I'm just passing on some helpful information that might benefit you in jump starting your weight loss.
I went to see a weight loss physician last Friday before really jumping in and focusing hard on getting back to my goal weight and I'm very glad I did.
The nurse had me get on some sort of high tech scale that records body fat, muscle, water weight, and a lot more stuff. Based on my current height, weight and activity level, she informed me I should be eating a maximum of 1350 calories per day and less than 800 with at least 30 minutes of exercise each day if I wanted to lose weight.
I'm glad I know this because everything I see online says a person should eat about 1200 calories per day minimum and this would actually cause me to have remained the same size or gained weight based on how active I was for the day.
I've had a phobia of needles for a long time and she advised me that a B12 injection might help me get the extra energy needed to help me start this positive journey in life. I'm thankful for a wonderful nurse who knows how to properly give injections. I barely felt anything and I've felt wonderful all week. I go back tomorrow for a follow up. I think she'll be very proud of the weight I've lost.

Honestly I'd have to know more about you and your goals but 800 calories sounds *really* low. You risk stalling due to metabolic shutdown if you're not careful.

I had to go find the link but this might make for interesting reading if you're into numbers: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=156380403

HI Mcarthy,
I had 28 percent body fat when I started so I was definitely overweight and have a long ways to go. I was a health 110 pounds just 5 years and let myself go in the midst of a relationship. New beginnings bring about new goals and getting back to my previous size is mine. I am very much into numbers, jean sizes in particular. Size 1 and 3 being my goal. I'm only 5'2" so what I'm going after really isn't an unreasonable goal. I just have to stay motivated and focused rather than getting frustrated. The doctor did say if I was into body building I'd have to eat more but it was important to diet and tone a little along the way rather than power training. If I did this, because of my body frame, I'd have high potential of buffing up the weight already on my body and that's the complete opposite of what I want.

Good luck on your goals! Once I have a moment I'll respond more adequately but I wanted to share a simple site I use for getting my numbers. Go to iifym.com and use their calculators section. Kind of fun if you're into numbers. :)
