    So you lost 4 pounds in 4 weeks (congrats!!) and you feel frustrated because you didn't lose anything in a week since (relax it's only been a week weight does fluctuate). I've gone up 3 pounds one week, and lost it all within the next 2 weeks before it's normal. Chill also I don't think you're really eating 800 calories for obvious reasons, but I think what's wrong is you have a mentality that you have to eat that few calories to lose weight.

    What's your current height and weight? Also I'd reccomend you use a food scale, and eat the calories reccomended by MyFitnessPal eat the intake provide not 800 calories once you start tracking your intake better.

    Thank you very much for your pleasant response! It was extremely disheartening to read the rude responses I received when all I was looking for was advise! People can learn a lot from you, Bravo. I'm 5'1, weigh 170lbs. I do weigh my food, measure everything and scan all bar codes through this app. I do eat 800-1000. calories per day. My average is 800. I do work out 1.5 hrs 4 days a week & 2 hrs sat & sun. I eat all day 6 small meals a day.

    I agree with you that I should chill. I'm not happy with only 4 lbs but I'll get there. Thank you for your support, keep being awesome.

    I don’t see anyone who was being rude. 800 calories is way too low unless you’re on a medically-supervised diet. If that’s your true amount, you are doing some serious damage to your body.

    Yup. You can easily eat double that and lose weight. I'm five feet tall, 133 pounds and can lose 0.5 lb/wk on 1700 calories.

    Eat more. By the time you start to see the effects of low calories, it's too late to quickly turn it around.
