in regards to someone saying your body might not want to lose weight they are right if you want to be anorexic then keep loosing
but your bmi is in the range of normal which is good and healthy also your ideal weight (109lbs for first 5 ft and 5 lbs for every in. after) your already under
so there is a chance your body is going to fight you
your profile says you want to tone thats not losing weight thats losing fat which will be replaced by muscle ( 2x's heavier than fat 1lb=2lb muscle ) and only way to tone is cardio low or high intensity

Perhaps it's time to seek medical advice.

Firstly, I just want to say this is my opinion as you asked for it, so please don't take this as an attack nor anyone elses' comments.

Secondly, when MFP says "If every day were like today... You'd weigh XXX lbs in 5 weeks" it is simply an estimation and rarely completely accurate. If you finish your log on the iPhone app it actually states "Your projected weight loss is an estimate based on your total net calories for today. Actual results may vary."

Thirdly, you have probably heard the term "starvation mode" going around. I'm not sure how often people actually go into starvation mode or the specifics about it, but if you search the forums you can get more information about it. I would say it's highly likely that someone eating a diet like yours is dangerously playing with starvation mode. Your body is probably clinging to every last calorie you eat and storing it as fat.

Okay okay, I understand that you are a light eater and that you are busy with a new born and a two year old, but the way you're eating is why you are putting on weight. It's just not a healthy life style and you really need to make time to take care of yourself or you are going to make yourself seriously ill and everything will just be harder. If eating big meals is hard for you, that's fine. But you need to eat more.

How can you eat more? Eat high calorie foods that are healthy for you that contain healthy fats! You should be munching on nuts throughout the day. Avocados would be a great addition to your diet as well as many other food options. Whether you are hungry or not, with your hunger issues you need to remember to eat! Set alarms to have snacks if you have to! It's not hard to eat a handful of nuts while you're working! I know you drink Red bull for energy, but that is not a meal and you would feel much better if you got your energy from food. If you insist on a Red bull for breakfast, eat a banana or another piece of fruit or a piece of wholegrain toast with it!

If you can't manage to make these changes on your own, you really should consider seeking professional help in the form of a doctor or a nutritionist. You need to be healthy for yourself and your family!

Best of luck!

im sorry but try saying that to a 20wk old baby that wants attention and a 2yr old that also wants attention, an i dont have to justify myself it's not a competition on who can do the most you know, i add my food when i can and if iv not had the time i dont it aint a crime last i checked we were all here to support each other and give advice not criticism. sorry to be blunt but i dont like the fact your giving me jip for not logging last i checked i wasn't in school and it aint an exam. sorry i dont live up to your expectations

I'm not sure if this was directed at me, but I will respond anyway.

You want to know why you arent seeing the results you are expecting. You opened your diary, and in my opinion you either dont eat enough or log enough. How can we help you if we dont know the full story? How can we help you if you are unwilling to log what you eat on a regular basis? This is necessary to show the full story.

What I stated was not to show you how great I am, but that being in a similar situation myself, it can be done. You just have to want to do it.

Either way, good luck.

Oy Vey. I'd have TONS of nuts, carrots, cheese sticks and pieces of cheese, Ensure shakes (better, nutritionally than a Red Bull), yogurts, whole-grain crackers, etc. constantly on-hand. I'd try to see if I could build my appetite back up (I don't know whether this is feasible for you), but, if nothing else, I'd make a habit of grabbing FREQUENT healthy snacks (note, since you have SMALL children, I didn't recommend having peanut-butter around until you know what their allergies are) whenever I got a 45-second break from the needs of the children. You are really starving. Nuts, in particular, will give a big boost in your calories and healthy fat-intake.

Good luck!

Looks to me as your having too many sugary drinks, i saw a programme on tele last night and it said that just one sugary/energy drink is equal to one and a half cheesecakes... Maybe this is the reason your gaining
