    What are your goals? Are you wanting to be able to work out at home?

    Hiking with the entire family...you'll combine family time, snack time, exercise all into one. It's very time efficient.

    That's a huge goal you have. Set small goals along the way so you can try to stick with it and see if your end goal is realistic....and yes the more calories you burn the more you can eat during the day if you choose to eat them back.

    ok that sounds like a better idea with the smaller goals

    Maybe you could try looking up cardio or zumba videos on youtube and follow along with those. Doesnt require any equipment and it makes you sweat a lot! (Dont forget lots and lots of water as well)

    Not sure if I'm reading this right, so apologies if not: You mean you weigh 265 and would like to weigh 160... by the end of June? Do you mean 2016? Because you could maybe hit that by June 2016.

    So a realistic rate of weight loss is 0.5 lb to 2 lbs per week. The closer you get to goal weight, the slower it's going to go though. This will likely take you 1.5-2 years.

    I'm just saying this so that you know what to expect. I don't want you to freak out when you "only" lose 1 lb in a week or seem to see no change (that will happen, it's quite common). A lot of people give up because they don't meet expectations that were never realistic or possible to begin with.
