I currently weigh 170lbs. How much weight do you think that I would be able to safely lose in four months following a diet of 1200 calories per day and getting daily exercise? thank you

    at 1,200 a day, you will lose 2 pounds a week, times that by 16 weeks and an estimate would be 32 lbs, a realistic estimate would be 15-25 lbs

    I went from 170 to 150 in 3 months and 1 week. Eating 1200 cals for the first month and half, now eating 1360.

    I started at 178lbs and have lost 30lbs in the last 13 weeks.

    I've been netting 1200 calories a day, pretty consistently, as well as doing a little exercise (eg a brisk walk around the block) almost every day and working out properly for an hour about 3 times a week. The loss has started to slow down though, so by 16 weeks I estimate I will have lost around 33lbs total.
