I've been dieting for 3 weeks now i look like i lost inches, but i was wondering how long it will take to loose 60 lbs if im doing 30 ds, walking challenge between 1-4 miles a day and strength training all with dieting

    Depends on your TDEE and caloric deficit...

    It's not an answerable question with the information you've given us. 800 years? 15 seconds?

    At a theoretical 2 lb/week, 6-8 months.

    It will take as long as it takes - there is no definitive answer :)

    If you put in the work and dedication, an average loss of 1-2lb per week can be expected but so many factors can affect that. Best of luck and enjoy the process!

    Quit "dieting" and start a plan to consistently eat less due to your change in lifestyle if you want to keep it off.

    Agree. Stop calling this is a 'diet'. A diet implies temporary changes, not permanent. :)

    It takes a 3500 calorie deficit to lose 1 pound. So you can use a combination of diet and exercise to accumulate that. For one pound a week, total deficit of 500 a day.

    2lb/week (every week from start to finish), would take 7 months, so any suggestions less than that aren't likely and probably aren't healthy.

    With 60lb to lose, you can probably lose 2lb a week to start and taper it off to 0.5-1lb as you near the end. But, if you are short, you may have to go slower.

    If you eat properly (i.e. follow what MFP says for calories and weigh/log accurately), then my guess is 10-12 months. It could be as little as 9 months, or could be as many as 2 years. It all depends on how closely you stick to a well formed plan.
