So I haven’t gotten a period since December 2024 and to start off, I’m 17 and a distance runner going into college this fall. (Will be running for my college too) my Sophmore year I was 5’4 and maybe like 100-105 lbs then got my first period and go to like 120 lbs. I didn’t feel happy in my body so I slowly started counting calories then took a break during cross country season. By junior year, January 2025, I missed my period. I started losing more weight and got to around 113 then 110 by the summer. My mom found out and we saw a nutritionist but I lied and said I got it back so she would stop bugging me. I’m now around 108 lbs and 5’5. I still want to lose more weight because I feel big but I also kinda want my period back? Idk I want it back because I don’t want to get injured running like a stress fracture but I also am terrified of gaining weight. So I just feel trapped and I obviously can’t stop exercising so does anyone have advice on if it is possible to get it back without gaining weight? Idk if that’s possible.

(Female) I’m going into my freshman year of college and will be starting xc training in a week or so. It’s d3 but I still want to perform to my best. Does anyone have any tips from going to highschool to college training? Like how much harder is it and should I be doing anything differently?
