Answer:
You're under eating a little. Step it up to 1400 calories per day and eat it over six small meals rather than three large ones.That's assuming an age of 30 and a height of 5'4". If that isn't right, type in the numbers yourself at the site below.http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie...

800 cal/day

I was the same weight An I was doing a program called calorie king I was only spos to have 1200 Cal's a day I lost 25 lb in 4 months. it goes by your age and hight to I am 25 and 5'4.

if you want to lose that much weight you're going to need to exercise not just cut calories - 800 calories is totally wrong, your body can't sustain regular functions without 1000 a day

Don't even worry about counting calories. That can be very difficult. Try to eat between 20 and 30 grams of fat a day. Look at the food labels carefully to see which items contain less fat. And always buy non fat and low fat. Drink at least a gallon of water a day (very important also for losing weight). Walking, gardening and yard work is exercise. People that don't workout a lot are usually like that because they lack the energy (not motivation). So also look into your energy level and how is your sleep? Do you wake up feeling refreshed? If not research sleep apnea. And make sure you are not Anemic which would also cause you to feel tired easily. Good luck with your weight loss!

find calorie/fitness 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)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past 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:)
