Anyone have experience of anorexia recovery?
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, this is actually my second time in recovery as I relapsed a few months ago and hit a BMI of 16.5 then asked for help. The first time around I was a lower weight but did not restrict as heavily, it was 900 calories and the ED team gradually increased my intake 50 a week until I was on…

Weight restored from anorexia but still need so many calories to feel well.
I was diagnosed with anorexia last October, initially I was in denial about the serious state of my health but by December my BMI was a grim 15.8, I was so unwell and told that if I did not accept help I would be dead in 6 months. I did accept help and it was like a light switched on in my head that I was determined not to…

Accurate weight recording after a binge.
On Saturday I had a binge, my TDEE is about 1400, I ate 4200 so should gain from that. Anyway as suspected the next day I was 4 pounds up, never mind, I know that can happen. Wednesday is my day for weighing and recording my weight, I got on the scale today and the water weight is gone and my weight is back to what it was…

Exercise calorie question.
I have been tweaking my calories trying to maintain, MFP says that as a sedentary female weighing 102.3 pounds and being 5 ft 1 (156cm so close enough) I should eat 1350, fitbit gives me 1295 if I do very little, anyway I was still losing on 1350 so I increased by 100 per day and problem was sorted. But I am enjoying being…

Fitbit confusing me.
My weight is healthy and has been for a long time but my doctor has advised not to lose anymore, MFP gives me 1360 calories to maintain and I was still losing 0.5 pounds per week on that amount. If we had a family celebration I could maintain, even gain a bit but as soon as I went back to 1360 for a week my weight dropped…

Upset at family photos.
Sorry if this is the wrong place but I have been maintaining so thought I'd ask here. I am just over 5 ft 1(156 cm) and weigh 105.5 pounds, for a while friends and family have been saying I don't look well and look too thin, to be honest I thought they were just over fussing and lots of people get comments like that after…

Could someone give some insight please? I am 38, female,5 ft 1 and 113 pounds, it is a weight that I am happy with, 120 was enough for me but I have lost more whilst trying to ease into maintenance. I wanted to gradually increase my intake so I went up in steps of 50 per day for two weeks at a time, I had been on 1200 and…

Caffeine question.
I apologise if this is not the correct place to ask and I know that people differ in their tolerance to caffeine but I was wondering if anyone could share knowledge or perhaps experience. I do have problems with anxiety but am usually fine to drink one or two mugs of instant coffee per day with no ill effects,however this…
