hey /fit/
is it healthy to lose 25-30 pounds in 3 months? or would that be too fast and dramatic of a weight loss?

I'd shoot for a little less than 25. About 2 lbs per week is considered healthy.

If you're in the 200+ range, you can get away with 3+ pounds a week. But otherwise, your first goal to start walking then jog. The excess weight will wreck havoc on your knees.

In my old job (a couple of weeks ago in ended) I used to walk 4 hours a day. Now I started jogging about 2 weeks ago, then stopped last week because everyone said it would wreak havoc on my knees. I weigh 265-ish. Now, when I jog, it doesn't really hurt my knees at all, just my muscles because they aren't used to it. I was walking 6 minutes than jogging 2 for a half hour every other day. So, should I start this back up again or not? Because I really don't feel like I'm doing enough just dieting.

i'm far from the 200 range. i was hoping i could just run on the treadmill for 45 minutes as my main cardio and then do some weights ect. but i guess that would be bad?

This is the last time I'm gonna bump. After that, I'll let the question die. But please, just an answer or two.

yes, running puts stress on your knees. The impact is big.
Biking or swimming are much less stressful as cardio.

Fortunately, walking burns way the fuck more calories for fatties; that and basic life changes keeps them from packing on more. So at first, weight loss is rapid; don't get discouraged after a month when it slows down.

"Life changes" sounds like menopause or something.
