Konnann,

Please re-evaluate your eating program immediately. I think it's safe to say you're in your 'ridiculous under eating phase' (I think everyone had one at some point, so let's not kill him). You should probably be getting around 2000 calories a day to LOSE weight.

You might have lost 35 lbs, but I can GUARUNTEE that half of that was muscle.

So, you ate too little, which sucked because:
- you didn't get to eat!
- you were hungry!
- you lost 12 lbs (at least) of muscle

Just to put it in perspective, you'll probably spend another year trying to put on 12 lbs of muscle. And the only way to gain muscle is by eating enough to start gaining weight.

Please checkout out 'massive eating' and everything else by Berardi at t-mag.com for some good starting points about diet.

Bec,

Please don't take a route in which you start eating less than 2000 calories a day. Follow the other advice given.

I just lost 35lbs in about 2 months but it took alot of will power.
All I did was cut my calories down to around 750/day (I watched them very closely) & didn't eat within 3-4hrs of going to bed.
Just make sur eto keep protein high & calories low. So try & eat grilled or baked chicken, fish, veggies, fruit & stay away from candies or any sweets & drink diet pop & when you cook use calorie free butter
1 chicken breast=200calories
1 plank of fish=around 100calories
1 egg white=15calories
1 fat free yoplait yogurt=100calories
veggies, not even enough calories to count

it's hard at first but keep it up along with a small workout program, I reccomend at 1st get on a bike & ride or something low impact.
you'll see results in no time and after about a month it's easy to stay keep eating healthy

Hope this helps
