I went over by 2600 :(

That actually makes a lot of sense...

Yesssssss

Thank you. I've spent literally thousands of dollars the past year on therapy & doctors & no matter what still feel the same..

It sounds like you and I have quite a bit in common...though my weight loss was due to an eating disorder and I had dropped to 80 lb. not cute

In high school I weighed 108 lb at 5'4 and had so much self confidence. I felt so skinny. I ate wtv the f*** I wanted! Now I'm 24, was 106 lb before my period started, and binge ate about 5,000 calories over maintenance for the week in chocolate. I'm almost scared to weigh even though I know the highest I would be is 108.…

I ate 4,500 calories in chocolate over my maintenance for the week. I'm trying to fast today but it seems almost impossible. I'm wondering if maybe I should just move on, accept the weight gain, and have a normal day. Ugh

I'm anemic. And I have low ferritin so my body doesn't absorb iron ::

I wouldnt freak out if I was still eating a weight loss amount of calories the test of the month, but ive been eating maintenance because it's difficult for me to restrict now and I'm happy with the weight Ive been maintaining at. But if I were to eat an additional 3500 calories every month, that's 12 pounds a YEAR

I ate 3,400 EXTRA calories over maintenance. I had eaten my 1700 cals (maintenance) and then jumped in bed and had a craving for chocolate. I grabbed a bag of my moms chocolate from downstairs and then when I calculated how much I had eaten, it was 3,400 extra :( I'm also lactose intolerant...so I wonder if not all the…

Yes! I totally understand this. I was doing the math too. Between yesterday & today I've eaten almost exactly 3,500 calories over.

I get that, but I'm just frustrated because I just started maintainance and I don't want it to be screwed up over this

Yes! Everyones hormones are different

3,000 calories in chocolate & cereal (over maintenance) later...

Thanks!:)

I'm not questioning you, but where did you get this number from?

That's what i kinda figured too... I consider when I'm sick in bed "sedentary". When I do yoga I always do th hot yoga classes... And when I bartend on weekends I probably would be considered active so a weekly "lightly active" might average out...that's still maintenance on only 1700 cals

What do you log the barre classes as? I Also do pure barre :)

What do you log your barre classes as?

Bump. Im confused by this too. I do a barre class every day. The studio says that you burn "between 300-500 calories per class" I can only assume that at 5'4 108 lb I don't burn that much....

So even though I do the barre class every day, sedentRy?

I'll have to check into that...it's very possible. My hormones, etc. were all pretty messed up at one point so I wouldn't be surprised. Thank you for NOT being rude

Yea...85 lb not kg lol

A lot of antibiotics cause water retention

You could have a food intolerance that you don't know about...or be like me and have celiac (allergic to gluten, but also my body doesn't absorb it). You might not be absorbing all the calories from it

Thanks! So you only had about 1 lb of gain?

i just personally think I look best around 105 :(

I just personally think I look better at like 105 :(

I do barre classes & yoga but that's about it. Weight lifting/cross fit hurt my joints :/

i'm 5'4
