You need a MINIMUM of 1200 calories a day, and it also depends on your current weight how many calories you need. I weigh 162 and need a little over 1800 to lose weight in a healthy manner. And it works! I don't have to starve myself! Also, working out as much as you plan means that you need even more than 1200 caloires. You may see results at first, but when your body realizes what you are doing to it, it will start storing whatever it can in survival mode. Don't believe me? Do some research. One more thing, if you plan on losing weight and keeping it off, thus living a healthier lifestyle, you need a change of thinking. You need to think for the longrun, not just so that you fit into new jeans quickly. Do you think you can live the rest of your life (having children, growing old, ect.) eating only 800-1000 calories a day? As soon as you lose the weight and begin to eat normally, BAM, the weight will be back anyway. So you might want to rethink your plan carefully. There are many others here who iwll back me up. You'll most likely be seeing their posts soon! Many people here have successfully lost LOTS of weight and kept it off, and they are wonderful resources to help you do the same. Their stories are really inspiring. THink about it..."

I dont fit into any of my pants anymore and feel very disgusting. i dont want to loose all 20 pounds again, since i was underweight back then, but 10 pounds gotta go. how i am gonna do it: eat 800 - 1000 calories per day mostly out of lean meats, fat free products, vegetables and fruit exercise every day, weights and 1 hour cardio, walk my dog starting the right eating tomorrow and the exercise on monday... i am going on holidays in 3 weeks, by then i want to have lost a couple of pounds for the beach...."
