You could lose a pound of fat per day if you're really determined. I run 15+ miles a week and do Tae Bo and ab workouts. It's very important that you realize this is something you're going to have to stick to and really get into it if you're looking for results. \n\nEver heard the line 'no pain no gain?' Well that's the truth. Working out isn't something to slack off on. You're going to have to get sweaty and sore and it takes a lot of work - so don't get your hopes up and expect results within a few days. Sure, you can lose a pound a day when you cut back on the junk you put into your body, but remember that fat weighs less than muscle, so losing a pound of fat won't be very noticeable.\n\nNormally the number of calories the body needs is about 1,400+ but below 2,000 depending on your size and how active you are. When you start this workout routine remember to eat 400 less calories than you would normally eat.\n\nTry running at least two miles a day if you're in good condition. You should have your heartrate at a high level for at least 45 minutes. The first 15 minutes you are working out, your body is using the food that you've ingested that day for energy. Once that food is used up (after about 25 minutes) your body starts to use your stored fat for energy. So it's very very important to have a good cardiovascular workout. If you have problems with shin splints or any other pain when you first start running, take time off from that and try Tae-Bo. It's totally fun, I'm sure you've heard of it. It's a mixture of boxing and dance, and it's definately a calorie burner. \n\nMuscle weighs more than fat, as I've mentioned above. You might not lose double digits in pounds, but I will gurantee that you'll drop pant sizes and you'll have a more toned body.\n\nI started running about a year ago. At first I had really bad shin splints but I kept at it because I love working out. I weighed 140 pounds and I was five four!! Lol, so yeah. It was terrible. Running was hard at first, but I remembered what my goal was and I had to keep pushing at it. I wanted to have a more toned body and I wanted to feel good about myself. At any rate, I have lost 15 pounds of fat - but keep in mind I have replaced that with muscle, so I'm at a healthy weight of about 125 pounds. I still weigh more than I'd like to think I do, but I'm healthy - and remember - - muscle weighs more than fat - so standing on the scale and looking at the numbers won't do you too much good. I've dropped pant sizes and I feel really good about myself. I work out at least five days a week and I basically eat what I want, but I skip the candy and fast foods (I only have fast food once every few weeks). Make sure you eat lean meats like chicken and pork. Fruits are always a major plus, and they taste good. Try making a fruit smoothie for lunch or something. Always eat at least two big meals a day. I eat breakfast, lunch, and try to have a smaller dinner. Don't worry about people telling you not to eat past 7:00PM at night - it's bogus. It might not be healthy, but you can burn off the excess calories the next day :)\n\nIt might be discouraging at first, but remember what your goal is. Have a set schedule of the time of day you're going to go to the gym or begin your workout and STICK TO IT.\n\nOn days that you don't run - stick in a Tae-Bo video, or get The Firm 5 Day Abs video. They both work great, and I love them.\n\nI find that when I listen to music that it keeps my mind off the pain and how tired I'm getting. It really helps me keep the determination. You can try using energy drinks at first - I drink the Monster ones (the blue one because it's low carb).\n\nYou'll see results within a few weeks, but keep at it and don't give up. If you need anymore information, feel free to contact me.

your weight is good, no need to lose ny of it. just do regular exercise to keep fit (not to lose weight). this may include 20-30 mins of walking/jogging a day.

If you run 2 miles in 20 minutes, that's 272 calories.  Say you do that 5 times per week.  That is 1360 calories burned.  If you do that for 4 weeks, that's 5400 calories burned.  You need to burn 3500 calories to lose 1 pound.  So in 4 weeks, that amounts to a little over 1 1/2 pounds.  Not a lot of weight, but a good start.\n\nHopefully after a month, you could increase your distance to 3 miles.  The more that you can run, the more calories that you'll burn.

heres the thing. the first 15-20 minutes of your excercise on the treadmille is burning glycogen. You are burning calories this way, but not fat calories. The rest of the time you spend on the treadmille, you will be burning fat calories which is your goal. so try to start with day one being 30 minutes of treadmille, then next day 31, so on and so forth until you can get up to 45 minutes a day. you will be burning fat in no time this way, and u will be gradually making good headway, not all at once. keep motivated, and good luck.

