How much weight would this person lose?

Technically, you lose a pound after burning off 3,500 calories. At the rate you are suggesting, you would have burnt 400 more calories a day than you put into your body. You would *technically* lose a pound every 8.75 days. I don't know how much you weigh so I can't tell you how many calories you need to eat/not eat to lose weight. Starving yourself and working out like crazy isn't a healthy way to lose weight because eventually your body will go into "feast or famine" mode and you will stop losing weight to conserve what you do have left. Our bodies are great that way. You can lose a lot of weight at first but it isn't the kind of weight that will stay off (mostly water weight and muscle weight) once you start exercising and eating regularly. You can't starve yourself forever. Eat a healthy, balanced diet and it should fall into place for you.\n\nThe best way to lose weight is to gradually "trick" your body into getting by on less. If you stay with 1,200 calories a day, and you need to eat 2,000 to maintain your current weight, then that is 800 calories that you are burning daily, just by eating less. Add some moderate exercize that burns 300-500 calories a day and you will have burnt about 1,300 calories, just by living and being healthy. You should lose about a pound or two a week on this schedule, doing it sensibly and without starvation.\n\nRemember also that heavy exercise increases muscle mass, and that muscle mass adds poundage to you. That's good. You burn more calories with muscle than you do with fat. I wouldn't get so hung up on the numbers on the scale as I would with how clothes are fitting, what your friends are saying, etc. If you look good to your friends, and you feel okay inside about how you look, then it's a good weight. If you find yourself thinking you're unhealthy even though you're at a healthy weight, I'd seek some professional help.

Depends on her height.  Using the current Body Mass Index would be helpful, but you must know the person's height.

Doug:  The key to weight loss is simply this:  A pound of fat is 3,500 calories.  You need approximately 2,000-2,500 calories/ day to maintain your weight.  If you run four miles a day, you are burning about 500 calories.  So, in order to lose weight, you must reduce your caloric intake to about 1,000/day.  You will then burn 2000 calories/day (so long as you do your 4 miles)..and the weight will burn off of you rather quickly.  Do not starve yourself.  After 72 hours of starvation, your metabolism will stop dead in its tracks..your body will think that you are starving and you won't burn anything.  Drink alot of water.  Beleive it or not, alot of your stomach size could be due to water retention.  Up your water intake to at least a gallon per day and your body will not store any water.  Since muscle is 70% water and fat is 20% water, you will know that you are burning fat rather than lean muscle if you are properly hydrated.  Good luck!

Losing 28 pounds safely and permanently should take at least 3 months (2 pounds/week), and VERY few people can do that without gaining it back. That would be a very unusual pace. \n\nMore common is the 1 pound/week pace, which puts 28 pounds at about 6 months. \n\nOf course, all this depends on how overweight you are. If they're your LAST 28 pounds, it's much more difficult that the first 28 pounds. \n\nBe patient. Do it right. Diet and exercise.

That's alot to eat for anyone....it takes 3500 calories to gain a pound. Now you would have to take the amount of calories you have burnt all day and subtract it from the 10,000...whatever is left over is going to go towards gaining.....

the amount and rapidity of weight loss depends on a number of variables including the technique, other things would include diet, intensity and duration of exercise in a day etc, it would be hard to compare ones self to others, good luck

My friend lost about 70 in that amount of time, but she was seriously stressed out (ended a long term relationship) and it was from the stress.  She has maintained the loss though and looks great.  She weighs about 120 now.

Human fat tissue contains about 87% lipids, which store about 9 kcal/g energy. Therefore, to lose 1 kg of body-fat tissue, the energy of about 870 g pure fat has to be used up, which corresponds to about 7800 kcal (32 MJ), that is one has to create a −7800 kcal deficit between energy intake and use. (In U.S. customary units, that is about 3500 kcal per pound.) \n\nTherefore  3Kg X 32 MJ/Kg X 1 s/103J X 1 hr/3600s = \n\n258.9 hours (assuming you are losing 3 Kg of body mass not water weight)

it depends how large you currently are. if your 600lbs, very minimal excersice and minimal calorie reductions would create great weight loss.\n\nbut if your 5-5, 145. 200 calories isnt enough, unless you stepped up your work our routine, like started runnning 3 miles a day.

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

Tell her she needs to lose a few pounds.

Very very possible. \nLower your calorie intake, and keep track of what you eat on sites such as http://calorie-count.com. \nExcersize at least 3-4 times a week. You don't really have to excersize more than 30 minutes a day...\nYou can do it. \nIt's not a lot of weight to lose in such time.

If you can burn about 500 calories per day (and don't eat more to compensate), you can lose 1 pound per week.

That all depends on how fast you lose the weight. If you lose at the rate of 1-2 pounds per week and exercise in the process, the skin will have time to adapt to the fat loss and will reshape around the body's changes. If you drop too much too quickly, you may be left with hanging skin as well as the likelihood of gaining all of the weight back.
