Is it? Sometimes you wonder what is normal, there never seems to be any staff around when I need them at my gym. Someone said to see how long it takes to burn off 100 calories so I might try that next time.

Exactly. The fact I just ate a pack of Wispa bites does not negate the walking it took to get them. My heart and body was exercised.

I can only run as fast as my boobs allow.. not fast or far at all.

I do however really want to get fitter and loose a lot of weight. I need to get back to the gym and on the bike and rowing machines again.

I also need someone to slap food out of my hands

I would say it mostly depends on your metabolism, you make it sound scarier than it is

And if you break it down, you can lose 1 lb every month just by having a 300 calorie deficit a day

Yeah, stripped 4kg of fat after not hitting the gym for over 4 months, firstly for crippling sciatica then kidney stones.

Now clean bulking (around 3500 calories a day) and smashing the gym. Cardio is currently a little limited as it genuinely bores the piss out of me. I throw rounds of skipping into my daily workouts, and occasional tabata rowing machine and bike to work. I'm a fair weather cardio kind of guy, waiting for it to warm up a bit.
