Eat more honey :) Friend me if you want. Ask me anything. Look at the group "Eat More To Weigh Less." See if it's for you!

Well this isn't helpful but that's crazy!! There is no way that you should be gaining at those calories! I'm sorry you are struggling with this. I'm 5'3 also and am struggling. I also eat 1800 calories a day. Feel free to add me for support. I'm honestly stumped. I would say try running your numbers again... but I'm sure…

I'm a short girl. 5'3. I tried eating 1200 and it sucked. Made me gain. I'm now at 1800 and much happier.

This thread started with OP asking for advice on what drugs were weight neutral. Instead it spun off into a debate over whether or not drugs are "necessary". I'd like to say that when you are in a depressed or anxious state of mind, you are very vulnerable. And scared. And reading random threads online about how drugs are…

Sorry I quoted that. Idk what I'm doing on here most of the time !!

I think you will be surprised how great you look. Honestly. It takes a long time for our mental image to catch up with our physical reality. Both when we gain and when we lose. I think you will be happy! It'll be a relief :) just smile.

It is a struggle but just hang in there!! You will find what works for you. You just can't give up. :)

I'm so sorry! I know this doesn't help much but I feel your pain! I am struggling too. I have tried many things and only seen the scale go up and up. It is very discouraging. I feel like I've tried everything and nothing has worked. All I can say is that you have put in the time so far. You don't wanna give up and go for a…

Ok ladies thank you. And yes I am running and running almost five miles some days. Some days I am using a stairclimber. Thank you for your advice :)

The problem is going below BMR. Like I would net below BMR on some days. Is that ok?

I am using a HRM. I do cardio for 50 min. Weight training for 80 min a week total. I don't lift TOO heavy but am lifting as heavy as I can. Which isn't that heavy!! But I'm trying. I have been doing MFP since March but I was netting too few calories. I was not losing. So I upped my calories in July. Carbs and sodium are…

You are in amazing shape! What's your secret??

Uhmmm... you look amazing!!! I think you look great just as you are!!! What's your height and weight now? You look like you are at goal already!

I have a lot of random variables so hang with me for a second. I was around 175 after having my son 2 years ago. I got down to 125 this way... Eating 2,000 calories a day at least and splurging on weekends. Breast feeding till he was one. Working out 30-50 minutes a day 5 days a week. After I stopped breast feeding it…

Bump!!

I'm sorry you are struggling! I'm proud of you for admitting you need help !! You are not failing though. You are a fighter!! I'm gonna suggest something you won't wanna hear. Take the pressure of your wedding off of yourself. I know you want to look your best and be skinny. Everyone does. But that pressure will only hurt…

Thank you!!

May I ask if you eat back your workout calories? How much do you workout?

I think she wants friends who will be supportive. And nice. That is not unreasonable. To say "I'm ONLY an eight" when someone says they are a ten is very unkind. Doesn't really matter if it is true or not.

I'm 5'3. CW is 135. Lowest weight was 123. I was a 2 at 123. I am a 4 at 135. I have gained a lot of muscle but ideally would like to get back down to 125-130. My body fat is 24%.

This is interesting to me. I just went off Wellbutrin. I feel like it was making me way worse. I have taken both Paxil and Zoloft. I didn't notice any weight gain with either. Zoloft made me feel too numb though. For whatever that's worth!

I guess running is easy? I've been doing it for so long. I could probably talk if I had to while I run.

Thank you everyone !! All the info is correct. I was doing some intervals, I cycle my running. A minute at 5 then 6 then 7. Then steady at 6. The online calculators seem to disagree. When I enter in the info the HRM gave me the calorie burn is higher than the HRM said it was. I'll try again tomorrow and see if it seems the…

Thanks :)

BUMP!
