    You need to make it public under settings. I can't see it.

    I am truly hoping you are kidding. I think you need to see a doctor or professional. You are not eating anywhere near enough.

    Either your not eating enough or your not logging all your food. You need to be hitting your calorie goal rather than eating as little as possible.

    Your trying to lose 15 pounds which is a fairly small amount so the healthiest was would be to set MFP to 'loose 0.5 pounds a week' and then eat to those numbers. Otherwise you will loose lean body fat and wreck your metabolism.

    im new to this and i can see you're way under eating, i would suggest doing some research and you will see that u can eat way more than you think u can. your gonna do more harm than good eating this amount.

    um..Wow..you are not consuming nearly enough calories. You are putting your body into starvation mode and it will start to use your muscle for energy and store fat. Your end result will be possibly lighter but eventually plateauing on the scale and a flabby, weak body. I'm sure that's not what you are going for. Eat more balanced and stop drinking coffee in place of meals. I think you could find some major insight to your body type on the blogs about going from Skinny Fat to Skinny Fit.

    In all honesty, this in NOT normal, and you need to speak to a professional. You will be much better off if you do. You need to feed your body. It is the only one you have, even if you are not happy with it right now. I think logging may actually be bad for you right now. Please eat. Food is not the enemy.

    I totally agree with the majority of responses on here. You are not eating nearly enough. In addition, looking at your photo you do not really look to have any weight to lose, you already look very slim. Please take care of yourself and maybe seek help from your doctor x

    to be honest and blunt eating so little you are putting yourself at risk , your body NEEDS more just to function , all your organs are going to stuggle to perform there daily tasks , your so young and you dont want to damage your body rushing to loose some weight

    You definitely need to up your calorie intake. I would aim closer to 1400. I know it sounds scary, but it is really worth it. I think you should also try and get a more substantial breakfast, maybe porridge with berries or toast with eggs and a banana? If eating a lot at meal times is hard, maybe try to eat snacks in between like nuts or dried fruits. Try and eat lots of healthy fats and protein, you definitely need to start eating more. Good luck c: x

    It's not a competition to see who can consume the fewest calories. It's not even a goal to try to eat as few calories as possible. The goal on this site is to eat the number of calories that will keep your body functioning properly without harm. Not too far over, not too far under. That low of a calorie intake for an extended period of time can lead to problems such as hair loss, skin changes, heart arhythmia, loss of bone density, loss of muscle strength, and other things. Being healthy is the goal.

    I can only hope that you are just not logging everything. This isn't even borderline eating disorder, it's basically already in effect. You need more food or some really not-fun things are going to start happening very soon.

    I mean, if you don't mind your hair falling out and stuff..

    Some do initially, but much of it is water, and it will reverse itself. You may not gain. Some of it depends on how long you have been eating this low. But don't let that stop you. Because what you are doing now is unhealthy and even dangerous. No amount of weight loss is worth what you are doing now. Eat more.

    More fruits and veggies and lean protein. Less processed food. Drink lots of water.
