A member asked:
I've been eating 1700 cal and working out 4-5 times a week for 30 min, is this enough to lose a pound as week?

3500 calories/1lb: You have to cut down 3500 calories in your diet to loose one pound if you cut down 500 calories per day, you will loose 1 pound in on week, and approx 4 lbs in a month your weight loss is based on extra calories you burn by exercising plus the calories you reduce in your diet so calculate for yourself, if you are negative 3500 cals per week, it will take 30 weeks.

Ive been working out (boxing and Pilates), as well as walking for 3 weeks. Ive always had a very poor metabolism (or at least difficulty losing weight), but I havent lost even one pound. I am fine with slow progress, but not zero progress. My concern is that I might not be taking in enough calories for my size. Im 56 and 291 pounds. Ive been eating between 950-1100 calories a day.
