    What’s your stats? Age, gender, weight...etc?? It also may be time to report this to a doctor instead of a forum.

    Also it may be a good idea to stop what you're doing and begin from the beginning

    Do you weigh your food?

    You may not be logging properly. If you are not losing weight you probably want to weigh everything. I would be hungry on 900 calories. There are stickies with lots of good info at the top of the forum

    Why quickly?

    This thread tells you have had a history of anorexia and also that you are eating late at night as a routine and you keep eating too much.

    I am not sure if you are eating 800-900 and binging late at night or what. More details would be helpful.

    Stop. Reset. Begin again. This time with a sensible plan and NOT a crash diet. And like another poster said - maybe have a check up with your Doctor. Successful weight loss takes time, commit yourself to the long haul!

    If you don't weigh yourself how do you know you're not losing weight?
