Well 5 pounds in 4 weeks is reasonable weight loss so this is doable BUT when you lose weight you can NOT spot reduce. So in other words you may lose 5 lbs but it is usually over your entire body not in one area. You may need to lose more inorder to get your butt and thighs into the shape you wish. Running and stairs tend ot burn the most calories if you can do those. Work to you max intensity for those 40 minutes. Ideally you should work in you heart rate zone 70-80% of your max heart rate. Do the other 20 at least at walking. It would help to do some resistance training, (weights) is you can. Do a cicuit on machines. If no weights then do things such as lunges, squats, leg extensions with a added contraction at the top. GOOD LUCK

I have been told by many different sources that it is only safe to lose 0.5 - 1kg a week. Any more than that and you risk putting it back on again when you stop the diet you are on.\n\nYou could always do like they do on the biggest loser and give up their lives to exercise. Get yourself a personal trainer and a gym membership and sweat like a maniac for 6 weeks. Make sure you are eating the correct foods as well. If you are taking in more energy (calories) than you are using (exercise) then you will not lose weight. You want to make it so that your body uses up all the calories you have eaten and has to use the energy you have stored as fat in your body.\nGood luck

You definitely don't want to do it fast.  1 to 2 pounds per week is recommended by a doctor.  If you lose more than that, you are prone to problems, and also, what many people don't know is that, if you lose weight too quickly, it actually ages you.  I know a guy who dropped like 30 pounds in a month, and he looks terrible.  He aged like 20 years.  Do it the right way.  You'll feel better too.

Start Jogging everyday for at least half an hour. And walk as much as you can in a day.\n\nAlso eat healthy. I am sure within two months you will lose 6kgs. Maybe more. All the best!!

This can easily be done.  It's only 1 pound per week that you have to focus on.\n\nFirst find out how many calories you burn on a daily basis through your BMR and AMR calculation. \n\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtool...\n\nThat gives you a starting point based on how many calories you should eat a day to lose weight. Combine a good diet, lean meats, no carbs after 6pm, only complex carbs before 6pm, plenty of veggies with a diligent exercise regimen of strength conditioning and aerobic exercise (at least 3-4 times per week) and you have your answer. \n\nTrack you progress daily or weekly to ensure you are losing at least 1 pound per week.  If you're not, increase your physical activity levels to 5-6 times per week and make sure your diet is clean, including no packaged, canned or preserved foods.\n\nThis however takes an incredible amount discipline. I suggest seeking a qualified strength and conditioning specialist in your area to meet your goals.

Depends on how much. If it is just like 10 or 15 lbs you can cut back on calories and exercise more and you will lose at least 10 lbs in 6weeks

1. A safe level and effective level of weight loss that is about 1-2 pounds per week.. More than that could be unhealthy is is usually not lasting. Look to make lasting changes in your diet and lifestyle, then you will keep the weight off.  \n2. The only way to lose weight is to take in fewer calories that you burn. There is no secret to it. You can do this by dieting to lower your calorie intake, exercise to increase it, or a combination of both. Depending on your current activity level, even adding some walking into the schedule can help.\n3.  Muscle weighs more than fat but is more compact.  Adding muscle may make you look slimmer, and the muscle burns more calories at rest than fat so it can keep you slimmer.\n4. There are many effective diet programs that you can follow on your own or join. These programs do a few things: they can help educate you on proper nutrition; they help you control portions and calorie intake; and, they usually require you to keep a record of your eating behavior. Find one that is comfortable for you if you think it will help, or do it on your own.\n5. Writing down everything you eat over a few days can be very helpful in terms of identifying your problem areas.\n6 There are some helpul resources available from the US Government, including suggested diet and a calorie tracker that allows you to evaluate your food intake for calories and nutrients, and compare it to the calories that you burn through daily activities. I have some articles on my website as well. Links are shown below. \nGood luck!

Correct me if I am wrong, but 1 pound = 2.4 kilos.  You want to lose 2 pounds in a week.\n\nThat is safe and very healthy, considering you didn't tell your age, current weight, gender, location or anything else that would help us give you a good answer.\n\nRun outside, at a slow pace, for 30 minutes every day.  Do not walk.  If you feel like you are losing your breath, or getting winded (can't speak normally), slow down.  DON'T walk!

6 months is plenty of time :) Don't worry. \n\n5 small meals a day instead of 3 large. Nothing but fruit and fruit juice until midday. And try not to eat later that 2 hours before you retire for the evening. Try to have your meals after midday consisting of at least 50% vegetables. \n\n30 minutes of aerobic exercise each day, even if it's only walking at a pace faster than you ordinarily walk. As long as it increases your heartrate. \n\nAnd 2 litres of water each day. \n\nGuaranteed to shed the pounds.\n\nGood luck, congratulations and have a great day!

techniaccly speaking to lose 10kg in a week is really un healthy.  u'd have to pratically starve urself becuase of the amount of calories that u take in.  in one week you could not lose 10kg maybe in 2-3 weeks and thats with regular heart pumping excercise and a healthy diet and by excercise i'm talking at lest 60minutes a day or maybe more

This is a good realistic goal. 1 to 2 pounds a week is something you can accomplish with healthy eating and regular exercise.\n\nTry to get 30 minutes of cardio 5 times a week.\n\nAs far as diet is concerned, don't drop your calorie intake by too much, 500 calories a day less at the very most. Just try to take in as much lean protein as possible and the least amount of fat.\n\nYou should be able to lose 10-15 pounds inside of 60 days with a plan like this.

It is not healthy to lose that much weight that fast. You should only lose 1 to 2 pounds a weeks.

It's only alright to loose 6lbs in the first or second week of dieting. This is when you loose your water weight... after that, the maximum you should loose a week and still be healthy is 2lbs. The best way to loose weight is to eat healthily. Never eat hydrogenated oils, enriched flour, high-fructose corn syrup, or saturated-fats (like lard). Don't drink soda (diet is just as bad as regular), donuts, fries, etc. Cut red meat out of your diet. It's not good for you. Eat FISH. Especially Salmon. It's high in omega-3's. And, contrary to popular belief, you need fat to burn fat. You just need the right KIND of fat. Eat whole grains. Drink a LOT of water and Green Tea. Also, eat only fresh foods. Canned and Frozen stuff have a lot of sodium... which causes bloating. Eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables.\n\nAnd walk a LOT.

It's best to aim for 1 - 2 pounds of weight loss each week, so that would be 10 - 20 weeks to lose 20 pounds.
