hey chill
muscle weight is more than fat weight. so youve gained muscles and toned up a bit.
ditch the frikken scales, why would you moderate your feelings thru a scale rather than through how you feel inside??
You could be gaining muscle mass - which weighs more.. Focus on how you feel... Do you feel stronger/healthier/sexier? That's what's important...
2 weeks is not long enough time to judge. You could have gained muscle, water weight, etc.
I would eat no less than 1200 cal and workout 200 mins a week (broken up how you like, but no less than 30 min a session) for 4 to 6 weeks then see how yoru weight is doing.
You've probably messed up your metabolism by not eating enough.
You might want to consult a dietician. If not, try upping your calorie intake slowly to at least 1200 NET calories a day.
If you don't eat enough, your metabolism will slow down because it's trying to conserve all the energy it can.
You might have gained muscle weight.
I'm not going to run to my textbook to check this out exactly as stated, but when you lose fat it is excreted as water, which is heavier-your body rhythm-menstrual cycle may also factor into this. 900 calories a day is not enough food, this much I do know! That is a starvation regimen and likely to cause damage to you physically and emotionally.
Suggest you have thyroid tested, and get on a good, healthy diet, as recommended by your doctor.
run more often!
