5'9. I'm a (treadmill) distance runner, sometimes bike to work, do weighted chin-ups when I have any time off from work, and average around 10.5k steps a day, so I imagine I burn more calories than the average person. In truth I don't look too bad, but I've always had body image issues and felt I kinda trend toward what some would refer to as skinnyfat. After years of wondering about it, I decided to see what effects changing my diet would have. Now that I've found my baseline, time to practice some discipline.

Instead of focusing on the scale, you might want to consider other ways to improve your fitness and well-being. For example, you could try some strength training exercises to build muscle and tone your body. Remember, there is no ideal weight for everyone, but there is an ideal weight for you. And you are the only one who can decide what that is. But with that said, you might not want to be looking at losing weight. Building up muscle takes food. And it is hard to cut and bulk at the same time. And full disclosure I don't eat what I should at all. So I am not following my own advice. Like today I just had 500 cals and felt bad when I had one Sweet tart . So I personally no the issues one can face when they are trying to make it to the body they want.

EDIT: Sorry I saw your issues with losing weight at your size and forgot that you said you were having 2300 calories. I am going to leave this up in case someone else needs to read it. But TC is eating. But still don't know why he is trying to get smaller.
