today i had vegetable juice, a large coffee with skim milk, lunch was half a cup hoop cheese (sometimes called pot cheese- similar to cottage cheese but different) with some fruit, then mid day snack was 2 40 calorie vegetarian sauces with some avocado, then dinner was tuna salad and i had some of my mother steak. not a lot but a couple of bites.

It's easier to lose weight as a vegan than as a vegetarian.
---
Go high carb, low fat, whole foods, plant-based VEGAN! I went vegan this year and have lost 40 pounds, with minimal exercise, and eating AS MUCH as I desire bringing down my BMI from 30 to 24. I weigh less now than I did throughout high school, as an overweight teenager, even when I exercised for hours while on Junior Varsity and Varsity sports teams. I went to my annual physical earlier this month, and even my doctor was in shock.
My goal for next year is to lose 30-40 more pounds, I just need to start exercising on a regular basis. Nothing crazy, just 30-60 minutes of jogging, Ballet Beautiful, bike riding.. things like that.
I think it's amazing what I've accomplished so far, just by changing my diet, though. It's a lot easier to go vegan than it seems. I was never vegetarian, I went from being able to eat an entire box of pizza or entire tub of ice cream in one sitting to a full-fledged vegan. I now spend a lot less money on groceries, have more energy (never need caffeine, and never feel lethargic like I used to on a regular basis), have more concentration, am learning to cook, and etc. Try it for a week, that's how I started, and I felt so good that I just kept going, and it's now been 5 months! You can get every nutrient from plant foods, including protein!

The only vitamin you need to supplement is B12, and one I personally recommend is Garden of Life's B12 spray (cause I personally hate swallowing pills, and methylcobalamin is better than cyanocobalamin). You can buy it at any health foods store (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, etc.), or online.

In my opinion you ate too little. The recommended calorie intake is 2000 a day. You need to eat and not starve yourself. There's over eating and under eating. If you go to a nutritionist you can find out the correct calorie intake your body needs. But you ate too little. If you exercise on a daily basis and eat healthy you will find yourself feeling better and you will lose weight!

I would suggest you find a health food store in your area that has a nutritionist on staff or who visits regularly. A nutritionist can advise you on a proper diet that will help you lose weight while maintaining the proper nutritional intake.
While it may be important to lose weight, the nutritionist can guide you with this as well. Losing weight and getting sick doing so won't help you as you will need to take in more calories to get well. Diet properly to loose weight. Can't find a nutritionist. See your family doctor for help.

You will lose weight if your:
caloric intake < caloric expenditure
Now, a caloric expenditure for a day is about 1800 cals (now- AVG...if you want an idea what your would be for your age/height/weight, I can calculate it for you-just ask me in my inbox). Now this 1800 is WITHOUT exercising, from doing daily things like showering, studying, walking to class, etc. Now if you work out, it'll be around 2100, again AVG!
So, if you want to lose weight HEALTHILY, I suggest eating around 1500 cals for days you don't workout, and 1800 for days you DO workout. If you eat below this, your body may permanently lower your resting metabolic rate, which = you won't be as efficient with burning calories, and after you diet your body will put it back on.
Aim for eating 6 ~300 cal meals throughout the day. This keeps your metabolism active all day!
If you have any more questions, drop one by my inbox! I am a college student and my major is "exercise science," which is the equivalent to "kinesiology" at some schools. Good luck with your weight loss:)

You did not overeat. You actually ate way too little. You might lose weight eating the way you're eating, but you will also lose your sanity. You need to eat more or you will binge. Try eating around 1500 calories.
