Here's some advice
If you are truly exercising as much as you say, and eating less than 1000 calories per day, you will see the weight coming off very quickly. However; you are putting your body into starvation mode. Although you will definitely lose weight quickly, you are slowing down your metabolism at the same time. When you don't consume enough calories to maintain your bodies functions, your body's defense mechanism kicks in and slows itself down.
You will lose weight quickly, but at some point you will start to gain it back. You will wonder why. You will eat even less or exercise even more. You will get frustrated.
Sound familiar?
My advice is to get your body fat percentage taken. Find out your lean body mass. Multiply it by 16.5. This is your approximate resting metabolic rate. Now subtract 200 calories from that number. This is approximately the number of calories you should be consuming per day. Obviously I don't know everything about your situation, so this is only an approximation. Hope this helps.

I agree with Damien, the secret is to adapt a lifestyle which has a slightly energy negative equation, losing 1lb of fat a week is a sensible level. Ensure you spread your calorie consumption throughout the day, eating 5 or 6 times, ensure you restrict the amount of fat you eat (aim for less than 60 grams per day of total fats).
Plus incorporate weights into your exercise routine, if you can tone-up and add a few pounds of muscle, then you will effectively raise your metabolic rate and find controlling your weight easier.

Damien and Chris, I would like to profile both your companies on my site. I run a fitness and diet blog and it will be great to add your resources to it.
Please let me know how we can get started. I can take pre-made release from your site. Or you can provide me one.
Thanks!
Psychologist, Good Luck! Looks like you've got the best taking care of you!
