I am 16 years old, I weigh 294 lbs and am roughly 6"3'. Lately, I've been trying to become healthier by adopting a better diet and exercising more than usual. I have been using the iPhone App MyFitnessPal to count calories and track progress.
I couldn't help, but read online that every site says that a 1-2 lb weight loss is realistic. I am by no means looking for a quick and easy fix, but is it unrealistic for me to expect more from myself? Because I am a bigger guy, I think maybe 3-5 lbs is just an attainable. Correct me if I'm wrong!
Also, I would like to be down to 250lb by March, at least, because that's when I go to New York. That would mean 44 lbs would have to come off. If I consume roughly 2000 calories each day (2900 is suggested to maintain my size and weight) and walk with my dog 3-4 times a week, is that an achievable goal?
Please, I am in dire need of help and guidance. Thanks!
