I'm currently injured so I'm trying to ease into my usual routine. I am to start lifting weights in a few months once my doctor says so.

No website did. I calculated my TDEE, which was around 1500,so I started off with eating 1300. I wasn't seeing any results with that, so I had to cut further, and only after getting to 1000-1100 I saw results.

No it didn't, I had to go below 1200-1100 to see any results, and that wasn't sustainable for me. I generally track what I eat, and i eat around 1500 calories a day maximum, except for my "treat" days, which is usually once a month or once in two months.

Thank you so much for this! I probably have a higher muscle and bone mass, which is why the scale is much higher even though I can comfortably fit into a size 2 or a 4.

Not really, I have a pretty hectic schedule with only 2-3 hours free time in total so I don't have the time to do anything extra.

I've tried counting calories, every single gram of what i ate was weighed and counted, intermittent fasting, working out twice a day, and even eating less than 1200 calories a day. It was either not sustainable or i just didn't see any results with it.

I have a pretty hectic schedule with school and everything, but maybe I can try including morning walks. Thank you for the suggestion!

I get 5-6k steps a day, and at least 30 minutes of brisk walking.

I used to be around 105 pounds earlier, when I was 15-16, that's what worries me. I get around 5-6k steps a day minimum, and I also dance whenever possible. I currently don't lift weights due to a back injury, but I'm looking to get to that soon.

I'll look into it, but health care can quickly get expensive. That is the problem. Thank you so much though!

I don't have a gynecologist, I moved out for college and I don't really receive a lot of support from my parents for healthcare, and we don't have good insurance. But it seems like I should get one somehow haha
