How many calories should I aim for?
After a VERY restrictive diet for a good few months and came out the other end with an eating disorder (EDNOS), I'm now trying to get myself back on track. Yes, I am still obsessing over calories and weighing :( but now the problem is that I want to eat even more than mfp is telling me I need to maintain. I'm hitting about…

No period.
So cutting a long story short, I began a 'diet' in April, starting at 165lbs (I'm 5ft5). I pretty much ate less than 700 calories most days; I have not had a period since July, which I believe is down to a drastic restriction of calories, and at that stage I was 140 llbs. I was fanatically tracking and logging every morsel…

Fed up of counting/planning
I'm so ridiculously fed up of calorie counting- it's taking over my life. I feel that everything I eat has to be planned in advance and I find it so, so hard to eat anything that I don't know the calories of. I often find myself spending hours logging my meals for the week in advance . It's took me a tremendous amount of…

Ready to start maintaining...
I put myself on an EXTREMELY restrictive diet in April- I began eating less than 600 calories most days- yes, this was very stupid. I have, now, gained my common sense and increased to 1200+ for maybe the last two months. I've been increasing very slowly (currently eating around 1350) and so far have not put any weight…

Chinese takeaway?
Ok, so I possibly face a huge challenge today... My mom wants to order Chinese for tea? I want to challenge myself and just eat whatever/as much as I want. Should I go for it? Since April I placed myself on a stupidly restrictive diet (i.e.around 500 cals) and I've got down from 75kg to 52kg (I'm 5ft5) I have, however, now…

no period for 3 months?
After undertaking a massive turn around with my eating habits last week, I am currently averaging just over 1200 cals a day, whereas previously some days I was surviving on as little as 400! It's been going well so far and I haven't piled on any weight (yet!) like I thought I would, and in fact, I have continued to lose…

Upping calories to a regular amount?
Okay, so I have been rather stupid and have been severly cutting calories since April, and whilst this has got me from an overweight 75kg to 52.5kg at 165cm and 19 years, I realise that it may have done a great deal of damage to my body. I have been fluctuating my calories in this time period from around 300-800 with some…
