    Awesome you are losing weight. Not so awesome you are eating 800 or less cals a week. Gotta keep some strength up. Gotta eat a little more, especially if you are younger. If not you can wack out your metabolism for the rest of your life (been there, done that, wrote the book so to speak).

    Just realized you are only 18. Your metabolism should still be pretty active. How about 1200 a day? 1200 a day maintains 120 lbs (8.6 stone I think) on the average person usually. Add in the exercise you are doing and you'd be fine I think.

    Keep up the exercise and those pounds will keep coming off.

    Eating 800 calories is not good... especially if you're a guy doing that much exercise. Sedentary girls aren't meant to eat below 1200. Congrats on the weight loss, but really, eat what's been recommended. It's a goal, not a limit.

    Also, if it's your first week it's going to be mostly water weight that's gone, not fat. Not trying to discourage you, just saying don't be disappointed if you haven't lost as much next week! :)
