    This post makes me sad.
    Especially since seeing people eat around 2k a day and losing weight.


    That is because you are Awesome and have given the closest thing to a road map.

    All hell broke LOOSE on this topic! I think I'm going to LOSE my mind the next time someone misspells the word LOSE. We are on a weight loss sight and most of us want to LOSE weight so our clothes will become LOOSE. I highly doubt anyone wants LOOSE weight unless they have a LOOSE screw. Please think before you play fast and LOOSE with advice. To the OP, cut LOOSE this topic thread and seek professional advice from someone who knows your medical history and goals. LOSE yourself in loving that grandbaby!

    They recommend at least 1200 cals per day and I personally do not believe that's even enough! YOU CANNOT STARVE YOURSELF LEAN!! I eat 2000 cal per day to maintain and I'm pushing 40 so I would think more on the lines of 1400 cals per day, especially if you're working out. EAT! You cannot live the rest of your life eating only 900 cals per day, you're setting yourself up for failure, rebound weight gain, and possibly an eating disorder. Eat several small meals/snacks per day, every 2.5-3 hours and build muscle to help increase your metabolism. I do all that and it's how I can eat 2000 cals per day as an older woman...

    Really...?

    It's water fluctuations. Weight changes take much more time than 4 days, if you weigh yourself more than once or twice a month you're just looking at day to day changes in water weight. Totally silly, even a month is a small measurement of time when it comes to body changes.

    Open your diary and we'll see if we can help. Be sure you are eating salads . . . they burn off more calories to digest than they contain.

    I agree you could be constipated and also, sometimes proteins contain alot of sodium and you could be holding onto water weight. That is exactly what is happening to me right now. I don't even salt my food and I still get too much sodium. Very frustrating if you like cured meats.

    Some very good advice given here, the best of which is patience.

    I enjoy my foods very much. . . perhaps you can look in my diary for ideas (although I do get too much salt sometimes. I wish I could post photos of my foods, haven't figured out how yet.

    Exercise builds muscle which will help accelerate weight loss, improve mobility, longevity, circulation, sense of well-being.

    Negative calories? Don't we all wish ..... eat veggies because they are high in fiber & high in nutrients .... sorry, but they are NOT negative calories :huh:

    I started a nutrition class .. Im 5'6 and currently weigh 187 pounds .. I have to eat no less than 1350 calories a day and 35 grams of protein plus 90 ounces of water. When I do this consisently I lose an average of 2 pounds a week !!! My calories are net so if I exercise I have to eat more to get the net calories to 1350. Hope this makes sense.

    You should be eating 1g protein per pound....
    .70g at the least.

    all I can say is you need to eat more. 900 calories = not enough.
