In general, you have to have a calorie deficit of 3500 calories to lose a \npound of weight.  This deficit can be produced by eating fewer calories, by \nusing more calories (being more active), or a combination of the two.  \nCertainly, the easiest way to do this is by eating about 250 calories less \na day and exercising about 250 calories more a day to lose about 1 pound a \nweek.  Given that it takes about 3500 calories to lose a pound of weight \nand that the average calorie need for most of us is about 2000 calories a \nday, it stands to reason that losing more than a couple of pounds a week is \nmathematically impossible.

I have to disagree with the previous posts.\nIn 1/2 an hour, you'll burn around 300 + calories because an increase in temperature (112 - 116 degrees) over your normal body temp causes fat cells to liquify and excrete out with your sweat.  Your body burns calories just trying to keep your normal body temp!

Weight and calories are two different things.\n\nFor example, one pound of fat contains 4,081 (kilo) calories but one pound of sugar contains only 1,814 (kilo) calories.  Compare this to one pound of water which has no calories.\n\nThe calories you burn come from the food that you eat - if you eat one pound of food and perform enough exercise to burn off the calories in that one pound of food you will have neither gained or lost weight.\n\nTo look at it another way, you would need to be engaged in about 2 to 3 hours of intense physical exercise or about 6 to 10 hours of moderate exercise to loose one pound - that's assuming that you don't compensate for the energy used by over eating.

My coworker is also a personal trainer, and he says 3500 calories is equal to one pound of fat. So if you burn 3500 more calories than you take in, you'll lose a pound. This isn't perfect however, because you don't just lose fat when you exercise -- you lose water, and sometimes gain or lose muscle.

Losing weight help\n\nlose weight fastWe get weight by eating extra calories and incorrect amount of macronutrients. There are two ways by which we can lose weight.\n\n\n    * Eating less\n\n    * Exercising more\n\n\nYou know\n1 gram of protein = 4 calories\n1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 calories\n1 gram of fat = 9 calories\n1 pound of fat = 454 gram\nSo 1 pound of fat = 9*454 = 4086 calories\n\nNote: Our body fat contains around 3500 calories, as 10% of it is water.\nSo in order to lose a pound of fat (4086) in 2 weeks, we need to decrease calories consumption by 290 per day as 4096/14=290(approx)\n\n15 minute of good exercise will help you in losing around 100 calories. So in order to lose 1 pound of fat in two weeks, we need to exercise for around 45 minutes (290 calories) if we do not want to make any changing in our eating habit. So just take care of the amount of calories in the food you take. The best idea for losing weight will be by cutting down the junk food with exercising. So greatest way to lose weight is a mixture of diet and exercise as exercise builds muscles, and bigger muscles burn more fat.

It depends on your height, weight, age, and sex.  There are several online calculators that ascertain your particular basal metabolic rate, or how many calories YOU burn in a day.  Once you find that out, you can use that number to lose weight by creating a calorie deficit by eating x number less than your bmr and/or burning them off through exercise.\nHere is a link to a metabolic calculator-\nhttp://www.internetfitness.com/calculators/bmr.htm\n3500 calories equals a pound.  Consume 3500 more than you need/burn, you will gain one pound.  Consume/Burn 3500 less than you need, you will lose one pound.  Aim for 500 to 1000 calories less than your bmr to lose 1-2 pounds per week.  Any added exercise can only increase the results, so exercise away.

Each mile you run burns approximately 100 calories.  You need to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound.  So that's about 35 miles x 15 pounds or 525 miles.  If you run 25 miles per week, that's 21 weeks to lose 15 pounds.  That's just with pure running.  If you are also changing your eating habits, you should lose a bit quicker.

Depends on your age, gender and personal and family health history.  Cut back at least 500 calories a day from what you are eating now and add some exercise.  One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories, so in 7 days, you'll lose 1 lb, just by eating less.  If you add exercise on top of that, you should be able to lose up to 3 lbs or so a week.

It's a simple formula.  Every 3500 calories equals 1 pound.  You decide how you want to get rid of it- diet, exercise or whatever (a combination is best), but you'll need to get rid of 3500 calories to lose 1 pound of fat in a week.\n\nJust eat healthy, and less quantity, but 5 small meals & snacks per day... and dont forget to drink lots of water throughout the day- you dont have to call it a "diet"

Typically you should have at least 1500 calories in order to lose weight. Remember , you must eat to lose weight. And this is my assuming you are a woman. For a man I think it is 2000.

forget about dieting. just have good nutrition habits...and start exercising!\n\nIt's calories in vs. calories out. a pound of weight is approx. 3500 cals. If you burn that much in exercise per week you'll lose weight.

If you are trying to lose fat, you want both a low fat and low cal diet. Don't count on losing weight if you exercise though because you are likly to put on more pounds than you lose. \n\nIt takes around 500 calories to burn off one pound of fat, but fat is the last reserve of your body, so it takes a lot to get to it. \n\nTo get an estimate of how much you burn each day, consider that if you did nothing but sit, with some minimal walking, you would burn about 2000 calories. If you do the same thing, except for getting about 2 hours of heavy exercise, you'll burn about 3000 calories. You need about 2500 calories a day to avoid being hungery and to stay healthy.\n\nSo, a smart diet (around 2500 calories), and more than an hour of exercise daily, and you should slowly start seeing a difference. Don't expect it to go fast though. It takes about 3 months for your body to adjust to major changes in diet and exercise, and get to peak preformance.

Walking even a hour day will only burn about 250 calories and since you are already weighing 115, you probable need around 1800 calories/day just to function (depends also on your activity level outside of walking). That being so, you would only be burning about 500 calories/day with the eating and exercise combo which means you would lose 1 pound per week. You need to burn an extra 3500 calories for each pound you want to lose but no more than 2-3 pounds per week.  Try to add some harder cardio and weight traning in there to burn calories faster but at your current weight, 1 pound/week is pretty safe.

3500 Calories equal one pound.\nTo give you an idea on what it would take to burn that, you would have to run for 3 hours at 10 miles per hour.

To lose one pound, you have to burn 3,500 calories. Sound tough? Not if you break it down. To lose a pound a week, do an hour each day of any activity that burns an extra 500 calories.\n\nThe number of calories you'll burn during exercise is affected by your body weight, the intensity of your workout, your conditioning level, and metabolism, so burn rates are only an estimate. But here are ten activities that blast about 500 calories per hour, based on the weight of a 130-pound woman.\n    *\n\n      Rowing (vigorous effort): 502\n    *\n\n      Running 5.2 mph (11.5 minute mile): 531\n    *\n\n      Ice skating 9 mph: 531\n    *\n\n      Kickboxing: 590\n    *\n\n      Rock climbing (ascending): 649\n    *\n\n      Cross-country skiing (vigorous effort): 531\n    *\n\n      Swimming laps freestyle (vigorous effort): 590\n    *\n\n      Bicycling 14 - 15.9 mph (vigorous effort): 590\n    *\n\n      Walking up stairs: 472\n    *\n\n      Running up stairs: 885
