    So how much were you eating per day, how tall and light are you, what's your goal ?

    Cravingskinny,

    Yarwell has a point, you've got to start with your height and weight to see what's your daily goal for calories. Also, just because you stay within your goal, it doesn't mean that you're good to go. You still have to monitor sugars and carbs. Not that you can't eat them, but WHEN you eat them. I shoot for mid afternoon as my limit for anything sweet. After 3-4 pm, I try to stay away from sugars (maybe a fruit every once in a while). Those are things to keep in mind.
    I went to a nutritionist and we set a 2000-2200 cal goal. She suggested that to keep my metabolism at a higher pace, that I try to have four 500 cal meals instead of three big ones. Also that skipping a meal is a huge no-no because it causes your metabolism to go the opposite way and slow down too much.
    Just some ideas for you to ponder.

    Oh, and be patient, and stick with it. It took me a couple of months (about 10 weeks), but once the weight started going away, the improvements were basically daily. Everyone is different, but patience is always a good thing to have.

    Good luck.

    Why 900 calories? MFP minimum is 1200.

    Keep going. Mine was slow at first too. I haven't lost much in inches, but the scale eventually followed. It's taken me almost a year to drop 40 lbs and I've only gone down one size. And yes, don't just look at your calories, be sure to pay attention to sugars, carbs, protein, fiber, etc...AND drink water!!

    How much do you weigh now? Your goal of 97 pounds is very low and potentially unhealthy.

    You are not eating enough. 900 calories isn't enough to fuel your body. You need to eat at the very minimum 1200.

    That is way 2 little. You need at least 1200 NET calories a day. I would say prob more like 1500-1700 a day for what your doing. Your body is in starvation mode

    While I agree, the calories are WAY too low, if she is 148cm that would make the OP about 4'10"--so 97 lbs would actually be a healthy weight for her height. But yes girl, eat more. Eat at least 1200 calories a day. I eat a minimum of 1400 and I've been losing steadily since late January. Food is your friend (when you're eating nutritious foods in the right quantities)!

    OP: go check out the "eat more weight less" group for ideas? At least listen to the youtube channel and see if its something for you.

    Ok, you're 4' 10" and your goal is 97 lbs but you don't mention your current weight.

    900 calories is far too low for anyone. Even if you were at your goal weight that isn't enough.

    Up your cals and you will see the weight fall off. I eat 1600-2000 cals a day have lost 25 lbs in 4 months. But I am 5'7, so your needs will be much different. Try going up to 1200 and see what happens. If still nothing, try 1400. You have to feed your body or any weight you DO eventually lose will be lean body mass and not fat.

    Can you make your diary public? It is hard to help without seeing it.

    I would agree with several of these individuals...right now I am on 1400 cal a day and am seeing results (only two weeks in so we'll see). What I used to do was try to eat as little as possible...your body will go into a safe mode and not lose much because it is trying to hold onto what you have - you won't lose weight this way. If you haven't I would talk to a nutritionist so they can help you figure out what is best for your specific goal, they've helped me and put me on MFP.
