lose weight
Thomas B asked:

I know thats a pound. But can you lose more weight than just a pound? Like lets say you burn 3,500 calories each week, for a month and you lose only 4 pounds. Can you lose more than just 4 pounds? Or would the rest be water weight?

Could you lose weight and the scales wouldnt change?

    It isnt safe to lose more then 2 pounds a week.
    The scale would lie unless it is broke. Muscle weighs more then fat. The scale might say that you weigh the same, but in fact you might have gained muscle and lost fat. If it says you weigh more it could be just because of that and also do to water. The ebst time to weigh yourself is the exact time every day. maybe when you first wake up after you pee. And also weigh yourself wearing just your under clothes. That weigh you know that the weight on the scale isnt just water, and isnt clothing weight, nor food and water weight.

    The weight you lose will depend on how many calories you eat also. Not just in average in a week. If you are eating less then the required amount for your body (which is a norm of 2,000 a day) then its possible to lose more weight in a week. BUT just “buring” 3,500 a week wont do very much to you if you are eating a normal caloric intake.
