You need to cut calories to 1200-1600 a day - walk for 30 min daily and if you have a lot to lose, maybe 20 lb a month if you stick to the calorie count [ Reply | More

not to push anything, but if you have a good deal to lose there are prescription meds that take so much of the pressure off. they practically eliminate hunger and for me make me feel like what I always thought normal people must feel - without constant thoughts of food all the time [ Reply | More

20 lbs a month???? You are SO WRONG. Maybe 5-7 lbs a month. Don't listen to this person, OP. [ Reply | More

op: that did sound pretty high to me. i guess i'd be happy with 7 pounds a month. by summer's end i'd be 20 pounds lighter. i think more than that is a lot to expect. [ Reply | More

Definitely calories - use them wisely. Drink water rather than calories. Carbs early in the day to burn them off. Allow yourself a small snack mid afternoon so you're not ravenous at dinner. [ Reply | More
