Am i doing enough in my weight loss program? -

i am 27 yrs old, 5 10 270 lbs. i want to loose 90 lbs in 9 months. i walk 3 hrs a day (approx 15 kms) eating 2500 to 3000 calories (all healthy food). i started 3 weeks ago havnt lost a single pound. even my waist is the same as it was 3 weeks ago. only thing i have achieved is the stamina that is building up. am i doing anything wrong or is it normal for it to take this long. i am starting to get demotivated now due to the lack of results.also, is 90 lbs in 9 months realistic or not?should i add anything to my current program??

Ok. Walking 3hrs a day is good, but your calorie intake is high. Try cutting back to about 1500 calories a day. And maybe walking 3 miles a day. Drink lots of water and eat more veggies and fruits and whole grains. Cut out anything processed and start cooking healthy meals. Your meat should be no bigger than the palm of your hand. ANd yes its possible to lose 90 lbs in 9 months. Heres the formula. OK. Your body burns 2000 calories just to sustain itself. You would need to eat 2000 calories to stay at the same weight. So, to lose weight you need to cut your calories to say 1500 a day. It takes burning 3500 calories to burn 1 pound of fat. Say you are walking 3 miles a day, that is about 300 calories burnt in one day. So, you can take the amount of calories you consumed 1500 subtract 300 and 1200 calories is your caloric intake for the day. Then take 2000 and subtract 1200 and you get 800, which is calories burned for the day. Take 800 times 7 days and that is 5600 calories in one week. Which is 1.6 calories a week. Which is 6.4 pounds in one month. But it will be about 10 plbs a month because you don t vegatate when your not walking. But remember healthy fresh foods are a key to.

Your eating too many calories, that is why you are not losing weight. Decrease your calories to 2200 and see if you start losing weight. If not decrease it to 2000 calories. Keep up with the walking although I think 3 hours is a little much. If possible start weight lifting, it will increase your metabolism and build muscle. You say you are eating healthy foods but you don t say what they are...........
