Look at the BMI chart to find out how much weight you need to lose to move from obese to overweight or from overweight into a healthy range. Knowing this can help you set a good weight loss goal.

I agree that its about 3500. so, if your wieght is constant, (ie, you are not still gaining weight), and you increase your physical activity so that you are burning say,an extra 100 kcals a day, then you will, theoretically, lose one pound in 35 days. Reducing your calorie intake at the same time, whilst eating a properly balanced diet, will increase the rate of loss. Incidentally, if you increast the amount of exercise you do, you will actually boost your metabolism so that whilst you are not exercising, your base metabolic rate will be slightly higher and you will lose more weight than you think you will by just adding up the calories you use during execise.
