ok i was wondering if anyone new how many calories you have to burn off to equal one pound. i need to lose weight bad and fast. my dr told me to count how many calories i normally eat and subtract 500. well one a normal day i eat between 1000-1500 so i am gonna drop down to about 700. so if i eat 700 calories aday and then burn 1000 how fast can i loose weight? i know this sounds unhealty but i am morbidly obese and i need to loose it pretty fast. my health is startin to go down the drain. please answer honestly and if you can't be nice about it then please don't answer! thanks

Calories are tricky. I'm sorry that I don't have precise figures on this. I have been in your position. I am not any more. Check out the photo. I'm looking pretty good. The keys are lots of water. I mean 15 glasses or more a day. Take water with you every where, back pack, car etc and drink when you aren't doing anything else. but the major trick is to get moving. You don't have to have a exercise regimen per se but go walking every day or hit the pool. and not just once a day. walk in the morning and evening, or use your bike. Explore your neighborhood or town and have fun doing it. Go to the library or city hall. Watch a court case. hit the zoo or the park. but keep moving!! The pounds will fall off faster than you think and one day you will look in the mirror and wonder who the hell is that? Also... Get rid of all your "fat" cloths. it makes going up and down in weight to easy.
good luck

I went through this same thing, I lost 60 pds in 2 months, I started eatting soup and crackers every meal, No meat, No bread, Snacks consisted of celery, apples, Or a orange, I felt a little deprived at first, Then the complements came and it gave me a ton of will power, Before I knew it the weight had fallen off, Good Luck!!

the thing you need to understand is that if you eat under 1200 calories a day your body is going to think you are starving and hold on to everything you eat for dear life. a great place to look for a good menu for you to start with is oxygenmag.com i read their magazine and have lose 30 lbs. It's not going to be be easy but nothing worth anything ever is... good luck!
