Depends: one pound = 3500 calories. the healthiest approach is to lose 1-2 lbs/week under the supervision of your doctor. a nutritionist can also help tailor a dietary plan. I would recommend that you start with a food diary and start counting calories. do not forget to exercise 4-5 days/week for 60 mins.
