That's way too little food Joplin, and that's probably why you're gaining weight. The fluctuations in energy intake are probably stressing your metabolism and it might be holding on to fat to compensate

IBI, I think some of us are meant to be fleshy/curvy. I almost never lose that 'fleshy statue look' as I call it, even though I'm trying to at least get muscle underneath. At best my top half will get bony and flat. VB is pretty lanky in the first place, not curvy like you. If you need to look at a spice chick-Emma or Gerry are more your shape and still beautiful.
The only thing that pops to mind is to replace your sodas with tea (for caffiene) or natural juice with club soda (for bubbles), still calories, but less HFCS and whatever other crap they put in soda. I lost some bloat & cellulite when I stopped with the soda.

Well I literally lay in bed all day. Getting up to go to the bathroom or kitchen to fill up my cup is the extent of my daily activities. I know thats not healthy, but shit I'm pretty sure when they made the recommended cal intake they expected people to walk around a little bit...more than 5 feet to the bathroom a few times a day..ahah.

Curvy doesn't mean weight, it means shape. Did you pop out those back and hip curves from nowhere? If so-damn! ;D

Hehe. I figured. Curvy shapes can be small. You do look nice and curvy though, even if you don't like it. ;D

I think you look fantastic here.
I'm 5'8", according to my doctor. I think I'm technically somewhere between 5'7" and 5'8", but anyway. I'm 134 lbs, and I definitely not 'too skinny'. I'm still what you'd probably call curvy. I've got a bigger frame, and I'm kind of at one with my size now. I know BMI is disputed for various reasons, but I still think, given that the range is pretty wide, it's a good indicator of where a person stands. If you've got a BMI less than 18, it's probably too thin. One higher than 25, probably too heavy. Unless you're a bodybuilder, or what have you. I know people get tight about numbers, but they don't lie so much.
I don't think Posh looks good. I think she looks freaky, way too tan, and her limbs are stick like. But I don't care, lady is an adult and can live her life as she sees fit. Honestly? She doesn't seem like she's going to get any *more* skinny, I really doubt. I don't think she's going to die of an eating disorder. Flirting with anorexia is probably no more dangerous than smoking, which is yeah, unhealthy. That's how I see it. I try not to focus on celebrity weights so much anymore. It just makes me feel fat, fat, fat. And I probably wouldn't otherwise.

Eeeeeewwwwwwww, she is not an attractive woman at all. She looks like a skeleton with withered leather over it--ugh, the least the poor gal could do is smile rather than looking so constipated all the time! i.breath.in you look just fine--and your FACE! It's so, so, so much prettier than Victoria's! I can empathize about being extra thin your whole life and suddenly not being quite as thin as before. I used to be naturally as this as Victoria--at times, I got so thin that it didn't even look human. It looked gross.

If you want to lose weight, eat 1500 cals a day and focus on weight exercises. Hard ones, not "lolz i have 5-lb dumbbells"

wow. in that pic your body shape is -super- similar to mine, right down to the boobies.
of course, you look maybe 48 shades darker (but that could just be the b&w)
you have a bit more curve to your legs though (which is sexy.i think i have stick-legs).
most of my weight is in my ass...... but i don't mind so much. :P

Doesn't lowering calorie intake too much actually slow your metabolism, which would make it more difficult to lose weight? I don't mean just a reduction, but a dramatic drop. I'm talking out of my ass here, but isn't that one of the principles behind calorie restriction (the diet where you eat very little that's supposed to make you live to be 120)?

in the morning ill have some cottage cheese or chicken strips or a smoothie
are these chicken strips fried?? they should be natural chicken with no breading or salt. sure, it's a chore to fix yourself... but it's worth it.
afternoon ill have a lean quesine
BAD!!!! that shit is loaded with sodium!!!! i wondered why i never lost weight on these things... and that is why. i've converted to cedarlane and amy's for my frozen dinner needs.
dinner ill have something else like crab meat salad
tell me, is there mayo in this salad?? is it imitation crab meat??
and then i eat something when i get home from work, usually a cheeseburger but sometimes something low cal depending on how hungry i am.
if you get a cheeseburger, don't eat the bun. wrap it in lettuce. boca burgers are your friend :)

Because there is an emotional tie and relief to binge eating. Then feelings of guilt arise after the act hence why people begin to vomit; to get the "guilt" out of them. That's just one reason. Of course there are more.
Actually for me the purging is just as much an emotional relief as the eating. Maybe more so. Sometimes the eating is just something that enables you to purge. It feels like all the bad comes out and you are squeaky clean inside. At least until your teeth start to rot out and your throat is always sore, then guilt and shame hit. BAD cycle.

Yes, I've heard that too. Eating very little does make you thin, but you won't get progressively thinner after a point...Because your metabolism becomes more efficient to compensate, and better efficiency means less cell reproduction, which means longer life...Supposedly. I'm no scientist, I just read magazines.
I think the idea that dramatically dropping calories will make you 'fat' is because once you've got that efficient metabolism, you become like an 'easy keeper' horse. So you stop needing high levels of calories, and if you go back to the higher calories, you put on lots of weight. Again, not a scientist. I am sure there are billions of variables.

i eat imitation crab meat the stuff says it doesnt have many calories.
sodium actually will prevent you from losing weight? i thought i thought it just could cause a bit of bloating and water retention.

don't eat imitation anything. it's not natural... therefore bad for your body. like splenda.
it was hard for me to do at first, but now i PREFER those types of food. :) they are yummy! and i feel good after eating it... i never feel heavy and bloaty.

I second Corgan's idea to go vegan. I lost weight when I was a vegan too, and wish I had the willpower to stick with it, but the BOCA burgers are absolutely disgusting to me.

all imitation crab meat is is a blend of different seafood including crab i dont understand how that could be bad.

snip: Imitation crab is made from Alaskan or walleye Pollock, a type of cod that is versatile, with limited flavor, but abundant and inexpensive. Flavorings and coloring agents give it that crab-like flavor and texture.

2 weeks ago I ate at a non-organic restaurant and had farm-raised salmon and they cooked in MARGARINE and probably cheap-ass non-fresh herbs. But i was ravenous and needed something bad and fast. I thought my body could handle the shit but it took a week to feel as godly as I normally do and my skin is back to where it was (thank God!). I was shocked as to the difference it made in how i felt and looked even (only I would notice though).
I'm 100% organic. Zero dyes or other shit.

I wasn't speaking about the crab meat that you eat, I probably shouldn't have ran my thoughts together. I meant that going vegan would help you lose weight if you wanted, I really don't know anything about the crab meat stuff. I was referring to myself about only eating processed foods, but I didn't really clarify so sorry about that. I wasn't trying to say to you that "All you eat is processed foods" (even if you do, I don't really know ::) ) But you look great anyway....

I tend to think she looks more like she doesnt eat al all because she was never this skinny back when spice girls started it was only after she had kids and that rumor david cheated on her that she got this skinny.
