Finally... I am committed.

I need help fast too.  I am at the extreme.  I am 26 years old and I weigh 187 lbs.  I started working out at the RDV Sportsplex and eating right about over a week ago.  I was 191 lbs. when I started.  Here is my workout schedule:
Monday -- 1hr boot camp
Tuesday -- 1hr yoga and 1hr step
Wednesday -- 1hr spinning
Thursday -- 1hr dance cardio and 1hr boxing
Friday -- 1hr spinning and 1hr swimming
Saturday -- 1hr power pump

I am trying to lose weight.  I eat really healthy.  Here is my meal plan:
breakfast -- great measure cereal with nonfat milk or eggs and wheat toast
snack -- banana or yogurt
lunch -- veggie wrap or veggie hotdog with wheat bread or wrap
snack -- carrots or a big apple
dinner -- differs but usually under 600cals

I usually get about 1200-1300cals a day.  In the first 3 days, I went down to 185lbs, and since then I either maintain and increase.  I see alot of people talking about undereating and overexercising.  I feel I may fit that category.

Could you answer a few questions for me?
I am 26yrs old, 5'7, and 187lbs.  How many calories should I get a day?  Should I incorporate a protein shake into my diet because I am vegetarian?  If so, what do you recommend?  Should I take any supplements?  If so, which do you recommend?

What type of exercise program should I be in?  Should I get a personal trainer?  Most of my exercise is group because that is where I feel most motivated?

I want to schedule to meet with my doctor to have some test done?  Which should I ask for?

Thanks,

since we can't give "professional advice" I think you need to break down and get a pesonal trainer, ACSM or ACE certified.
