I WOULD DROP THE CALORIES TO 1000-1200, AND WALK 4-5 DAYS A WEEK..  AND YOU SHOULD LOSE ABOUT 2LBS A WEEK.. ALSO THE FIRST FEW WEEKS YOU MAY NOT DROP WEIGHT CAUSE YOUR BODY GOES INTO SHOCK(THIS IS IF YOU WERE A NOT VERY ACTIVE PERSON PRIOR TO STARTING YOUR WALKING ROUTINE) BUT AFTER ABOUT 4-6 WEEKS YOUR BODY WILL KIND OF GIVE UP AND DROP WEIGHT QUICKLY..RIGHT NOW IF YOU KEEP THE CALORIES THE SAME AND ONLY EXERCISE 3 TIMES A WEEK.. YOU MAY LOSE ABOUT 1-2 A MONTH.

Experts recommend 10,000 steps a day for cardiovascular health.  That works out to about 5 miles for most people. You may need more than this for weight loss. It all depends on your caloric intake.\n \n  My boyfriend bought a pedometer recently and it really motivated him to get active. He is a very heavy guy on his way to being a less heavy guy, and doing it the healthy way.  \n\nA good high protein and low calorie diet full of fresh and raw foods will also help you reach your goal.  \n\nWalking also reduces stress and blood pressure. I included a link for you to check out in the resource box, hopefully this will help. Good luck to you.

It sounds like you've burned much more than you ate! Remember that everyday you have a "basal metabolic rate" which is the number of calories your body automatically burns just to keep you alive, which will fall somewhere between 1200 - 3000 calories per day depending on your gender, your size, and your activity level. \n\nIt sounds like you're on the right track for weight loss. Good luck!\n\n:-)

It really depends on how much weight you want to loose. How much you already weigh doesnt really matter. Typically, the average calorie intake a day is 2,000.\n\nIf you are planning to lose between 10-15 pounds, cut back to 1,800 calories a day, until you lose the weight\n\nIf you are planning to lose 15-25 pounds, cut back to a 1,500 calories a day, until you lose the weight.\n\nIf you are planning to lose more than 25 pounds, cut back to 1,100 calories a day, until you lose the weight. \n\nIf a person is more than 20 pounds over weight, it might be a good idea to subract an extra 100 calories a day.\n\n\nThe most important thing to do is keep track of where you are getting those calores from. If you are getting your daily calorie intake form junk-food, thats not going to help. Try to fill up your calories on healthier food.

I did Weight Watchers and walked on my treadmill for 3 miles per day and I lost 35 pounds in a little over 2 months.  Definitely cut back your caloric intake and start walking or running.

You can't lose one pound of fat in a day. It takes 3500 calories to gain or lose a pound of fat. That is why it is a good idea to try to lose only 500 calories a day. That way, in one week, you will lose one pound. This way, you can eat healthy and still lose weight. It's all about eating right and exercising. There is no magic pill. It takes time and effort.

i feel that losing 2-3 lbs. each week is a healthy range. if you are overweight, it is easier the first week when you do it, you will lose more weight that week than any other week. \na plan that worked for me was: \n\nfind your daily caloric intake(how many calories you should consume depending on your height and weight) \n\nrecord everything you eat and how many calories it has in it\n\nif you excersize, record how many calories you burned\n\nat the end of the day, subtract the calories that you ate from your daily caloric intake, and add how many you burned to the difference. for ex: if my daily caloric intake was 1800, and i ate 1500, so i burned 300. then say i burned 250 from excersizing. i would add that to the 300, which gives me 550. \n\nthat will tell you how many calories your body burned that day.\n\nyou should be aiming for burning 500 calories each day.\n\nalso drink a lot of water.\n\nyou might not lose as much as you want, but if you stick to it, it will keep working.\n\nhope this helps!

Keep in mind that walking doesn't burn that many calories anyway.  A 200 lb person who walks 2 miles a day will only lose 1 pound in 3 weeks.\n\nYes, sweating will cause more loss ... until you drink a glass of water.\n\nBetter to focus on diet and finding areas to cut back.

You should never strive to lose weight fast.  It's impossible no matter what people say.  If you lose more than 2 pounds in one week you are either a. losing water weight or b. losing muscle mass.  If it's water weight you won't continue to lose that way and if it's muscle mass you won't continue to lose that way either because you will be killing your metabolism.  Soo, my suggestion, if you're under say 200 lbs. cut calories back to NO LOWER than 1200 per day and start cardio exercise 30 min. a day.  That should result in weight loss of about 2 lbs. a week.  Eat WHOLE GRAIN bread, and lay of the fatty foods and sweets.  Fruit juice is just and bad as coke as far as sugar goes, so drink ice cold water.

