    Eat more..... Figure out your TDEE and BMR numbers, and eat a cut value between that... since you don't have much to lose should be a small percentage from your TDEE, dont know what those mean plenty of articles on here explaining all the goodness.

    500-800 is TOO LOW! I know some will say starvation mode doesn't exsist but in this case your body probably feels like there's some sort of famine so every little morsle it gets ti's going to hold on to. I would suggest finding your TDEE and eating at the TDEE for 105 (maybe 100 cal less at first) and you will eventually land there and be able to keep it up b/c you're already used to it.

    Edited for typos. =)

    To get some real assistance I'd say to start logging on MFP and let people see what you are doing. Not sure your current approach of starvation will work....
