Nicole honestly you should NOT be trying to lose weight now. I hear a lot of eating disorder in your "voice" still. You have only very recently begun to recover. Yes, you have regained some weight to put you in a healthy (but still low) range for your height but that is just the tip of the iceberg. Its not like you regain some weight and suddenly your mind and body is "healed". Your body is most likely still in a huge state of deficiency, hormonal upheaval, and "confusion". The more you worry about what to eat, how much to eat, how to lean out etc it is just going to make you more anxious and take you further away from your goals of healing and living a normal life.
The last thing you should be doing now is trying to get "leaner" or lose weight. You need to learn what it means to eat normally, eat healthfully and see how your body reacts to that. And you need to begin the hard work of learning to love yourself and accept your body as is no matter what you weigh or what your bodyfat % is. This is KEY in fully recovering from AN.
