I could definitely pack that. Did you find that to be pretty accurate/reliable?

I'm going to start measuring inches. It seems like some of my clothes is fitting better than before but measuring inches would confirm that. Thank you for the suggestion!

So frustrating but glad to know that it worked out for you! Hoping that it'll start to show for me soon too!

I think I'm going to start doing once a week. The scale is driving me insane but I also am not the type of person who can just stop weighing myself completely. Thanks for your advice!

Ok, makes a lot more sense and I definitely feel better. I've been so sore that I'm sure something has to be happening. Thanks!

Yes, I've been weighing and logging everything I eat! Hopefully it's just some water retention. You don't think it could be from muscle at this point?

Yes, I weigh in the morning before eating anything every 3-4 days. I do measure and weigh my food using a scale or measuring cups. And I definitely agree, I wish I had taken measurements before starting the program but it's hard to not get discouraged from the scale.

I know they wouldn't burn the same amount of calories in the same amount of time--I'm saying if you spend half an hour burning 300 calories on the elliptical at a constant rate vs. 20 minutes of a HIIT workout that also ends up burning 300 calories, are those workouts equally as effective? Thanks for the responses though.…

Part of the plan is to exercise 40-50 minutes 6 days a week and yes, I've been sticking to that! And no, I usually don't put any dressing at all and if I do, I measure it. I wonder if all the random bites of food are adding up but even so, I'm eating at no more than 1200 net a day so I really don't know how much it could…

Thanks so much for all the feedback, guys. These past few months have been really hard for me feeling the weight creep back up, and it's especially difficult when I have a history of ED but also don't want to continue to gain so much weight. I'm going to just go by the fit of my clothes and am trying to get a friend to…

Okay that sounds like a good plan, I was considering a metabolic reset approach but that seems too extreme for me. Unfortunately I'm currently on a binge streak right now :/

thanks for this- wish I had read this site before I had started calorie counting. :/ stupid of me to reduce to such low cals but I was younger and didn't understand all this.

Thanks for all the responses! Yeah, since I've been trying to get my bulimia under control, the binges within the past few months have not been purged. So I guess it would be advisable for me to just up my calorie intake to like 1500 or so? I feel like I really have noticed my metabolism slow down, from the low calories…

Bump - really need help with this!
