    Been there! It's a bit dissapointing when you realize more than half is water weight and you just gained some of it back.
    It is important to keep up with exercise, healthy eating and a positive attitude.
    Also, I have starved myself to the point of passing out, it is scary! So my advise would be to follow a healthy diet, not one that will also make you lose muscle tissue. We just want to lose fatty tissue, and for that, 2 pounds may be the most you should be losing per week unless you are extremely overweight (which you aren't in your picture).
    Good luck!

    You are not eating enough. Judging by your picture you don't need to lose that much either. What is your goal weight?

    You do not have 36lbs to lose and 1000 is too low, and that's without exercise.

    Don't listen to the negative feedback and just do what works for you. Everybody's body is different. Good luck!

    Agreed with this. Be safe but know that what works for some doesn't work for others.

    I'm sorry, but encouraging someone who is eating very low calories and burning more and losing 6lbs in a week by saying "everyone's different" is stupid, irresponsible and ignorant.

    OP, please listen to some of the (actually educated) people here and take some advice on proper nutrition.

    700 calories a day shouldn' "work" for anybody!!

    Well I'm at 600/900 calories a day. I'm on a supervised diet by a physician so halt on the negative comments and let me finish! Im 5 foot tall and currently at 156lbs I was 226lbs Some days I reach 600 others I do not. Some days I may go to 1000. Just depends on my appetite. I do not have am eating disorder or a mental defect. My meals consist of protein first then veg/other healthy items. 3 meals 3 protein shakes. Active working mother of 3 tots. I've lost 85lbs over the last 18 months and have 25 to go. Yes I have bad days and you will. For those Google doctors who know nothing about an individual treatment plan, Get a real degree and stop being so judgemental! Keep up the good work;. OP

    That is a lot in the first week. In your picture you look pretty slim already (but then, in my picture I look like I've got a cup for a nose and deviousme7 looks like a dog so who knows if it's actually you, but assuming it's you...) so I'm guessing your normal diet is pretty low in calories. Perhaps your increase in physical activity (seen you've been to the gym and jogging) has pushed you into negative calories. Be careful.

    I don't know how tall you are but I know being short = needing fewer calories but I'm 5'1" and would massively struggle on under 1000c.

    Beware that a calorie deficit can slow your metabolism so it could be short term loss and then harder to keep it up. As kp3868, there are diets with low calorie intake (and height does come into that) but she's being monitored and advised by a professional so will be doing this safely.

    Anyway, don't wish to be judgemental of anyone but do be careful.
