Let's all post with putting our gaining weigh ins and stats!

What are you doing to gain?? How much have you gained?? And what is your goal??

I am 5'7 and currently 118-122. My lowest was 94 so you do the math!!!

My nutritionist says that 130ish is where I should be..anyone else?

FINALLY I get to post on here!

After three hard weeks with my nutritionist and tears and tantrums!

I managed to halt my loss and maintain last week, and this week:

23ys/female

height: 181 (6 foot i think for you yanks!)

last week: 54 kg

THIS week: 54.7 KG

CAN I HEAR A HELL YEAH

(HELL YEAH)

and after getting over the initial ****'mworthlessandfatandhorriblerestrictnowyo udon't havetogainanymoreohbollocks phase, I finally thought, well, y'know, if I'm gaining, I might as well eat the foods I LIKE anyway - the end result is the same: so now I have a completely new and free attitude to food!

woot

but I wanted to ask: although I don't have a period anymore, I still get bloated/discharge around a certain time of the month and its been happening this week: I know people gain weight with the period, is it possible some of this weight will be period weight even though I don't menstruate anymore?

sorry boys for that question but to be honest, practically half f this planet bleed every month so get used to it....

toodle pip

 well done such a joy to read im 5 ft 11 and 54kg so similar to you . funny i have no period but discharge to i guess im wondering what this is to

appletwo, yep last weeks loss was definitley water weight!

i've been hiding the last week cause my stomach aint better and still can't manage to get past my goal intake =( its horrible!!! people wish me luck im facing an ed sufferers biggest fear today.... A BUFFET and then another birthday straight afterwards... from what i know theres gonna be a caramel mud cake... today is my chance to be normal again and i intend to do it with style and food.... haha lol.

Lowest Weight: 49kg

Last weeks weight: 54.4kg

Week before I got horribly sick: 57.1kg

This Weeks Weight: 56.7kg

Goal Weight: 60kg

 

LINEY-i also have a bday buffet on sunday!  what BMI is ur GW?

was jus read ur journal helen. thank you for your kindness respinding to mine.

a questiion for u. in ur journal oct 23 your 5'10 n 53kg - above you are 5'11 n 54kg.

 your rate of gain has slowed a bit and i know you were talking about hunger. did you push your cals above 2500 to keep the gain rate up.

thanks fidget . my height is inbetween 5ft 10 and 11 . yes my weight gain has slowed ive upped my calories to about 2700 perhaps this isnt enough have to admit in struggling i wish i could be a bit more relaxed about it all after all i need to gain so eat i think but its easier said than done . hopefully ill be able to bite the bullet and get my calories up in the next few days thanks for your concern h x

agruskin: I'll admit, I wasn't actively trying to gain back that pound. It's most likely because I've been eating sooooooooooooo much this past week. Like 3500+ per day.

GOOBY-hey, regardles, from a psych stand point, gaining that pound back was beyond important, so good job! you also started activity up, rt? i think great job getting that pound back!

I'm so proud of all of you! Regretfully, this was the "first" day of recovery away from school and things did not go so well... Hopefully things will get better in the long run, but to be eating again seems kind of overwhelming and I just feel too alarmed to actually be eating what I KNOW I should....

At this rate, recovery is still a far far away goal...

Ugh.  This week has been really busy, I've been like, all over the place, and we're doing rennovations on our kitchen, so eating isn't exactly an easy task.  I thought it might balance since I haven't had the time to work out, either, but now I can see that I was just making stupid excuses to eat less than the amount to gain.  

Could be worse...I could've lost.  Ah well, it's a new week, full of food :)

Guys and gals, you're doing great!

I'm feeling amazing myself:)  Here's where things stand:

Female, 21, 5'3"

Low weight: 77 lbs

Current weight: 109.5

This gives me a BMI of 19.4!  Woo-hoo!  And I have boobs again--hello curves!  Ooh, and I've got muscles!  (Yeah, we're seeing some ab definition coming on!  Yowza!)  I never dreamed I would be able to actually (almost) like my body at such a "huge" size, but folks I'm here to tell you, IT'S HAPPENING!!!

I'm a real girl again!  I had forgotten what it was like. . . .  To those of you who may be struggling, keep on going and don't give up!  I know it's hard to believe, but the day will come when it will all be worth it and you'll see the world through new eyes.
