Argh, not eating above TDEE and slowly gaining!
I'm frustrated. I've maintained the same weight for 1 year and now I feel like I'm slowly starting to gain weight. I am not worried about minor day-to-day fluctuations but I don't like seeing the scale slowly creep up. Full disclosure - I'm small but I was very happy with my weight and I don't want to gain 5 lbs.

Amenorrhea (no period) experiences?
Hi, I've been experiencing Amenorrhea (loss of period) for a while. Yes, I've seen my OB/GYN but she wasn't very helpful. I'd heading to the endocrinologist in a few weeks but was looking for others that have experienced this or know about it to do my own research in the meantime. Details: - I'm 5'1'' and weigh 100 lbs.

How can I eat almost 1800 calories and still feel hungry?
Is it a sign that I'm not eating the right things? I've increased my calories but still am thinking about food all of the time. My diary is open. Looking for advice or thoughts. I have good willpower but if I can avoid this, I would obviously prefer it. I'm on maintenance. Edited to add - I'm 5'1'' and weight 99 lbs.…

HRM question - why do I burn so much less than my friend?
I'm hoping someone can help me understand my HRM. My friend and I both have Polar HRM (FT7). We both wore them to the same group fitness class, which was a combination of high impact cardio and sculpting with bands. I burned 275 calories and she burned 650 calories. We were both working hard. I weigh about 99 lbs and am…

Is my bodymedia overestimating or am I mis-calculating??
I got a bodymedia fit band yesterday so the past 24 hours was my first day wearing it. Based on my stats (5'1'' and 99 lbs, 35 years old) - and my experiences with my Polar heart rate monitor (I work out 6 days per week but only burn 200-350 calories for an hour long class according to the HRM) -- I have been eating 1650…

The more I eat, the hungrier I am!
I started at 1200 calories in April before I knew better and gradually increased. I was eating 1450 calories for a few months and was doing fine. Now I've increased my calories to 1650 and I'm finding that I'm hungrier now (after eating all my calories) than I was before even?!? For reference, I'm 5'1'' and have reached my…

Scared to eat more but I am hungry sometimes

I'm happy with my weight and my body so now it is just a matter of maintenance. I work out 6…
