Answers:
You are in the normal range now--but 20 lbs lighter is still within normal range. http://www.halls.md/body-mass-index/bmi....
Your calories should not drop below 1300 calories. Try to keep within the range of 1300-1500. Most importantly is eating healthy foods. Watch portion control. Eat something 5-6 times a day and don't miss meals.
2-3 lbs a week is normal weight loss. The end of August is only 8 weeks away so 20 lbs is going to be really difficult, but a realistic goal. You just can't take any time off, or vacations from working out.
You can't run or swim, well try some fitness DVDs. How about sports? Anything keep your interest? Whenever you are just sitting there not doing anything, hold your arms above your head (in that kinda eqyptian, indian prayer position) for one whole commercial break. It's a lot harder than it sounds. Do freeweights for your arms and work your abs with an exercise ball.
Definitely try the fitness dvds and it's summer! Get outside and enjoy it!
