Maybe because you were sick and you were eating less?

b- maple & brown sugar oatmeal, coffee

No lunch because I woke up around 12, so breakfast pretty much was lunch.

s- mcintosh apple, mm

d- salmon with spinach, broccoli, and cooked sliced carrot

s- two bowls of lite cookie dough ice cream and some pretzels

chblacks, I think that's true for many but not all people in their late teens to early twenties - the ability to eat whenever one is hungry, without packing on the pounds - but I'm sure a good portion of the posters in this thread actually do have trouble maintaining or losing weight, hence being a part of this website, right? Surely not everyone in here is self image obsessed to the point where they need to see a doctor about their 'body image problems'. That was a little rude on your part, I think. I know that I can't eat whatever I want and still maintain my weight - I used to be that girl. Now I have to work to maintain my weight. I do realize, however, that I can't take my youth for granted so I still appreciate the body I have now because this is probably the best it's going to be, haha.  Anyway, I don't think there is a problem in trying to look the best that you can look, even if you are only in your late teens. Just so it doesn't become a problem and as long as everyone is appreciative of their youth while they have it, you know?

This is a good idea for a thread! 
Before I went to college, I was very skinny to the point where I looked unhealthy - about 100 lbs at 5'5". Size 0 jeans were loose on me, I had no boobs, etc. I never dieted or had an eating disorder, though. In fact, I ate like a pig. Very unhealthy food, all the time. I did play year round soccer, however, and had a steady boyfriend so I was having sex all the time, haha, and honestly I think that had something to do with my not gaining weight. TMI, I'm sorry. Anyway, I got to college, broke up with the boyfriend, stopped playing soccer, started binge drinking three to four times a week, continued to eat unhealthily, and came back for thanksgiving break only to weigh myself and realize that I weighed 135 lbs. That was a bit of a slap in the face. So I started to work out liked I used to and eat healthily, and now I'm down to 128. I do love my body now - I look healthy, not like a stick, and the weight gain I had gave me a butt! I do need to lose a few pounds though, tone up my legs and arms, and get my abs back. So, here goes!

Age: 19

Height:5'5"

Starting Weight: 128

Goal Weight: 120 by june, and, ultimately, about 117 by the time I go back to school at the end of august.

Part you want to tone up:
abs, thighs, arms

Favorite part: My butt!

Good luck everybody!

I agree with everyone in here - 130 pounds for a 5'11" girl is pretty much absurd. That's the build of a supermodel. I am 5'4" and 128 lbs and I consider myself to be thin- if I were 7 inches taller, that would just be ridiculous. Shoot for 150-170! Best of luck.
