I went to your profile and I think it said you are 5 feet 9 inches tall? If this is the case, I think you are underweight as it is and do not need to lose more.

I am not saying this to criticize or upset you, but rather out of concern for your health and wellbeing. If I misread your profile, I am sorry.

While I am on the subject, I have been noticing lately that there are an increasing number of posts from young girls who are already at healthy weights doing Atkins and trying to lose more. I am concerned about this trend. I know when veteran members catch this, they comment on it. I think we need to continue to do that and help these girls to nurture their self-esteem rather than encourage them to strive for stick-thin bodies.

I apologize if I am stepping on any toes, or coming across negatively, but as the mom of a pre-teen child, I tend to be more vigilant about eating disorders.
