I'm a 16 year old girl. about 5'4 and 151 lbs.
I just got a Schwinn Airdyne and I'm planning on burning 300 calories on it (which took me a little over an hour tonight cuz I didn't have a whole lotta energy) 6 days per week.
well, at least according to the calorie counter on the bike it will be 300
and I've been trying to cut down 500 calories a day, too, but I'm not always sucessful.
How much weight would I lose per week if I burned the 300 calories a day and didn't cut out the extra 500 calories a day? And how much would I lose if I burned the 300 calories a day and DID cut of the extra 500 calories a day?
I think having a better idea of how much weight I might actually lose will give me some motivation. :)

First, at age 16, you should not diet without the consent of your doctor. This is due to the fact that you are still growing and inappropriate/improper dieting can interfere with your growth. Please see your doctor and he will refer you to a nutritionist or a dietician for a healthy weight loss diet.
Second, 300 calories a day for 6 days is a total of 1800 calories. For every pound you lose, you must omit 3500 calories. So, at a loss of 1800 calories, you would lose approximately a half pound per week. Of course, it would be more than this if you are also exercising.
Healthy weight loss should be about 2 pounds per week. You lose it too quickly, you will gain it all back and then some...you may even get sick in the process. As I stated earlier, you are still growing. Please see your doctor for a safe and proper diet.
