I agree with the others, please seek outside help for your eating disorder as you are still struggling so much. We cannot and will not help those who are not already in active recovery. If you don't know who to turn to, please consult the following two threads for information.

• Some links for E.D related issues
• Eating Disorders Health, Resources and Info Thread: Updated!

Also, here is a gaining thread which possibly can give you some information and guidance.

• THE AIM IS TO GAIN: A Guide to Weight Gain, Whatever Your Reason
  

We hope you are able to find the help you need.

The short answer is no.

When your BMI is below 18.5, and your doctor hasn't said it's okay - no. You shouldn't be exercising. Focus on managing calories at an appropriate level and getting to a 20 BMI. You should not exercise as, firstly, you need to focus on your calorie intake not output; and secondly, you need to give your body time to heal back to a healthy weight before you put it into stress conditions where there could be injury. FYI, if you do any exercise whatsoever, you need to eat back those calories + some more.

Keep at it, you can definitely do it and we will support you!

Ok kfirth, we will miss you! But FYI feel free to weigh in sooner if you like!

runfree, thanks for sharing that ... we will definitely support you! You will be looking fine by New Years! :)

This is getting old. One final time, if you cannot respond to the OP's post DIRECTLY, as to the role (or absence of role) of God in weight loss etc in a kind and respectful manner, don't respond at all or I will delete your post.

Unfortunately if you are consuming less than 1000 cals a day it makes me think you are potentially going to relapse. That's a starvation amount of calories. I suggest you reach out to your recovery team, doctors, nutritionists and counselors and discuss with them what you have told us here. As g-jane stated your weight is perfectly healthy but your approach is very dangerous. Please follow her instructions above.

Calorie Count's mission is to promote healthy and sustainable weight management. Please help our moderators follow this vision and respect the following guidelines.

• Your post is subject to modification or deletion by our moderators. Repetitive, off-topic, disruptive, and frivolous posts will be removed. We will take down any posts that violate either the letter or the spirit of any of these rules.
• Promotion of starvation diets or habits that exhibit signs of an eating disorder ("pro-ana", "pro-mia", etc.) is prohibited.

risza,

great idea!! You guys make the great posts, I will definitely sticky them :) In the meantime, I will put up and oldie but goodie based on one of the posts above, The CC diet ... check your stickies at the top of the forum everyone!

heatherkparks,

If you knew this could be deleted and took the time to apolgize to the OP, why post at all (and link to the other thread)? It's not the place or the time. Please keep this topic ON TOPIC and abide by posting guidelines, thank you.

What you are doing sounds dangerously close to the makings of a relapse, please be careful!

If you need help with meal plans and getting a more healthy version of 2500+ cals in I suggest you read this thread THE AIM IS TO GAIN: A Guide to Weight Gain, Whatever Your Reason - UPDATED and also join the Weight Gainers, What Did YOU Eat Today? thread.

Calorie Count is all about healthy weight management. If you don't get your cals up we cannot consider that you are being active about your recovery and we only support those who are in active recovery.

doctorgrim, if you don't like the thread, move on. The OP's initial post was not innapropriate or against posting guidelines, even if you don't like what was stated. You made your point, move on. Feel free to make another thread if you want to take your points further. Your opinions are welcome but are beyond the scope of this thread.

xuopdiva, I did not remove posts I believed were inappropriate. I removed posts excplicitly against PGs (far fewer than I truly wanted to remove, trust me). And I 100% agree with you, this forum is supposed to be supportive for EVERYONE. Let's keep it that way.

To everyone else, I say one more time, if you don't have something relevant to the OP's initial post/question or something respectful to say (on either side) your posts will be deleted. Keep it civil.

This thread is on the verge of being locked because an open, honest, and respectful dialogue about the involvement and God/faith in weightloss appears not to be possible?

If you cannot say something nice DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL. Basics, people!

Get the thread back on topic, say your piece and move on. Do not argue or attack people for their beliefs. Make your point and move on.

Calorie Count's mission is to promote healthy and sustainable weight management. Please help our moderators follow this vision and respect the following guidelines:

This is a very old thread and is no longer falls within Calorie Count's mission to to promote healthy and sustainable weight management. Bingeing is disordered eating and needs to be taken seriously. A productive way to cope with binge eating disorder is not to list your binge foods.

Please seek professional help where needed and abide by posting guidelines.

You are right in that H&S isn't an "ED website", it never has been, but we do not turn people away, or delete or lock posts, that do not violate posting guidelines.

As we have told everyone many times, every decision to lock or delete a thread is made carefully, collectively and thoughtfully. Some of us spend hours on CC every day fulfilling our roles as moderators.

Some threads have been moved in H&S that are of an ED related nature. They are not in violationg of guidelines, otherwise they would have been locked. The Weight Gain forum is explicitly a forum for those trying to gain weight. The Health & Support forum is for those with health concerns - ALL health concerns - this includes eating disorders. Moving them from one forum to another is not "cowardly" as you not so nicely state - it's what we have done for a long time, nothing new!

There is a rule, as you point out many times, that pro-ana or pro-mia posts are not allowed. That does not mean all ED posts are not allowed however - just those that violate posting guidelines. 

I want to point out that there are a lot of threads and issues we deal with behind the scenes. Just because you don't see every action I take as a moderator does not mean we are being cowardly or that we are somehow enabling pro-ana posts. It's quite the opposite.

However, that being said, we are human and are volunteers. So if there is something against guidelines that we missed please feel free to use the "Report Violation" button to let me know about it. Believe me, we address every concern reported. 

NYCGirl, Moderator

mutoko, congrats on the loss, even if it seems slight the trend is DOWNWARDS which is where we want to be. Feel good about it, afterall, it has only been ONE week!!

crystal, we will support your 105lb goal weight, let's do it together!

Anyone else?!! Let's get those weigh-ins in so we can track the progress!

I had a good night. But the fish tacos and 2 cosmos were surely not necessary for my diet plan. Even though I definitely indulged today (I also had two SKVLs at Starbucks) I did resist the desire to eat a container of Peanut M&Ms and a container of cashews in my hotel room. So I consider this a successful day.

I hate to be harsh, but you say uou are afraid to gain fast? Isn't that the idea? You need help from an outside professional, without medical supervision and therapy your road will be tough.

I am posting the same answer from your other thread (I locked that one since it's a duplicate topic):

You are so dangerously thin that anything we tell you could endanger your health. We are not medical professionals and even if we were, this is not the forum for anyone who isn't already in active recovery and getting outside professional help.

Please consult these links for helpful information and please get help from outside sources! You don't have to do this alone!

I will add them, here is another link to Lala's weight gain post:

http://caloriecount.about.com/aim-gain-guide- weight-whatever-reason-ft139174

My weighin was 111 this morning. I will take it! Wish it was more but since I am barely dieting it's ok with me. I did work out twice over the weekend, just need to stop munching! And today I had a disastrous fast food dinner cause I am traveling and was sooo hungry. Will try to be better the remainder of my trip.

ocean_girl88 Congrats on the good weigh-in and the glimpse of even better weigh ins!

kfirth, don't be bummed about this week cause last week was so good for you!! You are still doing amazing!

Anyone else??? Where are all my 10 by 2010ers????
