I need to lose 50 pounds!

Please, please eat more than 800 calories. 1200 minimum. You will still lose weight. And you won't feel crap. And you'll learn proper eating habits when it comes to maintaining weight at the end.

This thread is about to get torn apart.

You need to eat more than 800 calories a day. Otherwise as soon as you start eating normally again you'll just pile the weight back on. 1200 is the minimum recommended for a female and a lot find that too low.

I agree with the above posters. You're body is starving itself, that's why with only 800 calories a day, your body is holding on to its fat reserves. You need to break that 800 calories a day cycle, especially if you are walking around everywhere. You need to bump up your calories to a minimum of at least 1200 calories if you're walking everywhere. Your body will start to let go of its reserves as soon as it knows its not being starved, then you'll start seeing weightloss.

In order to lose 50 pounds by december, you'd have to lose roughly 12.5 pounds a month which is roughly 3 pounds a week... i think not.

Honestly, freaking eat! A healthy balanced diet of 1200 calories, is going to do a heck of a lot more for you then a 800 calorie diet full of bread and nothing else. Eat fruit, veggies, lean meat, a little bread.. all those things are fantastic for weight loss.

Since you walk everywhere, your already burning a lot of calories, which means you need to eat. Any exercise you do on top, is going to be extra and you should prob. eat those calories too.

STOP,

You have to slow down, 800 Cals a day and your body will starve and not be able to do basic functions after a while. Losing 15 pounds in one month might be ok if you weigh over 300, have a serious look at nutrition and weight loss sites to get more knowledge, we all want to be trim and sexy but not at the risk of your life!

I cant stress that enough!

I think maybe the reason some members think that you don't want to do the work is because you've come to a new site and not read any of the rules or suggestions given to you prior to posting. These informational posts state that you should try searching for any answer in the archives prior to posting a question. There is a huge amount of information about diet and exercise already here. If you search some of the most popular posts and search the subjects that interest you, you will find everything you are asking.

The fact is that people who have been on the site for a long time and have some of the most helpful information for you are probably tired of answering the same questions every day, so they just stop answering when a post like yours comes along. There is so much information available on the internet from reliable sources on how to lose weight in a healthy manner and this site is no exception.

If you look back, you will also note, if you do look at the information, that you won't find a lot of support for a diet with unhealthy goals. So, you might want to search some of the exercise threads previously posted. This way you can actually learn to decide for yourself what should work for your current lifestyle and interests.

Set up a healthy eating and exercise routine and not only will you lose weight and feel better, but you will have a much better chance of keeping it off long term. If you work out faithfully, by Decemeber, you might actually not care about what the scale says because you will tone up your body and feel so much better. The scale is far from the only guideline you should be using to measure your success.

Good luck!
