in Goal: Maintaining Weight
I was skinny fat all I wanted was to tighten some things up. I am lifting weights and that's going well. I am eating quite a lot about 2500 cals a day, and still I am losing weight. I am now 117 pounds and 5'7" No idea why I can't stop losing weight!

    You might consider speaking with a physician about this continued weight loss.

    Eat a cup of ice cream every night. That ought to solve it.

    Sounds to me like you are still not eating enough. Its too bad you can't see a doc, that would be a great option.

    I'm not doing the weight lifting thing but yeah, the weight is still dropping here and I've been in maintenance for around 4 months :tongue: I hit a new low of 119.5lbs last week and I'm 5ft 6in. Still in the normal range, but only by a few pounds now. No advice, but let me know if you figure it out :laugh:

    I suppose I could ask my trainer what he thinks?

    There is your problem, most likely.

    There have been a couple of times in the past when I suddenly found that I couldn't stop losing weight. I'd set out to lose 5 lbs and end up losing 10 without being able to halt the downward progress after the 5. I think it had to do with the fact that I had gotten so used to eating to lose, that I wasn't upping my calories enough to maintain. I wish I had that problem now. :ohwell:

    Move to Canada! Then you can see a doc about anything for free! I can't imagine having to pay out of my pocket just to find out what's making me unhealthy.

    Eat less. There's no way you'll get to starvation mode and stop losing weight on 2500 cals a day ....
