Not eating enough = no weight loss

I feel like when I don't eat enough food, my body holds on to every calorie and won't let me lose weight! The problem is, I can't get over the fact that too much food has always caused weight-gain (obviously) and I can't find a balance that allows me to lose weight. I'm so confused. Any suggestions?

it appears from your signature line that. You are. One pound away from goal,so you ust be doing something right.
