So for the past 1.5 years I've just havent felt like doing anything, no job, no school, no sleep.
Only playing pc-games, smoking weed and munch.

It's time for a change.
1 month ago I quit smoking weed.

Today I started counting calories.
Only problem is that I don't know what calorie intake I should aim for, I wanna lose weight fast.


Weight: 250 lbs
height: 6'5

My friend told me ~1700 cal/day, should I try to do it?

Not at the moment, only walking my dog.
Plan on starting to workout soon but I have to wait a few weeks before I can start.

2400 calories isn't terribly low for someone unactive at 250 lbs. As you add exercise, you might need to add calories. However, if you're not worried about preserving strength and muscle mass and have aren't having problems feeling like you're starving to death, you can keep it there.

We were a similar size (started my cut at 265). Currently down quite a bit, I would recommend 1900-2300 if you want fast results. I lift 5-7 times a week and cardio a minimum of 5 and eat clean. I have lost 43 lbs so far, of which about 8 lbs was sadly mass. Now approaching the final stretch (probably have a month or so left). That has worked for me.

If you are just looking to lose weight and don't care about your mass (wouldn't recommend that) you could be safe walking and dieting, I would recommend walking for an hour + daily though at a good pace
