Trying to lose 2 lbs per week, by exercising strictly, because dieting is not working for me.0

It will totally burn you out doing that daily. I get that burn about 3-4 times a week with smaller burns on other days.
I either do 2 hour long boxing classes and 5 miles walking, or I do a few hours cycling and 5 miles walking.
But, it is far better to learn to eat the correct amount, and workout in a way that is enjoyable and sustainable.
Edited to add ... I use a polar FT4 and have maintained eating all those calories back, thus I know my burns are pretty accurate.0 -
Seems extreme BUT invest in a good HRM (Polar ft4 or ft7) and move, sweat get your heart rate up until you have burned 1000 cals.
Running. Biking. Workout DVDs. Fast paced walks. Kickboxing. Weight Lifting. All of that. Get your heart racing.
Something I've learned the hard way... You can't outwork a bad diet. Fact of life my dear.
Goodluck (:0 -
I can do it through one of my long bike rides, but that means a couple of hours of bike riding each day. Thats a lot of bike riding0

Do you weigh and measure and log your intake?? Just curious why the diet part is not working as you say... I have always kept the exercise separate from the diet part... I lost weight with a deficit and exercised for fitness......0
-
Walk walk walk. Or bike. Or run. Or hike. It is very doable (I do it often) but it will be a 90-180 minute effort.
I'd suggest shooting for 50/50. Your diary is private but if you shared, people here would be happy.0 -
I have to ride my bike hard for about 30 - 35 miles or so every single day...which isn't happening. I don't think your plan is very good...it is going to be very difficult to maintain that kind of level of effort for any prolonged period of time...plus, that body needs rest to recover and what not.
Bad plan...0 -
Have you tried swimming? It's much more impact forgiving than running and/or other rigorous forms of aerobic activity. Swim laps for half an hour, grab some foam water weights for resistance work, repeat as many times as your energy levels allow. Swimming is what I've turned to since my arthritic knee and torn meniscus will allow. Good luck.0

You can do it, but take this from someone who used to average 1,100+ cals/day for months: diet is MORE important than exercise burn for weight loss (and nutrition). I actually lose most consistently when I work out by doing short lifting sessions and walking only. When I add more intense or longer aerobic training to burn more calories, my appetite intensifies accordingly and its harder to keep the same deficit.0

I ran a half marathon and burned that much.0

Run for 4 or 5 hours straight and you will burn about 1000.0

Exercise is for health.
If you are not losing then you are not in a deficit.
Do you use a food scale?

Most people do it by lying.
45 minutes cleaning, vigorous effort: 9013 calories.
This!!!! lol. Invest in a HRM please. For the love of all that is good. One with a chest strap. As I mentioned above. MFP overestimates.0 -
I'll be honest, I don't think trying to do that by exercise is going to work. I spent my first 7 weeks exercising, figuring that the deficit from that would be enough to lose weight as long as I didn't go crazy with my eating. I lost nothing. It wasn't until I got my food intake under control, and started weighing and measuring portions, that the scale started to move.
If you open your diary and give us more info, we'd be able to offer suggestions that'll get the scale moving.0 -
Be fit, and then push hard.
I can accomplish by maintaining HR of 153 for 60 min, middle of aerobic zone, and that is easy for several hours actually. And that's net burn, not gross including resting burn that would have happened anyway.
But frankly, what you are asking about, is basically the same thing, except it's much easier to always remove 1000 from what you burn, than trying to burn 1000 more than you eat.
Here's why it basically doesn't work well, and don't even worry about the lifting aspect, listen to the logic.

