To lose weight you don't just need to consume less calories (energy) - you need to consume less calories than you need... So how many calories do you need?... Well if you were to spend all day doing nothing you would use approximately 15 calories per pound of body weight, so if you weigh 200 pounds you would use 3000 calories ped day. If you were to start doing things such as walking, running, swimming, gardening, house cleaning then you would use more calories, you can find out how many here www.myfitnesspal.com/exercise/lookup To lose one pound of fat you need a deficit of 3500 calories, which is the same as losing one pound per week by creating a deficit of 500 calories per day. So to lose two pounds per week would require a deficit of 1000 calories per day, 3 pounds per week 1500 calories per day and so on... You should aim to derive half of you calorie deficit through reducing your food intake and the other half through exercise. So if a 200 pound person wanted to lose 2 pounds per week they would require a calorie deficit of 1000 calories per day. This means they would require a net calorie intake of 2000 calories per day. So they would need to reduce their calorie intake from food to 2500 calories per day and also do sufficient exercise each day to use up 500 calories, then their net calorie intake would be 2000. Food-Intake - Base-Calorie-Usage - Exercise-Calorie-Usage = Calorie-Deficit
2500 - 3000 - 500 = -1000 calories

Can I just eat a low calorie diet and lose weight?
Eating only a low calorie diet is a way to lose weight. But, simply taking in fewer calories is not the whole story. The reason Weight Watchers works is that in addition to a lower calorie diet, it encourages you to eat healthier calories (i.e. an apple as opposed to a chocolate bar for a snack) and it also emphasizes group support in its meetings to help provide reinforcement for losing weight. So while eating fewer calories will help you to lose weight, if coupled with an organized plan it can be much more effective.
