Oh please don't do that to yourself.  Yes you could loose weight but your also going to stunt your growth!  You don't really want to stay 5 6  forever do you?

So I also ran your bmi & calorie intake needs off that website.  The mainanance calories to "maintain" a healthy BMI for someone your age & height is 2230 if you are inactive.  However you need to take in less than that to get there obvioulsy. I think you should shoot for 2000 just until you get there. If you lift some weights to puff up those arms & sholders you'll be very happy with the results.    Just like a big chested female it will make your waste "apprear" smaller.  Get out to run or bike a couple times a week too.  Maybe  another guy who wants to lift some weights? 

When you reach your goal weight I'm guessing 131 then you will want to remeasure yourself to be sure your height hasn't changed & reevaluate your calorie needs.  The more active you become the higher your needs will be & the better you will look!

Your metabolism is SO much better than the adults on this site.  It's really not fair to compare yourself calorie wise to our decrepid metabolisms.   lol

Oh Yum to the Shrimp & Broccoli!  Yum to the pumpkin!

redplatforms- No, binging and purging are two different things. Binging is the extreme overeating part. Purging is vomiting and/or using large amounts of laxatives. Binging is generally not associated with purging, although some people do binge and purge (ie: bulimia nervosa).

Is taking large amounts of laxitives considered a dissorder then?

This is great!  I'm starting a shopping list from this post!  lol

My chicken breasts are 110, and my apples are about 70, so I don't know what they're speaking of

 

But if you're breastfeeding, CC's reccommendation isn't correct. If you're eating that little, you're doing harm to you and your baby (assuming you're breastfeeding).

 My son weaned about 2 weeks ago.  I would have breastfed him for a year but he was fighting me every feeding & biting so I let it slide & figured 7 months was the right amount of time for him.  He's been eating solids with GUSTO for 2 months now anyway!  lol

I think my chicken is a tad more but I usually smother it in olive oil & crushed garlic.  Maybe I should just boild them plain until the baby weights off... hmmm

I've never counted olive oil.  The cultures that eat allot of it are not generally overweight.  Unlike like the cultures who use butter or margarine.  I've always had problems with boyfriends who weren't use to eating alot of olive oil getting ummm stomach problems when introduced to my diet.  I cook everything in it from eggs, to veggis, I add it to pasta sause, as well as chicken & steak etc etc.  Really it has a laxative like effect so I don't figure I'm absorbing enough to be bothering counting it.

Sounds like a very healthy & delicious salad.  You might was to take some charcoal or bean-o with it though? 

Definitely don't add eggs!  lol

I'm not so good with going through the emotions behind eating or not eating.  My mothers Ana so I think I'm scewed in my views anyway but I do have some fall back recipies for when I'm starving but my calories are used up for the day.

Eat more stirfry - start with oil & garlic in a pan over medium heat.  Add the entire bag of frozen vegis.  Cook & if you want add an oz of shreeded low fat cheeze. 

Drink more coolaid - sometimes you just want something sweet & 32 oz of coolaid is the best darn thing that can happen to you!  lol

When in doubt have a protein shake.  Fills you up.  Very portable.

The OB can give you a hormone shot that will force it.  I had it done about 9 months after my car accident when I still hadn't had one.  An odd side effect to be sure but obviously my body realized it was in too bad of shape to have a healthy pregnancy.  I'm not sure they would give it to you though in this type of situation...  Have you tried natural hormone supliments?  They have them over by the prenatal vitamins.  Claim to treat medipause but it comes to the same thing.  Your cycles on pause.

With all that activity it's more than likely you put on some good healthy muscle which doesn't really count as "gaining weight" since you've increased your ability to metabolise calories.

Stong tone bodies look GOOD!

Hi Theresa,

I too am in Cd's... Also I've been in mutal funds since 94...  which aren't doing so great right now but better than the market at least....   I'm no where near retiring so I guess I think I should be risking more than I am.  I also advised many of my "older" relatives to sell a few years ago.  Only one of them listened.  I said "Take the money & run!  It's not really making a profit unless you cash it out."  Only Uncle George listened though.  lol

Does you company have a gym?  It's my saving grace on both the occationally slow & (mostly) Uber stressful days. 

Cauliflower is a great source I've heard.  You can mash it up like potatoes is you get tired of the same ole same ole.  :)

It sounds like the heart rate monitor was off.  I have an under-active thyroid too & it has never stopped me from achieving a heart rate of 150 or better! 

Usually I have 12oz of milk before bed.  If I do wake up I have a BIG glass of water first thing.  Usually after that I wonder what the heck I'm doing out of bed, check on the baby, & fall right back asleep.

One word  "broccoli"

Oh that stuff made me & my newborn little tooters for months until I figured out what the culprit was.  It was so bad we thought he had colic!  lol
