i was anorexic as a teen~ conventional weight-loss never worked for me, so i stopped eating... i dropped from a size 10 to a 4 and had skin hanging off me in weird places. pretty gross, in retrospect.
as soon as i started eating food again, i gained weight uncontrollably, despite following a vegetarian diet and being very active (i danced, did gymnastics, worked out with a trainer, and even taught cardio dance classes at the gym). it was only in my late 20s that i was finally diagnosed with hypothyroidism~ no wonder conventional diet/exercise weight loss didn't work.
now, i manage my thyroid issues with regular blood work and medication; i don't have a prescribed diet, though i'm careful and watch what i eat more so than the average person. there are still days when i'm haunted by negative thoughts about my size, but i'm doing the best i can with what i have.
there are enough people out there who will shame you for your body; don't be one of them.

I have recently. I used to be tiny, I'm 161cm and I was like 50kg but since leaving home I gained a stone. It bothered me for some time, until I saw the upsides of it. Bigger boobs and bum, I've since managed to lose a little bit and hit an equilibrium weight. I'm 58kg but still quite slim as my waist is tiny. But it takes a lot of thinking and losing weight and gaining it again until I was truly happy
I'm out of shape but my weight is okay and never has really been an issue.
just need to convert that belly fat into muscles... my weight should be more or less the same (1m95, 88kg)
Yeah I want to push to 250lbs. lean but can't seem to get there.

I was very heavy in my early teens and i definitely have a problem with food. I just love it too much.
I lost a lot of the weight but recently gained some back by just not paying attention and being spoiled by a guy so I'm currently back on the road to my weight loss.
And yes, many insecurities came back with the weight gain unfortunatly.
I'm still more comfortable in my skin than before, but I think that just comes with age.Yeah, because I'm a bit underweight and recovering from anorexia so people still love to tell me to eat more or that I "look sick" every here and then. I'm just happy if I manage to keep my current weight stable now tbh.
I have but people around me tend to tell me all the extra pounds are in my head. I exercise and try to eat healthy as a method of keeping myself calm about it.
That is a good weight for that height. Don't go lower. But heve yoir muscle/fat ratio checked. That is more important. I am 1.65 m and 61 kg and I don't look fat at all.
I have been underweight my whole life and I have been trying to gain weight for the longest time now (since I was six years old) and it was not until recently did I gain only 13 pounds. I'm trying to gain at least seven more pounds.
I'm underweight now sure if I have anorexia or not but I just don't like eating too much food if I do my belly hurts.
I was chubby alm through highschool and hated myself. Then I became severely anorexic at 17 and that's been an uphill battle for me ever since.
I have problems with losing weight. I just can't keep the weight on. Plus, I'm mildly anorexic.
When I was a teen I had a severe eating disorder and was sickly thin. Ended up in the hospital actually. It was horrible.
I'm sure you look great now!!! Congrats on the weightloss. You should be proud of that.
Yup. I keep gaining it. Like experience, but it's fat.
Yes, I has always been a bit on the skinny side, but that's over now
Yes. I was severely underweight at one point. 6ft tall and 120lbs.
