For the first two weeks, I ate only 1200-1400 calories a day based on the info I found here (http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/loseweight/loseweight.html)... That got me down to 212.6... the only exercise I was doing was a few 5 KM walks a day.
The third week, I bought a bike, and I've been doing four 4.5KM circuits a day, all on an uphill incline. I'd been going moderate intensity, not all out because I have a heart/anxiety issue but I've been going pretty hard, pushing myself a lot more each day. I've lost 11.2 lbs so far (that's 3.7 a week), I don't know if that's good but now I want some advice on how to better my routine. I bought some dumbbells, I'm well aware of the exercises you can do with them, I'm also buying a flat/incline bench today so I can do more exercises. Any tps on a routine I should do? Also, since I am burning roughly 800-1000 calories with my biking, does that mean I should eat an extra 800 calories? I didn't realize that until yesterday, if I'm only eating 1200 a day, and burning 800, then that means I'm only getting 400 right? If so that is bad, and probably the reason why I only lost 2.2 lbs this week.
tl;dr: Anyone got some tips for someone just starting to be healthy? And have any good weekly workout routines (dumbells only) to share?
