Know if you need to lose weight
Health specialist use a measure called BMI, short for Body Mass Index. Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women. This gives a good measure of your total body fat. BMI compares your height and weight. It shows if you are underweight, at a healthy weight, or overweight.

I agree that its about 3500. so, if your wieght is constant, (ie, you are not still gaining weight), and you increase your physical activity so that you are burning say,an extra 100 kcals a day, then you will, theoretically, lose one pound in 35 days. Reducing your calorie intake at the same time, whilst eating a properly balanced diet, will increase the rate of loss. Incidentally, if you increast the amount of exercise you do, you will actually boost your metabolism so that whilst you are not exercising, your base metabolic rate will be slightly higher and you will lose more weight than you think you will by just adding up the calories you use during execise.