Sweetie, I understand your pain. And maintaining a healthy weight is a good thing. But try not to pin your hopes for how the next year is going to go by how much weight you can lose. You only set yourself up for disappointment that way.\n\nThat being said, we all know that the way the body loses weight is when we consume fewer calories than we burn. See your doctor or another trusted adult and set yourself a healthy goal. If you're out of school now, you should have plenty of time to exercise (unless you have a job, but you still need to find the time). \n\nPick a sport or an exercise that you enjoy. Swimming is one of the best ones you can do - it's low impact, helps develop those beautiful long muscles, and burns a TON of calories. I'm talking about lap swimming, now, not splashing in the pool with your friends. Although that would be far better than nothing. Exercise 3 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on, 1 day off. You have to give your body a chance to recover or you'll hurt yourself. When you exercise, go for 30 - 60 minutes at a time, but again, don't overdo. It's also perfectly acceptable to exercise for a short time several times a day. The point is to burn the calories.\n\nAfter you get your exercise routine down, you need to look at what you eat. Write down everything you eat every day for a week. Include everything, even a stick of gum. Also, write down the time you ate it and what you were doing at the time. This should give you an idea of how healthy your diet is. Do some research on the internet for healthy eating, and plan accordingly. You should eat at least 1500 to 1700 calories per day - again, ask a trusted adult and DO YOUR RESEARCH on this part. You DO NOT want to get sick.\n\nContinue logging your meals and exercise, and be sure to take a daily multivitamin and drink at least 8, 8 oz glasses of water every day. It may seem like a lot, but think of it as a way of flushing the fat out of your system. Depending on how much weight you have to lose, add another glass for every extra 25 pounds. \n\nRemember, this has to be a lifestyle change for it to be really effective. Good luck!

have you been eating more?  How long are you working out? and hour? half hour? Remember first that muscle weighs more than fat does..really...most adults should strive for 30 minutes of exercise everyday..to loose weight you'll need to increase your cardio and decrease your caloric intake..lost 22 pounds this summer...was really strict w/calories..no junk, no mid am snack, mid pm snack was steamed veggies, reminded myself that it was okay to be hungry, and worked out 5-6 days a week for a minimum of 60  minutes, more like 90 minutes a day...drank tons of water and iced tea..it worked but it was hard work...you can do this..have an epiphany to change your life and embrace good health

I could very easily make many recommendations for you but a little more information would help, this includes your height to better determine what kind of frame we are looking at here, and finally, any disabilities that would prevent you from engaging in a moderate exercise plan, any foods you absolutely can't stand, and finally, how long you want it to take to lose all of this. If you are about 5'6, then you are exactly right that you are about 20-30 lbs over average. Keep in mind, if you are an athletic individual, then weight shouldn't mean anything. Muscle doubles fat in terms of weight. In any event, if you don't have any problems with food dislikes, and no disabilities preventing you from a modest workout, I'll tell you how to lose 20-30 lbs in 2-3 months. It requires extensive dicipline however and it helps if you have a buddy to pair up with. I promise you that if you can get past the first 10 days of my program, it will be quite easy to maintain my program. A lot of what I'm going to tell you won't be popular but I as well as many of my friends are a direct product of this program so give it a shot...\n\nHere's your recipe:\n1. First off, cut your calorie intake! The average American consumes 3000 calories a day! Even the recommended 2000 calories per day is SO much more than the body needs. Take it a step further and ask why on earth do we eat three meals a day? Back in the day when civilization was first getting a move on and we were running around the praire hunting things do you think we ate three meals a day? We were lucky to eat one, or any at all. Cut your calories right now to 1250 per day and COUNT them! The average human needs well under this to maintain body weight so even doing this alone won't provide much results. Try to eat lots of fiber, as this expands in your body and makes you full faster. KASHI cereals with one cup of non-fat milk, a slice of Oroweat Light toast and spray butter is an excellent breakfast. Egg Beaters are also a good choice. They are low in calories, and high in protein. For lunch, try a 5slice deli-cut roasted chicked sandwich plain on that oroweat bread. For dinner, eat as many vegetables as you can get your hands on, and chicken, chicken, chicken. Basically, try to stay under 1250 calories per day, eat foods that are high in protein, high in fiber, low in fat, and low in sodium. For seasonings, use only Garlic Powder or Pepper (not garlic salt), Ketchup, and mustard. Stay away from mayo, salt, and just about anything else (Salt makes your body retain water... fat is about 98% water... Get rid of the salt, lower your water intake, but don't dehydrate yourself). Finally, switch to diet sodas as an easy way to shave off a couple hundred calories per day, and instead of juice, try crystal light... They taste pretty good! Safeway also has a diet carbonated beverage that is pretty good. The diet stuff will taste pretty bad at first but after you get used to it, you'll hate regular soda and you'll shutter at the thought of drinking your fat... I'll tell you, the first 10 days of eating like this will be the toughest. Your body is used to eating a lot more, using half, and making fat with the rest. Its going to be crushed when it has to start burning fat to meat the energy quota for the day. After 10 days though your body will be totally used to it, your stomach will shrink in size, and you will therefore be less hungry.\n2. Excercise doesn't have to be long and difficult. Quite easy in fact. If you dedicate 10 minutes to exercising, 5 days a week, I can GUARANTEE YOU"LL LOSE THE WEIGHT! This of course is assuming you maintain my little diet for you above. Anyway, this is all you have to do, three things... Situps, Run, and if you have stairs or access to a stair stepper, the stepper. Workup to three sets of 30 situps per day, so 90 situps a day, 5 days a week... Run as fast as you can for 3 minutes on a treadmill, twice per da

I think you should loose it without a problem. Sounds like you're going about it the right, healthy way. I don't think you should cut anymore calories out. I heard that if your body only receives, for example, 1500 cals a day, That your metabolism will actually slow down so that your body can make those 1500 cals last. I'm not adoc or a fitness nut, but I did take a bodybuilding class college and my teacher stressed the importance of maintaining a good diet in order to achieve optimal results. Because you are exercising 5 days a week, your body will need a good, healthy 2000 cal a day diet to have the energy necessary to continue your workout regime. Good luck!

