    I eat like 2400 calories a day, and don't gain weight doing so because I eat like 5-6 times a day. I also weight train and do cardio and it's really working! I've gained some great muscle and am not gaining fat hurray!
    My answer:Quality calories and Strength Training!

    loving the advice (quality calories) will do that! thanks hun:wink:

    What do you do as a work out.. I tried the gym too many times for me personally it didn't work :/ I tried every fad out there nope.. Finally 2 weeks ago my mom asked me if I wanted her mountain bike.. Brand new she just didn't use it.. My answer sure! Lol and before I knew it that same day got on the bike and did 3.5 miles now I'm doing 7 & by sticking to no rice and no bread what so ever except of course every now n then like once a month but even then it's like a sandwich or a baguette with my soup. I replaced tempting bread based n rice things with sautéed veggies & if u find the right ones it makes a difference and tastes delicious .. I stick to tuna fish n lemon 1 tbs of mayo n chopped purple onions for lunch & 2 scrambled brown large eggs with chopped onions & shredded cheddar cheese. When I do have meat I don't starve myself I simply bake it & still use my fav toppings I just use the serving size. I get on my bike almost everyday for an hour and do calisthenics 20 min every night. I mean it's not bullet proof maybe eventually I'll plateau but for now it's making for great progress it's been 10 days and I've lost 4 lbs I just keep pushing myself.

    Maybe you should try dancing.. Maybe try for 30 min to your fav radio station or cd .. It actually burns a lot of cal if u get into it.. Changing it up might help you.. When I'm feeling sluggish I just turn on I heart radio & dance my heart out b4 I even notice I'm drenched in sweat

    I've eaten 1200 calories since September of 2011 and since I've lost 65.5lbs, 110 over all but the first 44.5 when I was counting carbs.

    You need to find what works for you and you did just that when you lost your first 10kg. How long did it take and why did you decide on 900 calories?

    If you're doing pure cardio. Add in A LOT of strength training. This will shock your body back into turnin and burnin.

    I keep my calories between 1200-1400 calories daily....I run 3.1 miles, power walk, lift weights, & it has been working perfectly for me. I have lost 55.5 pounds and I've gained muscle. I drink plenty of water daily, & eat very healthy....lots of veggies, fruits, protein, etc.

    Every single person is different...it's finding out what works for "you".....because what works for you might/might not work for me, and vice verses

    Good luck!!
