Once again, thank you to everybody for your encouragement and helpful advice--I will be taking it all to heart!

alyssamehus: Thanks for the tip--I will try to stay closer to 1200 cal/day. Due to medical limitations, I don't do much exercise--just moderate walking.

Count me in, too. 5'4", currently 124. Would like to be 120 by 9/30. Been consistently under 1000 cal/day (usually around 800 cal/day) for 10 days, and have only lost 1 pound. Any suggestions?