Like most people said, it's going to depend on what your weight is, how fast you're going and your age. 5 pounds a week isn't giong to happen though...1 pound of body fat is worth 3500 calories...a 5 mile walk probably burns 600-700 calories...if you're running maybe more like 800...So without changing eating habits, you're looking at probably 1-2 pounds a week. If you lose more than that, it's going to be water weight.

You weigh 144 pounds. You burn 1440 calories each day just carrying your weight around. If you ate 800 calories per day or less (don't starve yourself) and drank plenty of water, you could loose the 24 pounds in 16 weeks. That excludes exercise. But, if you also work out for 15-30 minutes each day you should be able to achieve your goal. Remember though, just because you are working out doesn't mean that you will loose, you have to stay on your eating regiments. I know all this from personal experience. I weighed over 330 and now am down to 250 in less than a year from just changing my eating habits.

First, if you have foot problems you need to get off the treadmill and dedicate your aerobic exercise to a lower impact activity.  I suggest you switch over to cycling - much easier on the feet and knees.\n\nSecond, realize you're looking to lose, I think, an average of two pounds per week.  To sustain that kind of weight loss pace, I suggest working up to daily cycling of 60 minutes or more.  Buy or borrow a comfortable bike and start by riding 30 minutes a day - without fail.  Ride 15 minutes away from home, then turn around.  It should be easy.  Build up your duration and pace so you're riding for 60 minutes or more each day.  If you've been working out at the gym since March of this year, you should be able to accomplish this pretty quickly.\n\nSecond, you need to check that you've altered your diet to get rid of as much refined sugar and simple carbs as possible.  Sugar is easy to identify.  Simple carbs would include white bread, white rice, potatoes, pasta.  These carbs are quickly converted to sugar by the body, and stored as fat if not metabolized quickly.\n\nReplace with protein rich meat, fish, bean and tofu (if you like tofu).  Snack on cheese, nuts and fruit (easy on the fruit, too - lots of fructose).  And of course, heavy on daily water intake.\n\nHope that helps.  Best to you.

Treadmill always good to change things up:\n\n5 min.\n 3.0 mph - warm-up\n\n\n5 min.\n 3.5 - 4.5 - walk/slow jog\n\n\n1 min\n 5.0 - 5.5 - speed walk/run\n\n\n2 min\n 4.0 - 5.0 - walk/slow jog\n\n\n1 min\n 5.0 - 5.5 - speed walk/ run\n\n\n2 min 4.0 - 5.0 - walk/slow jog\n\n1 min\n 5.3 - 5.7 - speed walk/run\n\n \n2 min\n 4.0 - 5.0 - walk/ slow jog\n\n\n1 min Walk or run as fast as you can\n\n2 min 4.0 - 5.0 - walk/ slow jog\n\n5 min 3.0 - 4.0\n\nI'm not sure about the weight bench maybe some different workouts for abs, arms, legs such as:\n\nplacing your hands on the edge of the weight bench lower your body so it almost touches the floor and than lift up again. \n\nor lay on your stomach with your feet on the weight bench and do some push ups.\n\nSimple stuff like that with the weight bench might work.

lose weight !!! it depends. The best is to feel good in your shape. Evidently, a good light nutrition, healthy end exercise about 30 min every day is correct to lose weight.

Read my article on calorie consumption/calorie saving...here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweek.htm\nThere is probably about 400-600 calories in something like that...depends on the size and stuff, but I would have to run on the treadmill for about 50 minutes to burn that off...then I would still be back where I was.  If I DIDNT eat it, then the 400-600 calories that I burn on the treadmilll would be weight off my ass.  I lost 54 lbs...my before and after pic is on my site here http://www.healthandstrength.net \nI refuse to eat sugar and things that won't benefit my body...YES they are tastly, but really...you dont need it.  Eating them everyother day will most likely cause insulin insensitivity and eventually maybe diabetes.  Sugar is evil!  I treat it as the poison that it is. \nGood luck!

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.

lol. thats easy. buy a treadmill and walk/jog 2 to 4 miles  every weekend. or you can walk/jog 2 to 4 miles every weekend outside. outside will be harder so i suggest running on a treadmill for a month or so just to get the feel for it. eating is equally important if not most. try to eat things with lots of protein. Protein is essential for weight loss. be sure not to eat really fatty foods like McD or anything. Protein will fill you up so you arent as hungry during the day. But be sure not to starve yourself either!!!
