Alright So I am a recovered bulimic. I have been recovered for about two years now and I am now trying to loose the weight I regained after recovering. I gained about 30 pounds when I recovered. I weighed 165 and now I am down to 145 but lately over this past week I have been eating foods I wouldnt normally eat since its the holidays and I have been working out less and I have been loosing weight. In the past week I wake up weighing a pound less, I am not for sure what is going on. I also feel bigger not like I am loosing weight. I checked to see if the scale is broken by putting a 10 pound dumbbell on it and it read right, any explanations for this?

Thank you
 
well, i don't know what you normallly eat, calorie wise, I've heard of people that eat too few cals end up loosing some weight when they eat a good amt of cals. The theory is your body goes into starvation mode and stops burning cals, but when given the proper amt of cals, it starts burning them again......Thats the only thing I can think of.

How many cals do you eat on a daily basis, do you know? Also, i'm curious since your at 145 what your heigth is??

If you ever stopped burning calories completely you would be dead. ;)
 
I am 5'4 so my bmi is about 24, one from being overweight. I am typically really healthy. I eat about 1500 - 2000 calories daily, but this whole week I have been eating probably 2000-2500 with mostly healthy stuff but some "bad" foods too. I have also been only doing 2 miles and I usually do 3 to 5 with some weightlifting.
 
well, I don't know hun, i'm no expert, maybe you'll want to find Steve and ask him, he's very educated on these kind of things
 
I didnt' mean completely stopped...I just meant slowed down (sticks out tongue)

Haha - I would like to see a little animation for "sticks tongue out". Last time I was on yahoo messenger(years ago) they had one so I'm sure this place could if they wanted.
