I want to lose 30-40 lbs by september/october. I was wondering how many calories a person that weighes 145 lbs loses each day. I'm on a diet right now. I am really lookiing for ways to burn alot of calories. On the new one day they had a segment called losing 1000 calories a day. Does anybody know what that is?

I say if your looking to burn calories
workout, take classes like kickboxing at the gym (which might burn up to 800 calories per workout) do pilates (tones your muscles) Do lots of cardio and weight lift too.
Get a trainer, its probably more helpful since you want to lose more than 10 pounds

your body burns calories all the time even when you sleep.
Dont look at what the scale says - it doesnt tell you how much muscle mass and body fat percentage you have which is what really matters.
if you are losing more than 1-2lbs a week its not fat you are losing - its just water weight and muscle which means you are slowing down your metabolism and will gain it back.
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
