This all depends on you. Is 1270 calories too few for you to stick to consistently and without feeling any negative effects, like exhaustion, dizziness, extreme cravings/urges to binge, etc? Then it's too aggressive, and you should lower your weight loss goal to 1-1.5 pounds per week. If you're able to stick to 1270…

I had a problem with obsessiveness. What's helped me is I eat my usual amount for breakfast, pre-workout, and mid-workout snacks, which totals around 600-800 calories. After my workout, I log my exercise, see how much I can eat, and go to the store to pick up food (it's on my walk home from the gym). When I get home, I…

I read an article once about eating disorder recovery that made a lot of sense to me, though I don't remember where I found it. It talked about how the eating disorder makes you believe that you are a "special metabolism unicorn," meaning you think you are somehow the exception to the rules of normal metabolism, healthy…

I go back and forth between wanting to restrict and wanting to binge. I have the same meal plan during all of those times, and sometimes it's a struggle to eat it all, and sometimes it's a struggle to just eat that and nothing else. Structured eating helps me a lot, so I suggest figuring out a meal plan that has you eating…

I rarely feel full. I eat until I am no longer hungry.

Your program looks kind of like a mishmash of random stuff thrown together without much rhyme or reason to it. Have you thought about getting on a more established program like Ice Cream Fitness 5x5, StrongLifts, or even just a push/pull/legs routine? But in answer to your question - more food! I exercise a ****load and…

For BMI purposes, your healthy weight range is 105 to 132 lb. Personally I suggest that people shoot for at least the upper-middle of this range so there's wiggle room for regain, so about 120-125 lb. If you want to get down to 110 though, that's totally up to you. Find a weight where you are comfortable with how your body…

Well, most of my clothes were 7 sizes too large, and I gave those away to charity. I still have a couple of too-big shirts because they still look nice if a bit baggy. I have one pair of jeans that's a couple sizes too big that I wear over my gym clothes when it's cold out (I walk to my gym).

I only lost a couple pounds during the first month, but dropped 10 in the second month. Insanity is brutal, and your muscles are swollen. If you don't lose after the second month, I would suggest you reevaluate your calorie intake/measuring methods.

You're burning less than you think you are, and eating too much to lose weight to make up for it. I suggest investing in a heart rate monitor so you have a better idea of calories burned, and opening your diary so we can have a peek at what you're eating.

Personally I went to a psychiatric hospital to stop the cycle. So there's that. Talk to a medical professional at least.

No need to freak out, you're retaining water from the increased workload. There's no way you're gaining fat from 1400-1500 calories coupled with regular exercise. Give it a few weeks.

That's not a very well-balanced dinner, and not enough food to maintain weight. My go-to is about 4-6 ounces of chicken or fish, 1-2 cups cooked vegetables, 100g of some form of grain, and I make sure that at least one of those is cooked with fat (unless I'm eating salmon).

2200-2500 per day. 5'5" 123 lb female.

Those body water/body fat things on scales aren't very accurate at all. I can swing from 17.5% body fat (yesterday) to 14.7% body fat (today) on mine just because I didn't drink that much water last night. Unless you ate somewhere in the ballpark of 4000 calories every day since Sunday, you didn't gain 3 pounds of fat. If…
