You also need carbs and fat; you can't survive without them. Look at the diet thread to find some healthy foods to eat. As crazy as it sounds, you need to eat to lose weight.

If you don't take in fat, your body will overcompensate and become more adept at using what's available (protein, ie muscle tissue) instead of using fat. -------------- SQUAT MORE ~Jesse Marunde Blood Guts Sweat Chalk

As someone else stated, your cal. consumption is too low. Are you exercising? If not, you're wasting your time. If you are exercising, are you lifting weights? Cardio alone is waaaaay too slow unless you're doing a form of interval training.
