oh sorry. I have opened it now :)
