Am I going about this in the right way?

I am trying to loose some weight. I am female, 5'6", and I weigh 190. I am trying to loose 20 more pounds. I am doing this for myself and for my Fiance. This is what I have been doing for the past week...Run a mile every morning, then 25-30 min on the elyptical, then about an hour of yoga and/or Zumba ...all in one day. I have been eating about 1000 calories a day. I would eat more if I were hungry, im simply not hungry... I have also been smoking (hookah) to curve some midnight snacking moods. haha. Am I doing this correctly? My good friend told me that I need to be eating more. but idk, i feel that would just set me back in trying to loose weight.

I am doing this mainly for myself...however my fiance has been in bootcamp for about three months now and he has told me that he has lost about 20 pounds (he was a bit of a chubster when he left..but he was perfect for me...) and so that is just making me want to loose the excess weight I have so I can be healthier and try to keep him attracted..or more attracted to me.

I am not worried about him going after other women, I know he loves me and no one would change that. no matter how sexy. he is very loyal as am I. : ) please help by letting me know what you think about the plan I set.

thank you

    The mile is good but make sure you are hydrating. Are you then following it with the elyptical then yoga in sequence or spreading it out?

    Get moderate exercise. Drink water...lots of water. Break your meals into 6 tiny meals. I don't know about counting the calories if it's healthy food you are eating. Give it time and your body will respond.
