    One easy way to look at it is that one pound is 3500kcal. To lose one pound a week, cut out 3500kcal from your BMR every week, or roughly 500 calories shy of your BMR every day. Want to accelerate that weight loss? Work out to create even more of a deficit. Just be sure that you're going to properly nourish your body by eating properly. As others have stated already, it comes off quick & easy in the beginning but takes more effort over time.

    Don't cut it out from your BMR. Cut it out from your TDEE. TDEE = BMR + Daily Energy Expenditure. BMR by itself is your basal metabolic rate which is the number of calories your body needs just to stay alive. Eating under your BMR is unhealthy because at that point you're not even giving your body enough energy to sustain itself let alone any other activities you do per day.

    It is most definitely attainable. It just takes vigilance, and the proper attitude.
