Sorry but you most certainly lost some muscle. It's close to impossible to lose body fat but not muscle. Muscle loss is inevitable.

Your diary shows you consistently net under 1000 calories, but keep telling yourself that.

You need to seek help from a mental health professional who specializes in eating disorders.

Below are some threads you should take a look at. Maybe then you'll realize that netting under 1200 is not healthy and attempting to lose 1.5 lbs a week when you only have 17 lbs to lose is much too aggressive. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/819055/setting-your-calorie-and-macro-targets/p1…

*Sigh* It's not even worth it

When someone is eating too few calories and losing weight at a very aggressive rate (based on the amount of weight they have to lose), people are going to say something.

Frankly, I don't care how many people you've talked to who have confirmed eating 1200 calories is safe for you. Obviously those people have no clue what they are talking about and are NOT the people you want to get nutrition advice from. Talk to people who have been successful with weight loss and have kept the weight off,…

I don't need to be her physician to say that with 17 pounds to lose, she is eating too few calories and her goal to lose 1.5 pounds a week is unrealistic.

Research and people who have been successful here have determined otherwise :) I know you're young and think you have the answers to everything, but try listening to people who have been there and done that. You might actually learn something.

1200 calories is in fact too low for you. Many people here will back me up on this. A weight loss of 1.5 lbs a week is too aggressive for the weight you have to lose (17 lbs according to your profile). Many people will back me up on this, too. MFP sets EVERY user here calorie goal at 1200- until YOU change it to fit YOUR…

People are on MFP because they are looking to lose, gain, or maintain their weight by CICO. I know what correct portion sizes are. I weigh every single thing I consume and have been doing so for 2+ years. The only person who keeps calling your diet bad is you. I never called your diet bad- not once. My two problems with…

SHE willingly, all on her own, provided a sample of what she eats- so no, I didn't make her diet the topic of this thread. Also, in case you missed it, I wasn't the only one who 'went after' her calorie count for 3 servings of crepes and 3 servings of meatloaf. Until she clarified and provided the recipes, it was unclear.

You could most certainly eat more protein if you changed your macros. That's why MFP offers that option. I'm far from upset. I don't HAVE to do anything. I could eat crepes and breadsticks and chocolate and pizza- and then end up in the hospital with severe diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydrated. No one forces the food I eat…

Kind of like how I didn't ask for her to assume my view of portion sizes is skewed :)

I personally don't consider 50-60 grams of protein/day a lot of protein. You might- that's fine. I eat the way I eat because I have medical conditions that require me to do so. I also eat the way I do because it makes me feel my best and keeps me out of the hospital. No where have I said that there's anything wrong with…

Based on your diary, your diet is mainly comprised of carbs. You eat very little protein from what I can see. For example, crepes would never be satisfying or filling for me because they are made up of entirely carbs and little to no protein. You ate 3 breadsticks for dinner one night… I personally wouldn't call that a…

Thanks for the recipes! The calorie counts are more believable after seeing the recipes. Each serving is obviously on the small side.

If you think WLS is the 'easy way out', you know NOTHING about the surgery or the long process of medical evaluations (ranging from physical to mental) these folks go through prior to getting surgery.

Do you mind sending the recipes for the crepes and meatloaf you made?

Sorry but 3 servings of 'sweet crepes with strawberry filling' has way more than 309 calories and 39 grams of carbs. Same goes for meatloaf. 3 servings for 284 calories? I don't think so.

Anti-choice trolls are super annoying

Does diabetes run in your family? If yes, diabetes might be unavoidable for you. That's just how the cards play out sometimes.

I personally wouldn't rely on milk for protein. There are plenty of other protein sources out there. Drink the milk that you like best and get your protein from meat, cheese, nuts, seeds, etc.

This sounds like anxiety over the fear of what could happen when exercising rather than MVP. My grandma, aunt, and two of my cousins all have MVP. My cardiologist thought I had it as well- turned out to be supra-ventricular tachycardia instead. In the vast majority of people, MVP is not life-threatening and people with MVP…

Losing weight when pregnant is typically not advised by OBGYN's unless the patient is obese and is putting their baby and themselves at risk of complications. This is why doctors need to stress the importance of being at a healthy weight BEFORE getting pregnant. Please ask your OBGYN the same question you asked here. You…

Divorce, duh. He probably already has the papers signed and hidden in his dresser drawer. You know- just in case.

Chances are they aren't judging your wife. More than likely you are paranoid.
