    Also my weight loss ticker is not working for some reason, I can't figure it out. I have lost 15 pounds this month and it keeps showing 0. I don't know how to fix it.

    You lost 15 pounds in one month?

    I used to have very bad eating habits, I would eat from sun up to sun down, nothing but junk food and fast food. So, I have put a stop to that and changed my eating habits. I just want to make sure my body is getting what it needs.

    Yes, but the point was that you used to be able to eat more than 800 calories a day, yes? You would have had to in order to have 78 extra pounds to lose. Posts like this always puzzle me I guess. I mean, I know how I got to be overweight. I ate a ton of calories per day. Cutting them back did not make me less hungry. So when someone has 78 pounds to lose and they say they can't manage to eat much over 800 calories, I always wonder how they got overweight to begin with.

    Anyway, I would try the suggestions above. Add in more calorie dense foods. But also make sure you are weighing and measuring everything, so that you get as close to an accurate calorie count as possible.

    It's really not that difficult to understand, I used to eat like a pig, now i'm not, thus resulting in weight loss. I have restricted my food intake drastically from how I used to eat. I the beginning stages I was hungry a lot because my body was not used to receiving such little food, but now body is adapting i'm not getting hungry very often is my point. Because of this i am concerned if my body is getting what it needs.

    If you are unable to get the nutrients you need, you have restricted too much.
