i started on jan2nd weighin 416.5lbs. 24 days later and im at 396.5 thats 30 lbs in 24 days. so 4 lbs of week if your obese like i am should be easy. i estimate based on online calculators i had to be eating close to 5000 calories a day to maintain my weight. cutting back to around 1500....thats 3500 calories saved a day. now i work out. based on the calculator on the eliptical machine, with my weight and age of 23, a 50 minute workout(i push myself hard, as im a fairly athletic 415lb guy) and a 5 minute cool down....i brun around 800 caloreies. granted this is give or take, but the more you weigh the more you burn to do the same thing. so im around 4300 calories a day less than i was , even if i ate a 3000 calories diet, thats still close to a pound a day i could lose. so 4lbs a week is deffinetly possible
