"As other hoopers have said, it's probably nothing major - just an increase in activity making your body use more calories. Add healthy snacks, like a banana with peanut butter or hummus & pita chips/veggies. :) If you're really…"

Losing too much weight?
Started this discussion. Last reply by MeowAllieCat Apr 25. 9 Replies 0 Likes
Everyone is saying I look so thin and that my face is looking hollow. I don't necessarily feel this way, but I'm a bit worried. I'm 5'7 and 120. A couple months ago I was 125. My BMI literally just…

Even if you don't believe in the whole Easter thing, I just want to say I hope everyone has a fantastic day.

Kailey M replied to the discussion 'Losing too much weight?'"I have the same problem! I am 5'8 and currently 125 pounds. Over the last few months I've started hooping at least 5 times a week for 30 min - 2 hours. I have a normal & healthy diet but found that I am not eating enough a day to…"
Jeni Parreno replied to the discussion 'Please offer opinions on vendor comments on a good transitional hoop'"The other option for downsizing is transitioning to a 5/8 OD in the LDPE (black tubing) It's going to be lighter than the 3/4 OD and a good stepping stone to get into polypro. If the vendor you're working with doesn't offer that…"
Jeni Parreno replied to the discussion 'Choice For My First LED Hoop'"I highly advise against the festival hoops. They only have 10 LED's which you will be disappointed with. If I were you I would order from http://www.etsy.com/shop/CitivaCreationz?ref=si_shop
You can get a proper hoop with 18 LEDS for about the…"
Moonshadow replied to the discussion 'Losing too much weight?'"I am shorter and weigh more than you, but people tell me all the time that I am really skinny. Most women are just jealous of anyone who is thinner than themselves. And although nearly every doctor uses the BMI, it's not a great way…"

"everyone carries weight differently. 5lbs for you may mean your face looks thinner. i wouldn't go much under 120, but i don't think 120 is unhealthy if you are eating right and exercising. "
StudentDesdemona replied to the discussion 'Losing too much weight?'
"Personally, I'm not a fan of BMI or the scale. If you're active, eating well, healthy, and happy, that's the opinion that really matters. Although it is definitely good to check in with your doctor and see if s/he has any concerns.…"
Allyssa replied to the discussion 'Losing too much weight?'"I'm also 5'7" and I've always gone up or down 5 pounds since I can remember. Mind you, it took me until I hit 15 years old to actually get over 100 pounds so for me now being 130 I feel this is a healthy size. I've gone up…"

"Try tracking your nutrition for a while and see what's up. There's a very good chance you're not getting enough calories to support your activity level. There are a lot of free online services for food logging, MyPlate, SparkPeople,…"
Melissa Walsh replied to the discussion 'Losing too much weight?'"try and keep track of your calories. In order to be healthy, women need 1,200 to 1,500 a day, Sometimes more if they're really active. Sudden unexplained weight loss could mean you're sick. If you're worried, see a doctor. Ya never…"
Jeni Parreno posted a discussionLosing too much weight?
Everyone is saying I look so thin and that my face is looking hollow. I don't necessarily feel this way, but I'm a bit worried. I'm 5'7 and 120. A couple months ago I was 125. My BMI literally just over the underweight line. I just want to hear peoples thoughts on hooping and trying to maintain or gain weight. I feel like it would be an uphill battle. Any tips or ideas would be helpful.See More
Jeni Parreno replied to the discussion 'Why so much hate??'"I feel like this quote is relevant to the whole slut shaming culture and relevant to this topic.
