Anyone know what is a realistic weight loss goal for 12 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
6 pounds: To lose each pound you have to burn off 3500 calories that you don't eat. If you want to lose 1/2 pound a week, you need to burn off an extra 3500 calories every two weeks or 1750 calories a week, which is about 250 calories a day, which is an achievable goal.
