I'd like someone to keep me motivated too. And we could share tips and stuff and our work out plans. Gotta get rid of that baby fat Laughing !

I thought u were done losin? Anyhow.. I wont congradulate u.. Because last I knew, u were eating 400-500 calories a day to get where u are..I wont congradulate someone for losing weight when their in the process of developing an eating disorder to get there.. As u know ive been struggling with my e/d for a long long time, and it only makes me so sad to see someone starting to develope one, almost kinda consiously....If u changed ur mind and have started eating healthy, and are losing the weight healthily, then I am definitly happy for you. If not, then I hope u change your ways, for you, and for your son, before it gets way out of hand. Plus.. The weight u lose when starving yourself (which is still 500 cals a day of course, and anytihng under 1,200) then that weight just comes back and u would be depressed....I wish I never wouldve started losing weight by starving, purging etc.. Trust me, its much better healthy..U'll end up trapped, u have no idea how bad it can get.. But anyhow im babbling..Maybe u have changed your ways, but last I knew, u said u were barely eating at all..?

I dont get why people are congradulating...That only makes things worse, its a motivator for people that have this problem to keep starving because their 'doing so well' and 'look so good' . .. . . U looked good b4, u look good now.. But u dont need to keep losing.. And definitly dont need to keep starving. I remember u asked me a long time ago how to lose healthy, ,and I tried to talk to u about it,then next I knew u eating 500 cals a day.
I know it might make me a hypocrite, I just hate seeing other people on a terrible path.

Blu i'm glad your happy but I have to side with kari on this one. Having also suffered with an e/d for all of my teenage years and still struggling with one now I cannot support your weight loss unless its done in a healthy manner. If you were eating normally (as kari said about 1200 calories which is considered weight l.O.S.S.) then I would congrtulate you like crazy but it scares me so much to think that your getting pulled into this trap. It's hell it really is and I hope you get out of it before it pulls you down too deep.

It's not so much that i'm doing it on purpose...I just don't eat because i'm not hungry...Honest. I get full really fast and i've always had a slow metabolism because of it. My mom has the same problem, maybe it's genetic? I dunno it's kinda weird. Like at a party all my friends will be pigging out and they're like, "geez you hardly ate..Why aren't you piggin out w/ us?" it's not cuz I choose not to, it's because I seriously fill up fast. I can eat half of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and feel full. I'm actually not eating 500 calories a day anymore, now i'm up to 800 or so. I haven't been losing the weight by starving myself or anything like that. I seriously have been working out every day. Lol, trust me, i've tried to lose weight before by dieting and it just doesn't work with me because I have such a low metabolism.

Think you look great before and after, you dont need to do so much working out though. I think you looked fine.

800 cals is starving.. Wether ur hungry or not, u just gotta force urself to eat at least 1200 no matter what. For your health and for the sake of taking care of a baby. And thats what I used to say too that im 'not hungry'.. And after a while, your not. .But I know u began it because b4 when I talked to u, u werent down that low, and were asking questions about losing weight and being anorexic etc.. Then u told me u started restricting. .So although u may not 'feel' hungry, your body is...And losing weight on that low of cals will just come right back if u keep it up.. And u might be losing by excersizing.. But it doesnt make it healthy, its even unhealthier if ur excersizing on that low of cals. I used to do the same thing. .And I still have trouble with my e/d. .But get out while u can. The only way I ever did better (which was for my baby) was by forcing myself to up my cals. .Sure, I didnt feel hungry for em either at first. I just really hope u save ur self b4 its too late.
