thanks, ill take a read.

Ha ha, no i suppose i didn't pose an actual question. But i suppose that would make sense. It just seems like i feel a lot bigger even though its only five pounds but my measurements don't quite reflect that feeling.

Im 5'3 and about 120 looking to get to 115.

Im 5'3. Current weight: 118.5 32-24.5-35 Goal: 115.0 32-24-33 (Thats assuming the few pounds i lose come off my hips, if not, what can you do.)

I hate eating in public. When i was at my highest and lowest wight thats one thing that never changed. I know how you feel. Honestly i usually just wait until i get home. I know thats not the best way to handle situations like this. Its hard I know, but maybe try with just small amounts of food or snacks, you don't…

Thanks! Ill definitely be reading through this.

You sound exactly like me, as in i feel like i wrote your post myself. Depression and eating/not eating can go hand in hand. When i get really bad i just eat because i feel like nothing matters and that no one cares so why should i. I hat emyself in the morning, as my binge eating almost always occurs at night. I promise…

Age: 22 Hight: 5'3 Weight: 117 lbs Waist: 24 inch Hips: 35 inch Goal wight is 115 lbs, i'm hoping some of that comes off my hips.

Makes sense, makes sense. I very unfortunately lost a lot of muscle mass a few years back so i should maybe switch my focus up. I guess i have some research to do then.

Beneficial to take a diet break? Really? Did not know this. But ill take your suggestion to heart, it would be nice to know my real maintenance calories since im obviously kind of off. Im a student no more, grsduated last year, im just working part time until i possibly go back to school next year. Although my job keeps me…

Ha ha, fair enough, i suppose that makes some sense. Im hoping my body just forgets about the last couple weeks. Wishful thinking i know.

Wow, thats kind of eye opening. I have never been good at estimating exercise calories. When i first lost the bulk of my wight i did it without exercise so it was never something i had to factor in. I know that the machines are inaccurate at the gym, and i know that MFP calculations aren't great to go by either at they…

I have considered this yes, i also have my measurements recorded, needless to say they haven't changed in the past few months. The thing is if i go based on how i feel it varies, a lot. Some days i feel like i shouldn't bother with the last few pounds and other days i feel like i really just need to get rid of them and be…

They can be indeed. Iv been struggling with them for a couple months. Im a bit of an emotional eater however...and these few months have been somewhat difficult/super emotional. If i set my mind to it the three pounds would melt away quite easily, but then reality gets in the way. But im confident i can in fact lose them,…

I am not no, i measure foods with mesuring cups but i dont have a food scale so i never weigh anything i eat. However in saying this i have been calorie counting for about 3 years now and i have been able to lose and maintain as desired so i sort of assume my calculations are fairly accurate, or at least accurate enough. I…

Im 22, i could always use another friend!

Well i don't have 12 lbs to lose anymore, that was starting from when i made this account. Now i have about 3 lbs to lose, iv been stuck at 3 lbs for a while however...

I wasn't anymore active then usual no. Well im 116.8 lbs as of today, and im 5'3 and 22 years old. Im sedentary all day accept for when i workout which is really just a lot of cardio. When i dont workout i assume my maintenance is about 1500 calories, when i do that jumps to about 1800 calories per day (this is an…

I still estimated i would have gained about 1.5 lbs...maybe i did miscalculate. Still i should have gained something because even when i ate under maintenance i wasn't that under.

When i mean i at over my calorie limit i mean i ate up to maintenance and beyond. This is why i am confused.

Honestly its going to be hard to get to a wight where you feel happy and are still getting your period regularly. It was and still is for me. I was without a period for a year. I regained some wight but now i'm horribly unhappy, its just proving very difficult to lose again, and i know in the back of my mind i can only go…

I have kind of a similar situation on my hands. I lost a lot of wight really fast a few years back. Too much weight it just so happened. I have very disordered eating habits to this day, im not diagnosed with anything but i know better then to think i dont have a problem. I went from my highest, about 175 to about 104,…

When i first started exercising (maybe 3 months ago) i started doing 2 hours of cardio 6 days a week. I cut it back to 1.5 hours six days a week. Now i'm doing 1.5 hours 5 days a week. And you know what, my wight hasnt changed since. Once im doing working out, once i get home, i pretty much eat a tone because im super…

Wow, i didn't know a lot of that. You are full of helpful information. I haven't been eating enough fats for years now i know, and so i guess i don't really miss them or know how to add them into my diet without going way over on the calories. Thank you for the ideas though. I shall definitely keep them i mind. I will try…

Bump :)

Im 5'3 and my wight went at low as 104. I didn't have my period for over a year. I went to my doctor and all that and gained enough to hit about 129lbs which felt like to much wight for me. Im 117 now and looking to get to 113. My periods returned back to normal at about 110lbs. Although at 104 my BMI was on the low end of…

I work in a grocery store in the deli/prepared food section so i know what you mean. Usually i just keep a water bottle with me and keep drinking. I have to run up the the bathroom all the time, but its better then downing a couple hundred calories without noticing.

Im 5'3. Im stuck at 117 lbs now hopping to get to 113 lbs.

I dont plan on logging today or tomorrow. I figure ill just get back to my routine on tuesday. I feel like if i logged all of what i ate today id cry. Not to mention these aren't foods i normally eat so i probably wouldn't calculate the calories/serving sizes right anyways. Happy thanksgiving to all!

I have to agree with the ice cream thing. I pretty much polished off a tub in 3 days and lost half a pound. I still dont know how i managed that...
