I haven't really been counting my calories. I put what I ate today in my fitness pal and couldn't believe how few calories I had (900). I ate every few hours. I eat clean mostly. Having only fruits, veggies, fish, chicken, and nuts. I do have a couple glasses of tea a day. lightly sweetened with sugar. That is one thing I'm not giving up yet. I am satisfied and full from eating this way. Three weeks in.0

The low goal weight, especially on very young women, doesn't concern me all that much. It's the low goal weight coupled with very low calorie consumption that concerns me.
I was very thin, naturally, but I was that thin because I had very, very low muscle mass. Probably only about 80 pounds. And because, while I ate "whatever I wanted," I really didn't eat that much, or that well. I hit my late-20s, got a desk job, met my husband, and started eating regular meals instead of nibbling and snacking, and my weight "caught up to me."
Like everyone else, as I gained weight and as I got older, I didn't just gain fat, I gained lean body mass, too. That's everything but the fat. Organs, bones, muscle. Some muscle is always gained with weight, just like muscle is lost as we lose weight. How much muscle you gain or lose depends on your exercise/activity and your eating habits.
At my high weight of 160, I had about 110 pounds of lean body mass, so if you took every ounce of fat off my body, I'd STILL weigh more than I did in high school. I lost some lean mass as I lost, even trying my damnedest to keep as much as possible. My lean mass is currently between 106-110 pounds... I eat a LOT and push myself hard. So while I was "naturally" 110 pounds as a young'un, that's just NOT going to happen now.
So I urge everyone to find out their body fat percentage and lean body mass, THEN see if that goal weight is still realistic.0 -
