I am a 39 year old woman at 5'1" and 140 lbs. My doctor said I should
wegh under 100 lbs to be good size with my small stature. I begin to
eat under 1000 kkal a day Monday 6-13.
I wonder if you're eating enough. One of the sacred tenets of WW is that
you must eat enough to keep your body from going into starvation mode. I
don't know the WW formula, but I've been told as a light rule of thumb that
one should not eat fewer calories than 10x your body weight for safety and
that 12x is a safer rate. This web site here --
http://www.shands.org/health/information/article/001940.htm -- says a woman
should not consume fewer than 1200 calories a day without medical
supervision.
In any event, good luck.
Angela
