    I have heard weight times eight.....280 = 2240 - 200 = 2040 calories I took away an extra 200 and am loosing 2 pounds per week with 20 min of vigorous exercise 5 x's per week. Could be a year or less to loose it depending on your commitment to getting this thing done.

    As you loose weight recalculate weight times eight to avoid the dreded plateau.

    This is what is working for me personally.

    I wish you the best in your way to a much healthier lifestyle.

    I would probably start out at 1500-1600 calories a day. Walking an hour a day will help tremendously! Good luck on your journey

    This!

    Agree here! MFP should have you at this calorie range. With exercise that should help you reach your goal of 100 lbs in a year. But don't get discouraged if it comes off a bit slower....it's better to be healthy and skinny instead of sick and skinny! Good Luck!

    I am 280lbs now and MFP wanted me to start my calorie intake at around 1900 with 5 days of exercise. I bumped it down to 1500 and I've been keeping under that. Seeing results all ready and with keeping it in that range it is plenty of food to keep me satisfied through out the day. Good luck on everyone's journey!
