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. Thanks for your help. Nutrition concern?

I'm losing 1-2 lbs. per day because I've restricted myself to a 500-calorie/day diet. Is it okay to lose up to 2 lbs per day as long as my diet is healthy and I'm doing cardio? I was told 1 lb. per week is safer. Why wouldn't 1-2 lbs. a day be good?
