100-300 calories a day is a concentration camp amount of food. Accompanied by exercise this is what would lead you to loose a lot of weight by starvation. (DO NOT TRY THIS!!)
600-800 calories a day is enough to keep your body from loosing weight and will have an adverse effect to the one you want. Instead of causing you to loose weight any food you are eating will be stored as fat in an attempt to prevent you from starving (even though you arent). Youre eating enough calories to keep your weight constant. Your metabolism slows, making it harder for you to loosing weight. As well as this, when you begin to eat more food your body will convert it to fat and you will end up gaining weight.
Its going to be easier for you to loose weight if you eat around 1200 calories a day.
That way your metabolism wont slow and you will find it easier to shed some pounds.
Increase the amount of time you exercise a day. Instead of walking some days jog all of the time.
Eating healthily is the only other thing.. just make sure you're not snacking on chocolate or anything.

when you deprive your body all you lose is water weight and muscle NOT fat and slow down your metabolism and then gain back more than lost as soon as start eating normal.
you have to make permanent changes to get permanent results.
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 (more muscle=faster metabolism)
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:)

Never go below 1200 calories that is not healthy for your body you don't want to become anorexic. It is healthy to lose 1 to 2 lbs a week. Eat more that is for sure you don't want your body to starve...try eating 5 to 6 smaller meals a day that includes snacks which is counted as a meal. A snack could be fruit or yogurt etc. And of course drink water during the day. Walking is good...try powerwalking as well, or cycling. Good luck.

The daily cardio is great, you may want to add in a couple of days of weight training or try aerobics. Also, you are not eating enough - as crazy as it may sound, eating too little can be as bad as eating too much. Eat at least 1200-1300 calories. If you eat too little your body will hold on to every little piece of fat because the body thinks it is starving.

Also drink 8 glasses of water per day, avoid fried foods, soda and sugary juices.

Your body needs 1200-1600 cals a day just to perform basic bodily functions. You're freaking it out. Keep up the workouts. Eat what you want when you are actually hungry and stop before you are stuffed full. Try to eat a balanced diet, but don't limit yourself with a bunch or rules and diets. Diets don't work and are unhealthy in the long run. Only do things that are healthy and that you can do forever, for the rest of your life, like cutting fast food forever. 95 percent of dieters gain it all back in one year and 99 percent do in two years. Dieting is associated with weight gain over a long period of time. This sort of thing is crash dieting/fasting. When you restrict your food, most of what you lose is water weight.

If women like you learned to love their bodies, a billion dollar industry that cashes in on insecurities and making people feel like they are not good enough would collapse. Quite frankly, being a little fat isn't as unhealthy as being thin. Anybody who thinks diets or restricting food types is a good idea is uneducated about the human body. Short cuts do not work. Most of the weight you lose is water weight. For health, eat a balanced diet and exercise for the health and endorphins and forget about an ideal shape. The average age a girl starts dieting is 8. 1/3 women are on a diet at any given time. 4/5 US women are unsatisfied with their appearance. You are beautiful and your body has a set point weight that it wants to be. If you starve yourself, the body will fight back by lowering the metabolism to maintain it's ideal weight. Limit your tv viewing. 1/4 TV commercials send out a message about attractiveness in this brainwashed society that has been seeing images of beautiful skinny women and mocking chubby people. It's worse for women: look at the number of average or uglier guys on tv and in movies versus the number of women. 30 percent of women in a study rated their ideal shape and it turned out to be 20 percent underweight. Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz meet the clinical requirements for anorexia, and so do 25% of playboy centerfolds. If the flippin mannequins became real women, they wouln't be able to menstruate. Women finally get some rights, but we limit ourselves like this and our bodies are reduced to objects we inspect and criticise. Men decide to only value women for their looks and a thin, attractive wife symbolizes social status for them. Girls call each other fat as the greatest insult they can muster. When did fat become worse than cruel, stupid, dishonest, lazy or cowardly. When did "chubby" start to mean the last four of those things?
We are killing our daughters and wasting our lives trying to meet an ideal that blows. I wish women would get together and fight it instead of letting others control us like this. Unless you are considered obese, or have a BMI of over 25, don't worry about it. Love your body and your confidence will light up the room and give other women permission to love themselves too.

Perserverence...i lost 22lbs in 3 months sticking with only healthy foods. combine light weight lifting and do cardio for max results, you'll burn 3 times the calories combing both weight training and cardio. and keep at what you're doing.

Don't get your hopes up. You may not be able to lose that much weight that fast. My advice is to take in more calories than that, its not safe. If you don't take in enough calories, you metabolism will slow down and you will lose less weight.
