Good luck! Just remember to keep realistic expectations when losing weight. Shows like the biggest loser make us think we should all be losing like them, but that isn't true. You will have weeks where you lose a lot, some a little and some where you stay the same or even gain. It happens. The most important thing is to have patience , forgive yourself for slip-ups and keep going.  

I agree totally with Suzi. It can be hard at times but you can do it and you have alot of support here on this website. We're all in the same boat, so to speak. Plus I'm always here... and at work (hehehe) if you got a question or just need someone to vent to or with. I do have a bit of advice for ya, only cause I learned it myself just recently. I was looking at your diet calender and it's not a good idea to keep up such low calories for very long. It could make your body think you're staving it and then it will hold on to what you eat. Thus you may not lose or you may even gain like I did. I just boosted my calories by about 400 to 500 a day and the pounds started coming off again. Anyway... just a suggestion.  

thanks for your comments. I am having trouble getting enough calories. I don't want to eat any bread or starch because that is what always makes me fail. But I can't seem to eat enough vegetables to get my calories up. and money is also a problem. I am running out of veggies about as fast as I am money! 

Bad week but I am not giving up. A good friend of mine died and i know it was his weight. I have got to do this. I am looking for more people to talk to me for incouragement. thanks for the comments i have gotten thus far.
