I was always told that at 5 feet you should weigh 100 pounds, and 5 pounds for every inch thereafter. That's quite thin at my age; I'm not sure I can get back to that skinny. It's better if you look at health issues; I"ve heard that losing 10% of your body weight is good to prevent diabetes, heart issues, etc. when in…

It could be salt; I did that once and my niece pointed out that I'd gone over with salty stuff and to drink lots of water, and I did and that helped. It also depends on where you are in the month, that matters too. and don't let it freak you out, weight fluctuates, I've had times when I was up but then it came back down;…

Absolutely. You can do this, one day at a time. Track everything, that helped me tons. And if you're over one day don't let it get to you; slow and steady does it.

In fact we had chinese for dinner and I was over my calorie allotment by 44 calories, so I did enough stationary bike to give me 68 extra calories! I hate to go over my calorie amount; I like to stay at or under. I've been doing this since the end…

awww, hang in there. can you take a yoga class at your gym? that should help you destress and it's very accepting; if you can't do a move it's just how it is, everyone has things that are tough or some days the body just doens't work. watch a favorite movie, go walk around the mall if you can stand the xmas stuff that's…

no, you definitely don't want to lose weight; that's still a little light for your height. the rule of thumb is 100 pounds at 5 feet, then 5 pounds for every inch thereafter. good for you for conquering anorexia, I know it's tough. focus on gaining strength, not losing fat. it sounds like you don't have any real fat, just…