Losing 25 pounds in 2 months isn't healthy.  You should lose 1-2 pounds a week to do it in a healthy way and have better luck keeping it off.  Eat healthy foods...stuff that's not processed...the more it's processed, the more crap that is put in your body that you don't need.  As far as exercise, shoot for 1 hour a day 5-6 days a week and I was always told by a personal trainer that to lose weight steadily, you need to walk 3 miles a day..that should take about 45 minutes, or that should be your target anyways.  Also, do some weight training..there's all sorts of things to do there.  Your best bet is to join a gym and use their equipment and most gyms have people there that will show you how to use the equipment and give you advice on how to do it.

There are two facets to this problem. One is buring the calories. The other is consuming the calories.  If you consume 3000 calories a day, you will have a really difficult time buring enough to loose weight. A pound of body fat contains 3500 calories. So assuming you are consuming 1500 calories a day, you must run 3 miles a day to loose 3500 calories worth of fat (one pound) every 10 days.

900 calories is a bit low. You need at least 1200 calories everyday. Otherwise your body goes into "shock mode" and will stop burning calories and start storing fat and your body will start to eat muscle and organs, so if you do lose weight, it will be muscle weight (and since muscle gives you tone, you will not look very good) I suggest you eat a healthy breakfast which should be about 300 calories or less(if less, make up for the other calories by munching on fruits and veggies throughout the day) this is important because it gets your body in a calorie burning mode. Then eat the lean cuisine or some other healthy meals for lunch and dinner and do some excercise of course With this plan, you should lose about 1-2.5 pounds a week! (which is considered the perfect rate of weight loss

2 pounds a week is unrealistic, maybe shoot for .5-1\n\ntheoretically, if you want to lose 1 pound a week you need to burn an extra 3,500 calories.. that would be approx. a total of 35 miles a week.. or 5 miles 7 days a week (7 miles 5 days a week) however you want to look at it... \n\nthis would get rid of the weight assuming you don't up your calorie intake at the same time..\n\nthis is also a lot of miles for a beginner.. \n\ni would suggest finding out how much you can run depending on your current fitness level, and then cutting some calories from your diet to make up for the rest of the calories deficit you will need to achieve (3,500) \n\nthis website has a lot of information on running, as well as forums where you can ask questions of other, experienced runners..\n\nrunnersworld.com\n\ni suggest that if you want to start running you read through the website and start small.. \n\nthat's awesome that you want to run, and i'm sure that with an increased level of fitness the weight will come off\n\ngood luck

calorie intake is still a big part.  if you dont walk to burn enough calories that theroy is not true.  the doctors say to lose weight you need to eat less than 1,000 calories a day.  excerise burns calories. but it still depends on what you put in your mouth all day long too.  10 twinkies wont help you lose weight no matter how much you walk.\nwalking in general burns calories... you can power walk or walk normal, the point is to excelerate your heart rate.\nbreaking a sweat is good for your body but not necessary.\n\ni use 2 be 250 pds, now i am 156.\nit works, still to it :)\n\nBren

First off, do you have a workout plan? The biggest misconception is that it has to be a strenuous workout.... If you're not doing anything now, then something as simple as walking will do the trick. I walk three to four times a week. I started off walking just two miles. Now I am up to five miles. You should also try to limit your caloric intake. Try to do something simple such as cutting out snacks. You wouldn't believe how many calories you can save by cutting out something that simple. Don't feel like you have to deprive yourself of everything. Remember.... you're working hard at losing this weight. You deserve a treat every now and then. Moderation is key! Good luck!

To lose 2 pounds per week, you need a daily calorie deficit of 1000 calories.  So, if you can cut calories by 500 and exercise to burn 500, that's just what you need.  Try http://www.sparkpeople.com for your own personal diet and exercise plan.  It's a free website, but very good.  You can do a meal plan and an exercise plan.  Also track your progress.

With weight loss you have to be patient- the faster you lose, the more you will gain the weight back. \nHealthy weight loss that will last is about 1-2 lbs a week. Diet with no more OR LESS than 1200 calories a day in a HEALTHY way, exercise @ least 30 minutes 6 days a week at a moderate rate, and you should lose for good!
