Thanks for great advice Lexie! I just hope most of it will be muscles.

Thank you for your help again! I will look for those things that you have mentioned and hopefully I will be ready in a month or two to take on new challenges without so many mistakes made.

Thank you a lot cherryjuice for this comprehensive reply! I will do as you have told me. I guess I don't have nearly enough knowledge to get out of my current situation alone as I wasn't even able to lose weight myself, so I will rely on you in this case! Thanks again.

Do you recommend any supplements for speeding up my metabolism? I drink plenty of coffee already and I've heard that it can increase metabolism rate.

Oh, I'm sorry. I should have done that right away. My current weight is 128 pounds and I'm 5'3" and I have already gained 4 pounds in 6 days..

Well, I'm not sure if I'm ready to try another diet, but even if I said that I don't care about gaining diet, I don't want to end up being another 30 pounds heavier as well, so I will go with this diet. As for cutting activity - you are right, I'm definitely doing it too fast.

I made the same mistake with adding activity before. It's my lack of patience, I guess. I'm sorry. I will schedule this for another month.

If I may also ask, how long should I keep increasing calories? Up to like 1800 kcal? Thanks.

Of course I will look into those medical conditions and do some further tests towards detecting them.

I would never thought of it to be honest, but most definitely I cannot rule them out. I have started from 1500 kcal because it was the amount on which I haven't felt neither hungry nor full.

Even though according to the TDEE calculators I should have started from 2000-2100 kcal, but it would just be simply too much.

I haven't eaten 2000kcal in ages and when I did I was feeling pretty full already, so... something was probably wrong before I have even started?

Thank you! I hope I can do it as soon as possible to be honest because it's already three days since I have stopped being on diet and I feel like I lack something, although I don't want to do any more damage to my body, so I will wait! Thank you for supporting me :)

Thank you! I don't rule out any of those conditions, I will check it further and run full blood tests this week - hopefully I will be okay!

I stopped working out as I already felt, that my body is really tired, but I'm still doing cardio twice a week and HITT once a week.

Starting from the next week I will stop doing HITT and I will cut my cardio down to 30 minutes, then next week to 15 minutes and then entirely.

I hope I won't gain too much weight, but it's not the priority now - I just need to get my body back to normal functioning!

Thanks a lot Katyaa for kind words and understanding my situation. I have already eaten a pizza and I feel so bloated. I haven't eaten that much for quite some time already, which is probably why I feel so bad - but I will keep eating a lot and I won't care about any extra pounds that come.

I think I will give it a rest for about two weeks before I will try again as at the moment I literally feel sick about even thinking of another HITT or cardio.

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I took an slower approach with adding my activities. I started from 0 activities and just working out at the gym. After two weeks I have added cardio and then after a month I have added HITT. I will keep eating what I want and doing what I want now.

Also by eating a lot my metabolism should fasten a bit, right? Of course I will also gain additional pounds, but I don't care anymore about this.

I feel like I need to build a good foundation for my future endeavours, so I will just focus on giving my mind and body some rest.

Hey!! So I was trying to lose some weight, but it didn't work for me at all. I started from 1500 kcal and lost a few pounds in two months.

I wasn't even that hungry, while I thought at the beginning, that I will be basically starving.

At the moment I'm at 1200 kcal and I'm doing HITT twice a week and cardio 4x times a week for around 45 minutes.

I didn't cut calories that much, instead I was adding activity as I was already on very low calories due to my very slow metabolism, but out of the sudden

I started to gain weight after being on diet for two months and eating only 1200 kcal! What may be the cause? Weight was dropping very slowly anyway, but at least it was dropping and wasn't increasing like it is now.

So do you have any suggestions how to fasten my metabolism rate a bit? I don't think that there is any point in sticking to current diet, so I will get back to normal eating. I will have some pizza, burgers and I will drink some wine with my friends.

Truth be told, I don't care anymore. There is no point in trying to lose weight on such low calories anyway. I can live being fat and ugly.

I just don't care anymore or at least for today. I just want to have some break from all those restrictions, especially as they don't bring any results.
