how many pounds will i shed a week by running 5 to 6 days per week?

Answer 1

that depends on how much you weigh now....if you weigh more then you will probably loose more. Running doesn't just make you loose weight though....when you are careful (stretch, warm-up, don't push yourself too hard) it can only make you healthier.

Answer 2

Figure 3500 cal/pound of fat and 150 calories burned for every hour of running.

3500 / 150 = 23.3 hours of running to loose one pound of fat.

Most successful weight loss programs include exercise and diet.

To loose weight: eat a balanced diet, eat less, and exercise more.
To keep the weight off, you should loose about 1 pound per week.
Spot reducing (e.g. from waist or thighs) does not work.

Answer 3

No one can answer that because we don't know your body, what you eat, how much you have to lose, etc.

You need to change your diet to a healthy one, drink lots of water and exercise. Running isn't always the best exercise. Studies showed that fast walking was better on the body and you can lose weight and tone up.
