THANK YOU PALEONATH! I went on the website you suggested and it stated that you take your weight/divide by 2.2/multiply by 20/subtrace 200 cals and that is the calories you need to eat to lose. Mine came out to 1345. I have been consuming around this and exercising 20-30 minutes 4x week up until the symptoms got bad last week. I have not exercised since last Thursday (and I feel it unfortunately) since the dizziness sets off nausea and my fatigue is unbearable and I conserve my energy to get thru the work day.

What about those dark green veggies and soy you are suppose to avoid? Do you avoid them or do you still eat them but in moderation?

As for medication - - I probably won't go on anything until I see my doctor on the 25th.

How many carbs are you consuming while keeping the cals at the level you are on and what plan - Atkins?

Thank you again for any further info you can provide
