A few comments have mentioned that I have high body fat? Really confused as I have never had that measured so how can you know? am I missing something. my family and friends confirmed that i look very underweight so I am confused about the responses saying i have high body fat? What does this mean please

I always thought salmon was a very lean fish , thank you for the recommendation :)

Yes but those were weeks ago and I cannot find the threads. Why is everyone so rude on here? No matter what thread I post people like to question me and look down there nose at me. Seems like I am dammed no matter what I ask!

I cannot stand Avocado but I can add more high fats to my diet :) Can you recommended any other foods that have a high concentrate of fats or oils?

They only have one Doctor - use to have two but one left. I cannot afford to travel or pay privately. The only other doctor in my area is my OLD doctor whom I moved from because he removed my allergies from my file and I ended up being prescribed medication I was allergic to (Penicillin)

I became more stressed having to log my calories and became obsessed with high calorie foods to a unnerving level. My partner wont let me log calories or weigh myself daily as it is more destructive then helpful. I add up my calories as the days goes on and make a mental note.

Already had both of those. Came out that I was on the "dangerous" end of depression. Thyroid tests all came back normal

Contraceptive medication and stronger anxiety medication. Only medication I am on at the moment is to keep my heartrate steady as if it gets too high I need to go to A&E

My GP refused to give me medication because he said my body is too thin to cope with it. I dont think he would have said that if my weight was okay. I was told I need to gain a stone before I can take any kind of medication.

I have had therapy for the past few months and on a waiting list for a more specialized type of therapy as the first course did not work very well.

I am underweight. got it confirmed both my my GP at hospital by a dietitian. I do have a high metabolism. My body is always active and always shaking. it is never still and so I burn far too much. My heart beats fast all the time. Its like my body is running all the time. Bit hard to explain but last time I went to…

Numerous things. Moving house twice. Losing my dog of 15 years, losing my Grandad. Getting attacked by a man, got attacked again by a guy in a taxi. Became quite agrophobic after that and lost my Job due to not being able to perform due to stress. I know worse things can happen but all that happening in a space of a year…

I am 23 I have been told to take up Yoga recently to try and focus my mind on something less destructive so will be adding it to my daily routine :) thank you for sharing your experience x

Yes and I realize it may now not be possible. Around 2000 calories per day, half of that is a big evening meal

Loving couple

I suffered from anorexia in my early years and now the only way for me to have a period is by pumping lots of hormones through my body. Without them I don't have any. Due to the abuse my body went through when I didn't eat I am still underweight but getting closer to my healthy weight goal now. It may take a while before…

Im actually wanting to gain weight but thank you anyway :)

Thank you for the advice and sharing your experience. From what I can remember my periods were normal when I was around 19-20 on the bmi scale so I think it's a good goal to work with :)

No. What's rude is people gossiping and fighting with another member when it has nothing to do with this post. If people have problems with other members there is a report button for that.

Can we keep this on topic please? Because half the replies on here are about what someone else said on some other post ect ect and its rather annoying having to scroll past all your hissy fits

um what?

I weigh 8 stone. I need to gain at least a stone but would be more happy to be around 10 stone (I felt the best health wise when I was that weight in the past)

What is your diet like at the moment? will give us a better idea on how many calories your intaking :) When I was on 2000 a day my weight was only maintained but when I go over that I start to gain a little. I know men tend to need more calories so 3000 is probably a good start (if your not exercising much, if you do any…

Thats a great idea! I was thinking of what way I can add meals I regularly eat without having to go through it all again thanks :) Just gone back and re-calculated a meal I had yesterday and it came to over 1000 calories! So I was greatly underestimating /guessing before

Looks like I will have to do it the hard way then XD I normally just throw stuff in when I cook and add more if it needs it. will have to get in the habit of weighing everything beforehand

5 foot 6 Lowest weight: 112 pounds Highest weight 140 pounds Goal weight : to be 140 pounds again :)

1st one - I guess you like popeye?

Your BMI at the moment is around 16.4 http://www.nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/Healthyweightcalculator.aspx (it needs to be above 18 to be healthy (but of course this can vary from person to person and depends on the individual to have a BMI of over 18 you need to be around 7 stone (98 lbs) Have you seen a doctor to check how your…

I dont want to be smaller. I want to be larger (fatter) I use to weigh 10 stone years ago and didnt do weights then. Stress caused me to lose two stone.
