Okay, so my goal is to be a healthy weight of 110 pounds for my 5'2 medium frame, and a current weight of 115. I take in about 1, 750- 1800 calories a day, a few days with more! Up to about 2, 500! However, I left starvation mode from eating any where from 500 to 800 calories a day and then a binge soon to follow. It has been about two weeks, and I have gained 5 pounds- which places me at the current weight of 115... I burn 1700 calories on a normal day, just being alive and doing the activities that I do. I would like to lose the last five pounds, but am unsure how. I go to a private school and have pants already for the school year and cannot buy more. I have to fit into them ;) So, if I eat 2000 calories a day, will I gain permanent weight? I am just truly unsure of how much to eat a day!
If your clothes fit you ok then I doubt losing only 5 pounds will help you much. It'll just be a number on the scale. What you should strive to do is maintain your weight so you clothes will continue to fit like they do right now.
Based on your values you gave me your BMI is 21. You are kinda close to the underweight portion of the scale so I dont think you should be losing any weight.
Well, I would like to lose about 5 pounds. I would still be in a healthy range!
It sounds like you are in recovery from an eating disorder, is that true?
It's more of a trial and error thing. Try 2000 for a week or so and see what happens. If you gain, you can lower the amount. If you lose, well, that's what you want, right? And if you maintain, you can choose to keep it there or take off a few hundred calories to lose.
I have left starvation mode!
Eating 2000 cals a week would prob either maintain you or make you. If you are that concerned with loosing the last 5 lbs you should calorie count and have between 1300 to 1400 a weekand you will loose it in time at that weight you shouldnt be concerned keep in mind you hold about 5lbs of water weight that changes daily keep away from hi salt and watch you sodium... good luck i am sure at 5'2 and 115 you are perfect but for me people all say the same and it really comes down to how you feel.....
