Welcome!!!..Finally..someone who's shorter than me!!! I can 'tower' over you!! :lol: ..Only kidding!..But sweetie..you are very light now..do you really need to lose some more?!..Maybe its just exercise that you should be working on..to tone up areas that you're not happy with?
Of course..if you hated hearing that!..and are determined to lose some more..how about posting a couple of days normal food..and we'll have a look and tell you where you can go from there..but two things to bear in mind:
1.The closer to goal, the slower the weight will come off.
2.The scales don't always tell the full story..you need to measure as well..sometimes inches are lost..but the weight remains the same.
Take care :wave:

Stop to-ing and fro-ing between here and the newbies questions!
You are basically asking the same thing and unfortunately for you!! the same person is answering! :D
The weight that you've gained is probably just water and will come off as you eat sensibly.
But I am concerned that you are stressing about a small weight gain, when you are already so light..binging and the talk of laxatives [in your other post] is NOT good.
You WILL damage your body and long term end up with a greater problem than just a few pounds to lose.
Please read through the maintenance chapter in your book, if you have one..this is where you should be at..you have not indicated your age..? you could well still be growing? Please be careful. :wave:
