I don't drink. Its disgusting.

Like delaney86 said, I don't think you need to lose weight, but rather tone up.

^^

I'm sooo... freaking... Tired.... ><

And I'm really worried about my mom... I hope that secretary really learns how to work in a law office really soon or else my mom'll get laid off. ><

I have a picture signed by Vic Mignogna and Chuck Huber. x3

I told myself.

My ED went on until about... nearing the end of April... Starting in March. I had a treadmill that told how many calories you burned while you walked. So, I became a slave to that number. I walked until I saw that that number match the calories I consumed that day. (Now I know that the treadmill is wrong and CC is right)

When I figured out I had a ED, I wanted to tell my mom, so I wrote her a note and stuck it into one of her books on her bedside table. Apparently, she isn't too keen to the fine detail of a paper sticking out of a book, so I told it back and didn't tell her.

I recovered in silence, eating 1200 calories a day at the minimum. Gained back 3 pounds, but I thought of it as just desserts for my ED.

You can read most of it in a journal I made. x3

And like everyone else said, you NEED TO GO SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP. Please, if you value your life, you should.

madamebones: You came to the right place for support. The kind people on CC are extremely motivational and are willing to help. They helped me through many a bind, and I can't thank them enough. Good luck! ^^

I've learned that the carbs that I consumed led to my overweight-ness.

My entire diet before was nothing but carbs.

Cereal, bagels, pancakes for breakfast. Sandwiches, mac and cheese, breadsticks for lunch, snacks were a handful of granola bars and fruit snacks. Dinner was the only meal I had any protein or veggies in it.

And I never got full enough to stop eating. So I just kept eating.

I rarely eat much carbs anymore, and frankly, they don't do it for me anymore.

And I also learned how to read labels and know that they're lying like dogs. With my digital scale I have found that there is an average of 2 grams HEAVIER than what the serving size says.

IE: Nilla reduced fat wafers are 130 calories per 30g (7 wafers). I weighed them out, and I found they actually weigh 32 g. 7 wafers weigh 32 g. NOT 30 g. So, we're actually consuming MORE calories per serving than what they say on the box.

And since I'm a math whiz, I figured out a conversion from grams to calories.

Take the Nilla wafers for example. There's 30 grams for every 130 calories, so how many calories are we actually eating?

32 grams / 30 grams = 1.0666666666 servings

Now multiply that number by 130.

1.06666666666 x 130 = 138.66666666666

So, we're actually consuming 138.66666 calories instead of 130. x3

And it works in reverse, also. I use this when I want to figure out how much ice cream I can have to get to my calories for the day. x3

So the conversion is this:

Grams you have / grams on box X calories on box = Calories you have.

Or

Calories you have (in my case, the calories I haven't eaten) / calories on box X grams on box = Grams you can eat. x3

YAY MATH!

(I'mnotamathdorkwhatareyoutalkingabout!xDDD)

Yeah, that's what I've learned.

That's so awesome! Congratulations!

I can not wait until the day I reach my goal. It seems like it's taking such a long time but I know that once it's done it wont feel like any time at all!

What kind of work outs/ diet did you have to reach this?

 Lots of fruit and running, that's for sure. x3

Breakfast:

~ 2 apples (Red delicious, granny smith, or golden delicious)
~ Yoplait yogurt fat free
or
~ 1/4 watermelon (600-800 grams) Yummy stuff, I tells ya.

Lunch:

~ Tossed salad of romaine, spinich and carrots (hand made!) (123-150 g)
~ 3-4 slices Deli-sliced turkey cut up (20-30 g)
~ almonds (28 g) (optional)
~ Lite Asian dressing (31 g)
~ Yoplait Yogurt fat free

Dinner:

~ Pork, Chicken or Beef
~ Corn, Broccoli, or other veggie
~ Rice, potato, pasta

Snacks: (I usually don't eat snacks, but if I'm hungry...)

~ 1 cup baby carrots raw
~ Apple

And if I have extra calories left over, I have a treat. Like ice cream or a cookie.

That's my 1500 calorie diet for ya. x3

Workout:

~ 60 minutes cardio (usually running on the treadmill, but I got so bored recently with it I switched to swimming when I can)
(Running routine:
5 min: 4 MPH
5 min: 4.5 MPH
10 min: 5 MPH
5 min: 4.5 MPH
5 min: 4 MPH)

~ 20-30 minutes toning (legs, mid section, WiiFit)

I usually break the cardio up into 30 minute sessions on the treadmill, with the toning in the middle.

There ya go. x3

I started 2nd or 3rd week in Janurary. ^^

18, 5'1", was 140, now117 going for 115.

I've been overweight ever since I was born. ><

Hehe, I don't think my ribs would allow me to get to 24... they start poking out at 28.5 inches. ^^;;

Plus I have a medium frame and happy with the curves I've obtained. ^^

You just broke a plateau, that's all.

Your body was so used to your old routine, that it knew exactly what to do with the food that you were giving it.

You basically just shocked your metabolism by doing something different, is all. x3

For a young girl your age, you need to consume 1500 calories MINIMUM. So up that a bit.

Also, put fat back into your diet. Believe it or not, fat is actually brain food. Nuts and meats will suffice.

Do some research to figure out how many grams of fat you're supposed to get, and good luck!

When I'm thin, I'll stop comparing myself to my younger sister who is as beautiful as hell, and I'll stop crying over things I think I can't change.
