Hi. I don't mean to offend u but some of u girls have a really low weight (not dangerously low but lower than normal). Some of u even look like being underweight and that's kind of triggering. I sometimes have the feeling that u r not at ur natural set point but THINK u r because u wished that it was ur set point. I really don't want to insult and I am really thankful for ur help but it just bothers me. U just look like bmi 18,5 or so
Hey love,
The answers here all have different weights and set points. I trust that Amalie works very, very hard in making sure that everyone on the team is a good, accountable role model.
Some of us do have a low set point, others do not, but what we all have in common is that we simply eat what we want, when we want to. We don’t restrict. We don’t do endless amounts of exercise.
I can’t say for other people, but I (Xinwei) am definitely more than BMI 18.5 and in fact, I weigh more now that I ever have in my life. In fact, pre-ED I was very thin - what would be considered medically underweight, but that was my natural weight. I anything I wanted and never exercised because I hated it and as you can imagine, getting past that pre-ED weight was a struggle for me, I did gain significantly more and realized that my current set point is higher now that I am older. I don’t restrict myself and eat whatever I crave. If you see my Instagram, I eat pancakes several times a week and I often eat out. I food blog and also work in a restaurant, so I am around food all the time and yet I haven’t gained any weight in months - so yes, I am at my set point.
- Xinwei Amalie: We have answerers with all sorts of bmi's, from the lower end of the healthy bmi range, , to the middle, to a clinically ''overweight'' bmi. You see what you want to see.
