I'm eating a normal diet, with some extra calories to help me gain back the weight I lost. I'm eating more, doing less exercise, and I'm still LOSING weight!! Two weeks in a row! Why?

Just Waiting Here Posted at 12:36 pm on July 11, 2008 Well... I mean, it could be your metabolism, it could just be that your body is acting differently to the new changes... Or... you had an eating disorder... you weren't eating much.  Of course you're going to drop weight in an unhealthy way... you may have been putting too much strain on your body. But now, you're eating a proper diet and exercising the RIGHT amount for your body and the diet you have.  Doesn't it make sense that your body may be going through some healthier changes now? Give it some time, You may start gaining some weight back, but it will most likely be more in muscle from exercise and the like :). glowinthedark Posted at 12:35 pm on July 11, 2008 you're metabolism may be just eating up the foot taht you're eating. SammySunshine Posted at 12:32 pm on July 11, 2008 Your metabolism must still be pretty high, it's a long recovery process. All 4 previous replies displayed.
