After reading some of these replies, I cannot leave this thread without posting. I agree with you. 100%. I am trying to recover from a cyclical combination of binge eating/restricting/over exercising and, sure, sometimes I have what I call "mini binges" which are usually 1000 calories or so, but that's not REALLY a binge.…

Forgot some info: SW: ~120 HW: 130 LW: 95 :( GW: 110!! & no binges! (That's the tough part, bleh!)

I'm only 5'4" :( Haha. But I am currently between 115-117 with a goal weight of 110. It seems as though I am NEVER going to get there though :\

I can offer no help, however, I can say that I HATE how I look in pictures even when I don't mind my mirror-image. I think I look very much heavier in pictures than I do in my reflection :( I greatly dislike seeing photos of myself ...I am in the same boat.

I absolutely HATE my hips and thighs. They are the WORST and seem so disproportionate to me... When I look at myself in the mirror, I see a skinny upper body and just HUGE hips and thighs. I'm only 5'4" and between 112-114 lbs so I am already a 0-2, but I'm focusing more on how I LOOK... when I get down to about 107-110,…

I want to do this... Me- 0 :( NS- 1

I am a HORRIBLE late night snacker... anything sweet is a MUST HAVE for me throughout the night and into the early morning. Don't know what my problem is :( but I want OUT. I stopped this for about two months a little while ago and I felt FANTASTIC! But I'm back in it now and I want to QUIT for good!

My mom has lupus. I know it's not the same thing and I can never imagine what she goes through... but I see it every day-- the good days and the bad ones.. and I understand the despair, pain, and also the strength that comes with living with this disease. My mom is also an epileptic, an added struggle :( I cannot imagine…

5'4", around 112 lbs :)

I am the SAME way!! I am ALWAYS go very, very good during the day, but at night... every night, honestly... I stuff my face. I eat the kitchen. HORRIBLE stuff I would NEVER EVER allow in my body when I am in my rational mind... cookies, cakey things, chocolate bars, ice cream... etc. I hate it... Especially because it…

I, too, am a scale addict... I weigh myself at LEAST three times a day on three, four, sometimes five scales at a time... it's ridiculous, it only serves to make me upset bc weight fluctuates so much, and I know I ought to stop it... but I can't help it!! :(

fabulous progress!!! how tall are you, if you dont mind my asking? :) --oops, I just saw that you already answered this :P Anyway-- you look GREAT where you are now!! plus, I bet you are like 90% muscle, haha. 123 is a great weight for your height, but you honestly dont even look like you weigh that much! :)

What the heck :) age: 27 height 5'4" sw: 124 lbs (before I got on MFP, but I was 115 lbs when I started MFP) cw: 111-112 lbs gw: under 110 lbs ugw: 107-109 lbs (maaaaybe 105 lbs) frame: small... I think

Oh my gosh. I know that feeling and HATE it... I empathize with you... it's terrible terrible TERRIBLE being uncomfortable in your own skin!!! It makes you feel so trapped. You are strong. You can do this. Use it as motivation :)

I don't know how to post pictures!! :( :( I will post the URLs though... Emma Stone is an inch taller than me at 5'5" and she is tiny, but not emaciated and she has a cute body, but isn't uber-toned. I wouldn't mind looking like her at all!! URL:…

I HATEjeanssizing... It is just so frustrating because it seems so arbitrary and bizarre. I have answers or solutions, I just wanted to share the frustration with JEANS :P

I am recovering from eating disorders as well. I am struggling to recoverfromanorexia, exercise bulimia, and binge eating. I'm here for support, encouragement, even commiserating, when necessary. <3

I am the same way!! It's so frustrating!!! :( I wake up and I am RAVENOUS, even if I just woke up and ate fifteen minutes before... I end up overheating during the night and early morning and feel terrible about it during the day. But I feel so powerless to stop it...

5'4" here... Still considered fairly short! :p

I LOVE the elliptical!! I go to the gym 3x/week (I want to go 4, but I just took it down a notch because I was getting... a little obsessed! haha)... anyway, I do 50 minutes on the elliptical and 10-15 on the stationary bike. I feel like the elliptical is the "most bang for your buck" because you burn SO many calories and…

I'm exactly 5'4"... do I count? :P I just joined MFP and I only want to lose a LITTLE weight... 8-10 pounds. But I want to learn how to successfully maintain that weight and get off of the crazy yo-yo roller coaster I've been on for the past several years... my weight has been SO up and down! I want to get to my goal and…

Thank you for the advice, simc14uha :) I appreciate that!!

sandyhomerun and LRodich-- thank you!! :) Looking forward to getting to know you! :)

I know you're probably right... I do feel most comfortable around 110 and I really like the way I look at 107. I do realize though that I do not NEED to lose weight and that my current weight is acceptable and healthy. I'd really like to lose those 8 silly pounds, I just want to do it the right way. You're not wrong-- and…
