Eating 1,200-1,400 calories a day and exercising 30 minutes a day 6 days a week. I've been doing this for only a week, so I understand why I haven't seen good results yet. But I was wondering if besides what I'm doing there's anything else to help? Two months ago I cut out milk (I drank a lot of it) and I lost 17lbs from that alone. So things like that. Is there anything you know for certain would help make a difference? I appreciate the help.

find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

My suggestion is don't starve yourself either, keep with that routine and maybe look into some type of mulit-vitamins and such to help your body make up for what is lacking. take it from one who have lost 130 pounds (exercise and gastric bypass) you need the exercise, but keep it study don't over due, if you feel hungry between meals maybe having a healthy snack like an apple or orange. I know that sounds old fashion but it works, Good luck on the weight loss.

your diet sounds good except I would recommend maybe trying a protein shake. They are low in calories/fat and high in protein (obviousely) but, the protein would help build muscle and the more muscle you have means less fat. also, if your not lifting weights I would try that out and see if that helps any.
