How much weight do you expect to lose per month?

this would depend on how fat you are right now

I started the year at about 315, running 2 miles every morning before work and not drinking any soda or eating fast food I'm down to 288. Hoping to lose another 15 to 25 by the end of the year

if you are 30-50lbs overweight and stick to diet and exercise i would expect around 10lbs a month.


if you are 100 or more lbs overweight more

Safe weight loss is 1-3lbs a week

That's great dude! Have you been readjusting your caloric intake as you lose weight? Have you incorporated any weightlifting? Your body will get use to running 2 miles a day and it won't do as much for fat loss as it use to.

At most I'd say 2 pounds a week but probably closer to a little over a pound, because you will be putting on muscle too.

If you're eating right and exercising like you should, how much do you expect to lose?

This is subjective. Eating the correct types of food in bulk will still get you fat or retain weight. Make sure you are taking in the correct amount of calories for your body. If you under do your calories, your body won't be as efficient shedding it off. Also, doing the same exercises over and over will start to dwindle your results because the body wants to be homogeneous state. It will adapt.

As a guy that puts on about 10-15 lbs of football watching weight every fall/winter, it usually takes me about 2-4 months to get it off. A good number if getting after it is about 2 lbs/week, but I usually lose a week or two due to an event on a weekend.

I never focused on my actual weight.

I had gotten out of shape, so I started running and eating right. Pretty much measured results by the way my pants fit and how I look.

8 to 10, but take some measurements, especially if you are doing weight training. You might lose inches but not a ton of weight.

Exactly! I tried to get the wife to take some "before" pictures of me when I first started but I didn't.
I'm noticing all of clothes fitting very loose already.
I started on 7/29 and this morning I'm down 22lbs.
Eating lots of protein lean meats and veggies, drinking tons of water. Joined the gym Monday and started back on lots of cardio, followed by weight training.