This could be due to effort: Maybe you didn't work as hard as you think. We tend to overestimate.
The HRM is not a good quality Polar brands tend to be more reliable with chest strap
The HRM is defective
The HRM is not calibrated to your body? Height, Weight ect
Or back to effort... I would trust that HRM more than MFP logs.0 -
run 10 miles a day0

Would you be willing to share what specific diet you have attempted...I ask with the most sincere intentions...A balanced diet will allow you to eat all through the day and never feel hungry...Matter a fact, I have to force myself to eat more and it leave me with a terrible feeling...This is my second attempt at life change and this time, I will not accept failure...
I eat a high protein, low carb/sugar diet...I am happy to share my diet with you as well...You can lose a solid 1-2 pounds per week with a mere 500 calorie deficit... Exercise/strength training will assist with muscle development...Muscle will assist your body in burning more calories each day...
I am sure that may be able to explain it in a better way...Sharing your diary will truly allow others to assist and or make recommendations...
Stay strong...0 -

I'm about your age, I eat 1800-2000 cals a day, and I've never ever burned 1000 cals through exercise in the past three or more years. And I've managed to reach goal weight, lose several sizes, plenty of fat, and have kept it off for more than two years now.
Honestly - reasonable calorie deficit for weight loss (or more specifically FAT loss), exercise for fitness. You don't have to eat a certain way or eliminate a food group, or carbs, or eat clean, avoid white foods or whatever - calorie deficit is all it takes. And I still eat pizza, burgers, rice, pasta, ice cream, drink alcohol, etc.
Edited to add: trying to burn 1000 cals a day is going to take up a lot of your time to reach that daily goal - not to mention accounting for fueling such a workout....in which case you might as well just focus on eating the right number of cals to begin with, do a shorter, quality workout (I recommend lifting heavy, or at least some form of weight/strength/resistance training & throw in a little cardio that you enjoy), eating the proper number of cals, and being patient. This is more along the lines of lifestyle change and sustainable loss.0 -
There are a few gyms in my area called "Orange Theory Fitness" that claim those kinds of calories burned after a 60-minute workout. Of course, that's using their monitors, so that may be about as accurate as the treadmill's calorie count .0

Those 1700ish calories would be a non-exercise maintenance number...guess what happens when you exercise (and no, you don't need to burn off 1,000)? That maintenance number goes up....and guess what....so does the amount you can eat to still lose weight.
You're not appropriately accounting for exercise activity and obviously not understanding how that activity directly correlates to your energy needs as a whole.0 -

I weigh 170 lbs which means I burn about 1700 to sustain, in order for me to have a deficit of 500 calories a day I would have to consume 1200 calories a day, which has been very difficult for me.

I don't know your height but I am 168cm and about 140 pounds and I have to eat 1950 per day to maintain? Where did you get the 1700 from? If it is MFP don't forget you are meant to eat back your exercise calories so you will be eating 1200 NET a day.
Try plugging your info into here and double check the numbers (apologies if you already have they just seem quite low)

I hike (walk) 4 miles with 1200 ft of elevation change (800 feet on a map but the trail goes up and down the same 100 feet repeatedly) for about 700 calories, or 6 miles with about 1400 feet of elevation for about 1000 calories. The first hike takes about 100 minutes and the second takes about 150 minutes.
Do you really have the time for such an ambitious schedule? I don't do these every day, but they do let me eat a lot. I have to be careful though because I'm missing a chunk of ankle joint surface and one mis-step could strand me out there and leave me on crutches for weeks.0 -

It sounds like 2lbs a week isn't a sustainable goal for you then. Take it down to 1lb a week or even .5lbs. It doesn't sound like much but keep to it and after a few weeks of losing .5 with a .5 loss goal you'll be better off than if you don't meet a 2lb loss goal because it's too much for you.0 -
I bike every day for hours. I get easily 1000 calories a day. Running burns a lot too.
I do not know how much time you have . I am retired, so I have all the time in the world.0 -
hate to break it to you, but if you're having a hard time sticking to eating fewer calories, you're probably also going to have a hard time sticking to burning 1,000 calories a day.0

I have an HRM and a BodyMedia, the HRM shows that I hardly burning any calories when exercising, for example yesterday it showed that I burned 250 calories in a one hour zumba class which does not make sense.
What was your average heart rate during that hour? It would have to be pretty high if you expect to burn more than that at your weight. Also, you said that you "burn 1700 a day." Are you saying that's your TDEE or your have you had your BMR measured? Your profile says that you've tried "every diet out there." Dieting is a sure fire way to slow down your metabolism. You might want to try eating at maintenance for a while and give yourself a rest. Even check out the the Eat More to Weight Less group.0
