What % of American adults could stand to lose 25 pounds or more?
400477
yeah i would say its a high number, probably something like your guess of 65 or 70%. America has such a high population of obese people... its really sad, and very unhealthy.
130769
The other 25% would leave.

The average weight in the us is overweight, probably 180lb or more.  The ideal healthy weight is more like 140-165lb.  If you are more muscular, then that can go up considerably and may even on most charts tell you that you are obese, but everyone knows that muscle weighs more than fat.

The diet craze doesn't help anyone because everyone wants to lose weight with the minimum amount of work.  The only way to slim down America is for Americans to get off of thier lazy asses and do some work.

None, you actually need to exercise and eat healthy.

Losing 25 pounds in 2 months isn't healthy.  You should lose 1-2 pounds a week to do it in a healthy way and have better luck keeping it off.  Eat healthy foods...stuff that's not processed...the more it's processed, the more crap that is put in your body that you don't need.  As far as exercise, shoot for 1 hour a day 5-6 days a week and I was always told by a personal trainer that to lose weight steadily, you need to walk 3 miles a day..that should take about 45 minutes, or that should be your target anyways.  Also, do some weight training..there's all sorts of things to do there.  Your best bet is to join a gym and use their equipment and most gyms have people there that will show you how to use the equipment and give you advice on how to do it.

Two thousand calories is what the average adult should consume every day. You can eat even more calories than you did today and you'll still be fine.
687668
I would say anywhere from 105-120. Besides your weight changes a couple pounds each day.

I have heard the average based on a study of 7 thousand adults,across the united states,age 30 and over, stated that 39% use mariuana .

2000 if you want to maintain your body. However, this includes some sort of fitness regimen. 1800 or less to lose some weight. But don't go down below 1500, it's not very healthy or pleasant:)

80 to 95 pounds. ask your doctor too he or she can tell you easily.

It really depends on how much weight you want to loose. How much you already weigh doesnt really matter. Typically, the average calorie intake a day is 2,000.\n\nIf you are planning to lose between 10-15 pounds, cut back to 1,800 calories a day, until you lose the weight\n\nIf you are planning to lose 15-25 pounds, cut back to a 1,500 calories a day, until you lose the weight.\n\nIf you are planning to lose more than 25 pounds, cut back to 1,100 calories a day, until you lose the weight. \n\nIf a person is more than 20 pounds over weight, it might be a good idea to subract an extra 100 calories a day.\n\n\nThe most important thing to do is keep track of where you are getting those calores from. If you are getting your daily calorie intake form junk-food, thats not going to help. Try to fill up your calories on healthier food.

The South Beach Diet is a great way. My mom (53) and I (27) went on the diet together, and we both lost about 15 pounds. We could clearly tell our  stomachs looked better!
