I'm 6'1", and lost 13lbs in April by eating 1500-2000 calories, burning 1000+ calories 4x/week at the gym, and walking an average of 3-5mi. nearly every day on top of that, but I was also at 272lbs. I wanted to just about die after the second week, so I can't imagine how much harder it would be for somoneone 100+lbs lighter.

It's actually 196, but even then that's the low end of overweight (25.9).

From the sounds of the replies though it sounds like I might need to pay that >< He claims I will lose it with his support and plan. But yeah 196 pounds and it's on the overweight which isn't great... Considering a year and a half ago I weight around 10 stone and was underweight on the scale it's a massive jump up for me 0.o Thanks for your input as well people Just starting out there's a lot to learn
reach1231 wrote: » It's not necessary to and I understand what your saying, as I know the healthy range is 1% of body fat a week so for me being 196 healthy would be 1.96 lb a week. However I also know this is a general rule, meaning set to everyone. I don't want to starve myself I will only cut down to about 1500-1600 calories a day and just increase the excise I do. From doing little to no work outs a week to going gym and walking everyday without cutting back on food to much and cut out the bad stuff surly that's not unhealthy to the point of dangerous is it? Sorry for the super long replys! And the condescending tone it's not meant to be, I am so grateful for your input, like I said I'm just starting... Never even been gym before until a month ago 0.o

Then I do an hour and a bit in the gym burning roughly on average 400/700 depending on my mood. That's not including my job which is warehouse sorting center so tipping bags stood up for the duration and the university tasks walking to lessons and walking home etc... With your calculations it kinda sounds like I have a shot to be honest. I wouldn't need to increase my activities more than what I'm doing now 0.o And I do little things on the side like ice baths and lemon and green tea and just water. Doesn't have much effect but it has some I guess
