Ways to lose pounds fast
how many calories a day do i need to keep losing this weight?
ok im 22, and need to lose weight as fast as possible. in high school i lost about 25 pounds really quickly so im looking to do something similar. i gained a good amount of weight pretty fast due to a very unhealthy lifestyle. im 6'3" and was up to about 235 a couple weeks ago. i started trying to lose weight 2 weeks ago. the first week i lost 10 pounds by eating very little and healthy and doing cardio. the second week though, i only lose 1 pound. my usual and goal weight is around 200ish or maybe less. for the past week i was eating about 800 calories or so a day and doing cardio every night (eliptical). its been brought to my attention that its probably the lack of calories making my metabolism go way down and thats why i havent been losing. how many calories a day should i start eating to keep my metabolism working but to keep losing weight fast? thanks

- Ok firstly, you need to stop starving yourself to see weight loss. Like you said, you gained back all the weight you lost quickly in high school.. Its not worth starving yourself just so that you will gain back all the weight and be unhealthy too. I'd suggest eating 1800 calories a day, healthy of course, and exercising. Aim for 1-3 pounds of weight loss a week and the weight will STAY off instead of starving yourself, gaining, starving yourself, gaining. Good luck and be healthy!
