AI recently started working out again! I weigh 205lbs and I am 5'8. I just started hitting the gym for one hour every other day, mostly participating in classes. I "enjoy" spin class the most, I try to get to that class at least twice a week. As far as diet goes I downloaded an app on my iPhone called MyFitnessPal and it has really helped me keep track so far! I try to take in under 1340 calories per day. My goal is around 50lbs, or whenever I feel more comfortable! Any suggestions you guys have would be great! I don't know what a realistic time frame is to get this done so any insight would be very much appreciated! I need advice on if my calorie count and gym time seem appropriate for a fifty pound weight loss! Thanks!!!
Newcomer Alert! Any advice would be amazing!

Hey Shan, welcome to the forum! As far as giving a time frame, think an average of 1% of your body weight per week weight loss. You might lose a bit more at the beginning, and then it might slow down as you get closer to your target weight. 1340 calories sounds very low... how did you decide on that number?
