You are losing weight.Do you know how many calories you are actually eating?I lost weight that I didn't need to lose so I did an accurate food diary for a while - weighing food counting calories and carbs in my diet. I found that many days I just wasn't eating enough even though I didn't feel hungry.I found that for what I ate I lost weight at 2000kcal, gained weight at 3000kcal and generally maintained weight at 2500kcal. This also helped me see what food worked for me interms of maintaining weight and controlling blood sugar.  I adjusted my diet and then didn't need a food diary. My weight and blood sugar has been stable for about 4 years since then.Best of luck</blockquote>
