3,500 calories = one pound.  If you burn 3,500 calories, you will lose a pound in caloric energie, but depending on what type of exercise, you might not lose exactly a pound due to increased muscle mass.  For fat burning, you want to do things like walk instead of run, because running is a cardivascular exercise, and gets your heart rate going, but walking is better for fat burning because your heart doesn't have to work as hard and you will be in the "fat burning zone"

It varies from person to person, people do not lose at the same rate. the first week is usually a 3-6 pound weight loss and then 1-2 pounds a week.  Sometime more sometimes less, all people have different metabolisms and it depends also on how much activity or exercise you do it's a healthy program, go to a meeting and see.

There is no way to reduce fat in a certain area of the body (called spot reduction). To lose weight you need to burn more calories than you burn. \n\nTo lose 1lb you need to burn 3500 calories per week. That means 250 calories a day through exercise and 250 calories a day reduction in food intake. \n\nYou can find out how many calories you need to maintain your weight by using the BMR formula at www.caloriesperhour.com. Once you find out your BMR (basal metabolic rate) you can figure reduce that by 500 - 1000 calories per day to burn 1-2 pounds safely in a weeks period. \n\nI recommend strength training to go with any regular exercise program so that you also reduce INCHES which can show a flatter belly, tighter abs, and tighter thighs and butt.\n\nBest of luck to you!

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.

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!

3,000 calories are in a pound..so it all depends on how many calories you burn for what exercise you are doing. say you burn 6,000 calories (which is almost impossible for 8 hours) you would lose 2 pounds. but dont forget you are going to eat at some point during the day and that will put some of the calories you burned off back on. I'd say that the mose weight some could lose in one day (or 8 hours) would be about 1..maybe a little more maybe a little less.  Hope this helps

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.

It takes a calorie defecit of 3,500 calories to lose one pound of fat.  Your body needs 2,000 calories a day (approximately) to maintain your current weight.  So if you scaled back calories, lets say to 1,500 a day, in one week you would lose exactly one pound.  It's not easy, it's not quick, but it is guaranteed to work time and time again.  There are no shortcuts, although excercise will help you to lose weight by burning off additional calories, helping you reach your 3,500 defecit quicker.

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.

The calories needed to lose weight varies from person to person. It is affected by your current weight and your level of activity.  Many people, including me,  would gain weight on 3000 calories a day!  The average person needs 2000-2500 calories to maintain their current weight.  Use this site to see how many calories you need daily to stay the weight that you are.  http://www.inch-aweigh.com/dcn.php\n\nThen, if you want to lose, you must take in at least 300 calories less per day.\n\nMost doctors recommend a calorie intake of 1200 to 1500 calories a day for those that want to lose weight.  I have a wonderful diet that is easy to use and follow (no measuring and no counting calories involved).  If you would like it, please email and I will send it to you.  It is based on nutrisystem and jenny craig but without the expense...you do it all on your own.  It includes all the basic food groups and so is also very healthy.  It is based on 1250 calories.  I have already shared it with a few others here at yahoo answers.

You are not likely to lose much weight without exercizing.  You need to burn 3500 calories to burn a pound of fat.  It's not about how lmuch or how little fat you eat.  You could be eating no fat, but if you're eating 4000 calories a day, you're going to gain weight.  It's about watching your calorie intake and making sure you're exercising.

It depends on your body compitison. One pound of Muscle burns more calories that one pound of fat. The more muscle you have the more calories you will burn in a day.  The average 150 lb person burns about 1650 calories a day. But it depends on your activites and body compisition so it can vary greatly. Try using an online calculator to check for your self.

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.

It all depends on your weight and the calories your body needs to function.  Remember that 1 pound = 3500 calories.  So if your only taking in 1000 calories a day and exercising (may I suggest maybe running or aerobics rather than jumping rope) it should only take a month or so.

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.

First, try to set a more realistic goal. That's a lot of weight to lose in a short time, even with major diet modification, and would probably be unhealthy.\n\nBurning an additional 250 calories per day by getting more exercise, and removing 250 calories per day from your food intake will enable you to lose an average of 1 pound per week.\n\n"Slow and steady wins the race."
