Hi Onmyown70, I am sorry this is being so difficult, and that life sounds like it is especially tough right now :( I am going through some similar things with trying different things and then getting on MFP and being shocked at how many kcals I've been eating, and that kicking off a whole bunch of new experiments, web…

Hi Rosebette, It is wonderful that you are noticing what is going on with your sister and that you are on the look out for her :) I am in an eating disorder support group, and the facilitator talks often about how part of having an eating disorder is not only that a person reduces the amount they eat, but that their food…

Hi, Onmyown70, I agree with the other poster, it would help to know what sort of calorie levels you are usually working with.

So the compliment is temporary. If someone gets a compliment when they've lost weight, it implies that they aren't as attractive or ok in some way…

If you're talking about in real life, I agree, it is extremely rude for people to comment on another person's weight. Saying, "Hey, you look great. You look like you've lost weight!" is very insulting. It implies that the person didn't look as good at a higher weight. I often have people say this to me, even though I have…

You said "she" said something. Who is "she"? A doctor? A technician? Someone with a license? Why are you asking this question on this board, even? Take it to your doctor and ask for their opinion. I agree with the others, it is silly to even be worrying about. Isn't it obvious to you that the test is off if you're losing…
