I had enough weight that my doctor and I thought that going on this medically supervised diet was warranted. She said that there are a few more risks with this kind of diet, but as long as I do the right things (drink enough water and such) that those risks should be minimal.
Anyway, knowing what it's like to eat only 1200 calories a day, I want to try to increase my metabolism so that as I reach my goal weight I can eat normal portions and indulge every once in a while without having to worry about every pound.

That's a lot of weight lost in a short amount of time, great job!
If your adherence to your diet is any indication of how well you'll follow to a training program, I'd say you're going to do very well
Good luck with it!
