Though I'm obviously no expert on this, I think that dropping your daily caloric intake so so low is actually harming your weight-loss efforts~ 1200 calories is the lowest caloric intake recommended for ME and I am like half your height...

Cutting out soda/sugar intake is great for losing weight. I stopped drinking soda and started drinking crystal light/water/v8 and within like a month i lost like 10 pounds. I apparently weigh more than I look. I stump nurses with the "guess my weight lol" game at work.

Also: As I said before, crystal light is great if you ever get a craving for flavored drinks. (Like me.) :o
