I checked with the calorie counter and you're eating about 1900 cals...I eat that to maintain my weight(5'3" 130 pounds) so perhaps you should reassess your intake and by that I mean increase it by like 1000 more calories. Check out the weight gain thread on meal plans for ED recovery.

PS: I grew up on whole fat milk, yoghurt, butter and I now consume low fat products, honestly I can't tell the difference in taste between them especially in combination with oats, bran flakes, raisins, apples etc; could be the ED talking there dontcha think?  But I do agree that they do contain more sat fats.

What I wouldn't do to be in your shoes. Losing centimetres and not losing weight means you're putting on muscle and losing fat. Remember muscle is denser than fat which means it occupies less space(hence the measurement decrease) but weighs more.

And women can't bulk up to a crazy degree, that extra centimetre is just a little muscle. You'd have to lift insanely high weights and eat tonnes of protein, not to mention be genetically inclined to bulk up or take steroids.

Try and get you body fat % measured at the gym. Callipers are the best option for this.

Um...your measurements sound fine to me, don't compare yourself to other people. You've got  the proverbial hourglass shape. And if you're trying to maintain you're eating too few calories for your height.

And did you really go around asking people their thigh measurements?

I would never come back with "O god another Burger and gobs of oily fries!!" lol although sometimes id like to

I know what you mean...it'd be seen as downright rude to say that to someone.

On to the topic, I usually eye ball stuff like that but I agree sometimes I do get a few random looks when I portion stuff out. But its really weird how everyone elses vision is kinda skewed when it comes to eating right and measuring out portions.

What are your stats? If you're already at a good weight for your height and with a body fat % of between 18 and 25% then your set and your body is comfortable where its at and that'll make further loss harder.

That said, have you tried taking your measurements? Sometimes weight remains the same but measurements decrease which is a good thing cuz it means you're building lean muscle and losing fat.

 Keep at it. Patience is the hardest part of getting fit!

I don't think it would be a problem having them even 7 days a week to be honest. A 114g sweet potato is about 100 cals. Well good in my opinion. And like gijane says there are no bad foods, maybe badly cooked foods and bad diets.

I hope you realize how ridiculous a blanket-statement like that is before you find yourself in a medical emergency with doctors attempting to give you medicine.

 Totally agree Kitty, too general a statement.

Unless you're following some new super organic raw food diet (as in, you grow your own stuff and you know whats going ino them)you've got more chemicals in you that a couple hundred grams of splenda could possible have. Colourants, Emulsifiers, Thickeners, Preservatives...all those are made in labs and they're all in the foods you eat. Even table sugar is processed...where? In A LAB!

wow i feel like i eat a lot now but breakfast is my fave meal so whatevs...about 500.

Scrambled eggs(egg whites only or 1 whole egg & 1 egg white), lean chicken sausages, oatmeal, weetabix, bran flakes, homemade protein shakes, whole wheat bread, fruit, yogurt, millet porridge......I mix these options up different mornings (I try to get in more protein though)

Oh and I figure its better to eat more calories especially from complex carb sources earlier in the day. A big dinner doesn't really make sense as you'll be pretty much horizontal all night.

A large sweet potato is about 160 calories...they are uber yummy and fill you up! :) Got lots of fibre too.

Wow...um I'm tempted to rant about how your 2000 calories/ starvation diet is indicative of an eating disorder but its early sooo maybe not. You're still growing, at 15 you should be getting 2000 cals in minimum. If anything do as tealparadise says and cycle your calorie intake.

Played both GTA4 & Saints Row...SR is much more entertaining I have to say but GTA4 does have its good points so keep playing, its slow in the beginning but it definitely gets better.
