I'm watching my calories I'm not eating less than 1,200 and no more than 1,500. I'm eating 3 meals & 2 snacks (which are usually a pudding, fruit, etc.)
I also sit in the steam room for 15 minutes a day.

I'm not 100% sure what resistance training is. But I ride the eliptical machine with a resistance level of 9?

it sounds good.
i dont know your stats but my guess is - stick more to 1500cal a day because 1200cal is the lowest number somebody with a REALLY petite frame could do. (body needs 50cal/hour for functioning (like in coma) so thats 1200cal a day for somebody who is up to 150lbs)

It's hard to tell. Resistance training is better for losing weight because you build muscle which burns more calories.Also, if you resistance train, then do 30 minutes of cardio, your metabolism will remain much higher for much longer during the day. The steam room really doesn't do anything to help you lose weight. Forget about counting calories, just eat the good foods and avoid the bad. Read Dr. Oz book "You on a diet" and take a common sense approach to it all.

Well, first of all, anyone who teases you is a complete jerk and should just back off...x) That sounds like a really good plan! But make sure to eat more vegetables than fruits, because fruits have fructose (fruit-sugar =D), which turns into fat, as you probably know. I also suggest to drink 1% milk! 2% is also fine...as long as it's not whole ;) Also watch how much cheese you eat! I'm also trying to lose weight, and that's a bummer for me because I love cheese! :P But it'll be worth it when I see the results after it all... Also, make sure to boost your metabolism through out the day! Have a 3:00 snack, and another snack about an hour or so after dinner. Make sure these snacks aren't chips, fruit-cups or anything like that. It may be very convenient, but it's definitely not good for you! Grab a handful of almonds, an apple, or low-fat yogurt. Good luck!

Obtain smaller plates. Little crockery means portion control is a lot easier – those diminutive helpings suddenly look huge and you’ll be happier to eat less.

Music makes you eat more. According to research by the journal Psychology and Marketing, soft, classical tunes encourage you to take time over your meal, so you consume more foods. So, switch off – silence is likely to make you more aware of what you’re putting in your mouth.

Go for kettlebell workouts — the person burns 400 calories in 20 minutes.

Bask in the the sun. Just 20 minutes of Vitamin D absorption each day will boost your ability to loose weight.

Get back to basics – burn more calorie consumption than you ingest.

Muscle mass burns up more calories, so include three 20-minute strength-training sessions daily.
