Please, really need help and I suck at maths. I'm 220lb and want to lose 40lb before Xmas Eve this year. If I consume 3,000 calories a day, how many steps do I need to take each day to hit that goal?

Rough back of the napkin calculation says you can have a maximum of 1100 calories per day till Xmas eve. That’s per day, not 7700 calories in a single week because you binged on Saturday. 1100 a day and start lifting weights.

To lose 40 pounds, you'd need to create a deficit of 140,000 calories (40 pounds * 3,500 calories/pound
Walking burns calories, with about 100 calories burned per mile (2,000 steps).
140 days to Christmas.
So 5 miles per day 10,000 steps minimum.
