    Martina, 600 calories a day is way too low. As others have stated, you are in starvation mode. Please read that link above from Mayo Clinic. 1200 is the magic number not to go below. Please rethink your strategy and think long term. The point is to loose weight and do so healthfully for a long and healthy life.

    While she is certainly under-eating if 600 is true, this is incorrect information. Starvation mode, as referenced, is a myth. 1200 is not the magic number. The magic number is your TDEE for maintenance, and TDEE - x for weight loss where x equals a number appropriate for your current weight and amount you need to lose... all while providing adequate nutrition to meet your macros and micros.

    ^^^^ YES!
    I cringe every time somebody answers with "you are in starvation mode". uugg! >:)

    You are DEFINITELY under-eating. To put things in prospective the girl who runs this website: http://thebananagirl.com/ eats 3000 calories a day. Your body is now doing everything it can to stop losing weight because you are starving it. The best way to lose weight is to make sure you are eating the recommended amount of calories this website suggests, choose a fitness goal, and start training for it. Remember that the point of losing weight should always to be healthy. I recommend you talk to your doctor about your weight-loss goals and they will help you achieve it in a safe and healthy way.

    You are 25 years old according to your profile, but is deliberately starving yourself like a silly, ignorant teenager.....Grow up, get some help, start reading and learn more...Oh, and eat more food.....
    And for the clever people who just love to display their brilliant knowledge on the semantics of the word "starvation", the issue here is not your cleverness, it is someone who thinks eating 600 calories a day is OK......

    Dispelling the "starvation mode" myth is pretty necessary, as demonstrated every day on these forums.

    The OP Is not in "starvation mode." She is starving herself.

    Well yes I actually know I'm not eating enough, but since I'm not losing weight anymore I don't know what to do
    Well losing more weight isn't the answer.

    Be healthy, be well. Eat more calories and seek some professional help.

    You'd rather people just left the incorrect information for everyone to believe?

    If someone eats 600 calories a day, they're certainly going to lose weight rather than maintain/gain.

    You need a doctor, not advice on how to lose more weight here. Seriously.

    Did someone pee in your cornflakes? How about showing sensitivity to someone who may have a problem, instead of calling them names? Do you call people with anxiety disorders or depression ignorant and silly? Do you tell them to just grow up and stop being sad? I think perhaps you could use a little more cleverness.
