yah i can tell you what worked for me but im not saying you should do it. i weighed 190 pounds last year. i am now at 120 and almost cry with happiness when i look in the mirror. for the past year i kept calorie intake from 500-600 everyday. i lost around a pound every 2 days. i dont care how many people tell u its unsafe, its more safe than being 180 pounds. when they say u have to eat 1200-1800 calories a day, they mean eat that much to prevent your metabolism from temporarily dropping. the most important thing is when sticking to a 500-600 calories a day plan all of the calories should be as healthy as possible!! no brownies!!!!!!! u can also take a multivitamin if u want. i didnt and im fine.

You can't get instant results, it takes times. you can try, set a goal of like say..3 pounds a week. If you give up then it'll never happen.
