Question
thanx fro that advise, but the only thing is now i found a way to lose weight everyday, and i cant even look at food anymore, i just have no desirire after hearing that my friend ate something yesterday and gained back 5lbs!!!!.. but then he went for a walk and lose another 2-3 pounds. So i dont know what to do, becuz i cant even eat now, im like scared to becuz i dont want to gina more weight, im constantly weighing myself and walking or doing push ups and stuff so that i dont gain weight. and if i eat less then 100 calories a day then i can lose 5lbs a day. and now i think i have my mind set on weighing 90lbs even if i have to do ALOT to keep it off after i get over this. so as you can see i kind of have a delema, i cant exactly eat. i tryed eating a stick of celery the other day, and i felt so gulity about it i weighed myself right after and trying to make myself vomit becuz i didnt want to gain weight. i think i might have a problem, or think i might be starting one, and this starvation has gone way out of hand.

Answer -
Yes, you will lose wegith eating and exercising like that, but you will not be able to keep it off.  It will go back on as soon as you start eating anything else again!

I think that you should be focusing on eating round 1500 calories a day, that should help you lose weight and maintain the loss.

Breakfast - maybe some cereal with skimmed milk and fruit, or a smoothie.

Lunch - Something like a chicken caeser wrap.  Use low-fat dressing, and no spread.  Fill it up with loads of veggies and it will make you feel full!

Dinner - have some grilled or steamed chicken or fish with lots of vegetables.

Have fruit or other snacks throughout the day!

The only true way to lose weight is to actually eat.  It can be hard to lose weight when you aren't eating enough believe it or not!

Again, I'm sorry, I didn't get the chance to check e-mails, and so have only just seen this question.

You may not be able to lose weight as quickly as that everyday in the long term.  Your metabolism will be slowing down, so will make it harder for you to lose weight.

He probably didn't gain 5lbs in body weight, but in water weight.  When you are starving yourself, when you eat and drink, your body tends to retain water.  In fact, the weight that he had lost in the first place may have just been water weight.

I really think that you need to think about getting help now.  This is dangerous, and can kill, if not cause serious health complications.
