I'm fat, 5ft 7in and 195 lbs, female.
No exercise currently. I need to lose weight by May. I will start exercising and I can exercise 5 days a week. How much can I lose? |

| Exercise doesn't usually help with weight loss. Gotta focus on diet first. |

OP here, I agree. But it can't hurt. |

I have a full gym at home. I will probably do the rowing machine or treadmill. |

Unless you are not tracking calories. If you exercise and don't track calories you might end up Eating more because you feel hungrier and/or because you feel you deserve "a treat" for working out. This happens all the time. |

I notice not one person actually answered the question for OP.
OP, I estimate 42- 50 lbs. |

Healthfully, sustainable, and without affecting your skin too much? About 21 lbs.
Quickly, more susceptible to regaining, and having loose skin? Double that. |

| Try weight watchers. You'll probably lose up to 10 lbs the first few weeks/month and then 1-2 lbs. a week after. In 21 weeks, you could lose at least 40-50 lbs. (if you track your food). I lost 25 lbs with ww in 2 months and kept it off for 3 years -until I had kids. |

| You could easily lose 20 pounds. Probably 40 is reasonable if you pay attention to nutrition and occasionally work out. |

+1 I'd guess the lower end if you just focus on exercise alone and probably closer to the higher end if focus on diet + exercise. |

As others have said, Weight Watchers would be good. That would help you keep the weight off.
If you have access to a full gym in your building/home and don't use it right now, that suggests that you need the accountability and motivation. |
