If I eat 1200 calories a day, and walk 2-3 miles at night how much weight would i expect to lose a month?

Question

i am 22 years old and i weigh 165 now. i want to get into the range of 135-140

Answer 1

That depends totally on the person. I usually eat about 1400 calories a day and run a mile five days a week and do half an hour of weights, and that usually causes me to maintain. If I knock it down to 1200 calories a day I can expect to lose about 5 lbs a month or so. I'm 23, 5'8", and was 165 before I got pregnant.
Other people will loose weight easily at the amount of calories it takes me to maintain. If you can swing it, go see a nutritionist. Seeing a nutritionist was what helped me get down to 165 from 210 and I stayed there.

Answer 2

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats, take 300-400 calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
5-8servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water a day
5-6 small meals instead of 3 big ones (breakfast is the most important - make sure to get complex carbs like whole wheat bread, oatmeal, fruit etc)
4-6 times a week cardio for 30-50min, light weight training, many reps
no junk food, no sodas, no alcohol, no white flour (cakes, cookies, white bread, pasta etc.), nothing high in sugar (ice cream)

Answer 3

you will burn about 326 calories after a 3 mile walk, time that by 30 days = 9,780 calories.

A pound of fat is worth over 2,000 calories so you might want to do more exercises. Metabolism plays a role also
