[quote=Anonymous]When I was BF, I was starving all of the time. I was about 120 lbs (5"6') when I got pregnant. I ate and ate, but still lost weight. 
I must admit, that I did like seeing the weight drop off. When I was almost 105, I was at my regular Dr. for a checkup. She was pretty much horrified that I weighed so little. She suggested that I start drinking Ensure or something similar. She also suggested milkshakes. If you just aren't hungry, you could try that. If you are only eating 500 calories a day to lose weight, then you are in real danger. 
I had multiple broken bones because the baby was taking everything it needed from my stores. My hair and skin looked terrible. 
Once I stopped nursing, which I'll admit, I did for a long time because I liked being so thin, the weight came right back. It probably took almost a year, but it came back. I'm not happy about it, but it is what it is. 
For your daughter's sake, please get help. She deserves to go up with a healthy momma. [/quote]
