Ok well in the last two days I've eaten less than 200 calories total & my scale [which is accurate .. I think ??] says I went from 110 lbs. to like 106-107!!! I am going on this same diet [under 200 cals. everyday] for 1 week in order to reach my goal weight of 97 lbs. Is this possible ?? I also go running everyday. Everyone says you lose weight very quickly right in the beginning of a diet .. so will this rapid-weight loss thing last long enough to get me to 97 lbs. ??
I'm 5'4"-5'5" & 14 years old .. in case you were wondering ..
Hugs && Kisses

Uh… 1st of all, stop what you're doing. You're going to kill yourself, PLUS you're shutting your metabolism down. PLUS you're 14, and you're going to royally screw up your growth.
2nd of all, when you come off of this suicide diet of yours, you're going to rebound and be heavier than you were to start with.
And to answer your question, after about 1 week, your water weight will be gone and weight loss will stall (add to that the fact that you're metabolism is going to crash and you've got a big ball of dissappointment on the way)
You don't need to diet, BUT if you're going to lose no more than 1-2 lbs a week or you're losing muscle and you're going to gain all the weight back and then some

Dear Abby ( I feel like I am writing to an advice columnist, lol)
Although what you are doing now is losing you weight, it is not healthy. You are litteraly starving your body. When you eat this little, your body goes into staarve mode and starts hoarding fat and will not let go ofit easily. You may ask then how am I still losing weight? Well your are losing muscle and water weight. SO when you start eating normal you will gain a ton of weight. Plus, with eating so little your tummy will actually expand. And yes, you could stunt our growth
And woah I am 5 feet and my ideal weight is 106 pounds! Why in the world do you feel you should be 97 pounds! Hun if you weighed that little, you could stop having your period and you will look like a stick. You are a good weight, heck your on the skinny side! You need to STOP you are becoming like your other friend one of your earlier questions! DONT do this to yourself child
You are beautiful as you are, if you lose weight you will not develop right. (and take it from me, being underdeveloped is not fun)
you sound perfect so dont worry, I am soooooo thin I hate it, I wish I had proper curves. I would looooove to be your weight and height!
Dearest wishes
