    I can eat 1200 calories a day, work out, eat all organic and not lose an ounce. The only way I have EVER been able to lose weight is thru intermittent fasting. I've done it for years and it works for me.

    You could be putting your body into starvation mode! Eating too few calories can cause your metabolism to slow down.

    Starvation mode? Not likely! This whole starvation mode thing is so greatly exaggerated.

    Youre not supposed to be 115. *kitten*, my goal weight is higher than your weight now

    How exactly would you know? 115 is perfectly healthy for someone who's 5'2". My goal weight is even lower.

    I am 4'11 and stats at the Dr.s say I should be 97-110 and no more...what... my goal weight is 115-120 give or take because when I was 100 lbs I looked worse than when I was 115, but it also depends on each persons body type.

    Hi guys, thanks for all your help. I definitely do not drink enough water. Could someone explain what the correlation between sodium intake and weight loss? it was mentioned several times but I didn't know it was a factor. LOL on the beer comment! I just want to clarify 'cause I found it really funny. I do not drink. I am underage. Good point, though! :-) Lots of college students do.

    salt in excess can cause your body to retain water, it is commonly reffered to as bloating or water weight. a spike in sodilum intake can show a "weight" gain of 1-10 lbs depending on your metabolism, the amount of salt you eat and the amount of water you drink. A healthy diet includes some salt. I always drink 1-2 extra glasses if I know im having or have had a salty treat or meal. add sodium to your diary. and take a look. Im always up if I go over what MFP sets for me, if I stay under im fine. I tend to retain water when its my TOM, extra water and my doctor percribed me to take a multi vitamin and calcium supplement to help with water retention. Mint herbal tea helps too. Helpful note: if you enter something in your food diary and it has calories but nothing else it is probably a misentered item, search again. Excess salt in some people also can affect blood pressure, mood and slow metabolism. I suggest looking at your salt intake and always talk to your doctor if you are having a hard time, they can help.
