    You're only eating 900 calories daily, at a current body weight of 101kg (about 223 pounds)? If so, you're severely under-nourishing and under-fueling yourself, at risk to your health.

    Suggestion: Eat more.

    You need to eat more and be patient in your weight loss, it's not a race, it's about changing your habits for life.

    900 cal is way too low. You're very close to the same height and weight as me and with no exercise at all I can lose about a pound a week at 1,700 cal daily.

    Extreme diets don't help you develop the eating habits to remain at a healthy weight for a lifetime.

    You're being TOO AGGRESSIVE with your program. And I can almost guarantee you that you'll regain weight because it WON'T be a program you'll stick to for life.
    That's the key: eating a way you can control your weight FOR LIFE. IMO, eat up to your BMR for now. Guessing 1780 calories.

    What the others said: slow down! You're just setting yourself up for failure. And damaging your body at least in the short term. There's really no need for that. Slow and steady always wins the race.

    I won't pile on about the calories (although they are right). Walking and weights is a fantastic combo for sure. Just a word of warning though, you said you are "starting hard". You want to be careful to avoid injury, or to set too high short term goals which may end up frustrating you. If you haven't been doing much so far, set your target to walk 5km per week, and next week do a little more. Start out with weights 2-3 times and over time add sets, reps, maybe another day. You don't need to do it all at once. Give your body time to adjust.

    Good luck!
