    I'm tied up with work at the moment, so forgive the short reply, but lately the board has had a lot of requests for help with this sort of thing, so if you do a search you should come up with fairly similar information. Have a look at the gymrats thread for inspiration on unusual exercises and read stuff like stumptuous.com

    Bearing in mind the recommended calorie intake for a woman is around 2,000 calories, you might end up doing yourself harm and/or ending up with an eating disorder, plus once you start eating again the weight would just shoot back on

    you are best cutting down a smaller amount on the calories, and cranking up the exercise, gets your metabolism up and burns things off quicker

    you are aiming to lose over a kilogram a week, which is quite a bit

    if im mistaken on this, someone correct me

    Mixing your exercise up. and not just doing the same old thing day in day out will help

    I remember reading from my gyms magazine that on a general scale (as everybody can very quite greatly) your resting metabolic something is your weight x11 in calories. So if you way 150, you should have 1650 calories a day to perform basic bodily functions. Anything less and your body will go into starvatio mode or whatever you want to call it. I'll try to find the link :)

    Ah I lied. Weight x10. Heres the article :)
