how much weight can i lose in a month?

Question

how much weight can i lose in a month by walking/running on a treadmill 30 min everyday, and light weight lifting everyother day?
and is it better to exercise in the morning or afternoon?

Answer 1

You can safely lose 2 lbs a week. So 8 lbs.!
You really have to work hard at it though, especially with those last few "vanity" pounds that bring you to your ideal weight or a tad underweight.
It is best to exercise in the afternoon, that is when your energy is at it's peak and it will speed up your metabolism throughout the rest of the day. If you really want progress, try a whole hour everyday and combine with five lb. weight lifting 20 minutes every day.
But take one day off each week, say like Sunday or Monday.
If you do that, you would definately lose 10 lbs in a month, but you also have to cut your caloric intake and fat intake. YOu should always try to eat no more than 1400 calories, if you want really fast progress, no more than 1100-1200 calories a day.

Answer 2

Unless you are morbidly obese or under doctor supervision, don't try to lose more than 7-8 lbs.
Light weight lifting shouldn't really affect your weight unless you're getting ripped -- then you should remember that muscle is heavier than fat...if you're just going for a little tone, though, don't count on this.
If you are serious about losing weight with a treadmill, you'll have to start a running program and work up to running the entire 1/2 hour (longer is preferably, but not always possible, so just go for burning more calories) If you can lose 400 calories every other day and change nothing in your eating, you should be alright to lose about 5 lbs in a month.
When drinking, stick to water that is room temperature and stay clear of the alcohol (vodka straight if you must), sodas, fruit drinks and other sh!t.

Answer 4

It really depends on how much weight you have to lose and also if you plan on watching what you eat as well. If you don't usually do any type of exercise, then you can expect to lose at least 2lbs a week. It really just depends on your weight and diet too. I find that it's better for me to work out in the morning because it gives me more energy throughout the rest of the day.

Answer 5

Up your treadmill to an hour a day. The body starts to burn fat after 30 minutes. Drink lots of water. Change your diet thusly:

No sugar
No sodas
No candy
No chips
No potatoes
No pasta
No pizza
no corn
no bread

Good Luck

Answer 6

Hi,

I've been helping people stay healthy for a more than 20 years and I can tell you that losing weight requires a combination of both exercise and caloric restriction but with a proper nutrition balance.

The answer to your specific question is simply a matter of mathematics. It takes an expenditure or restriction of 3500 calories for the body to drop 1 pound of weight. So, in order to determine how many pounds your exercise program will allow you to lose (regardless of whether you do it in the morning, afternoon, or night), all you have to do is calculate how many calories your exercises are burning and then divide that number into 3500. So, if you're burning 500 a day, you'll lose about a pound a week (3500 divided by 500 = 7 days). You can go to this link to figure out how many calories you'll burn doing what you are currently doing: http://www.caloriecontrol.org/exercalc.html

Having said the above, if you want to lose weight in a healthy manner don't be in a rush and keep the following in mind:

1) Check with your physician to be certain that you are physically able to reduce your calories and increase your exercise habits safely.

2) Make certain that the calories you are eating are as balanced as possible. Finding out how much protein, carbs, and fats your body needs on a daily basis can really help keep your energy levels high all day long. The #1 reason my clients tell me that they've stopped dieting or exercising in the past is because of low energy ebbs. Splitting the amount of calories you can have per day into 5 - 6 smaller meals will help tremendously (this keeps your body fueled and ready to go and you also know that your next meal is only a couple of hours away).

If you need help selecting good foods I suggest you get either Sugar Busters or the Zone. Neither of these books have to be taken as gospel concerning weight loss but they do contain good advice that will help you make better food choices.

Knowing what your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is will certainly help you determine how to be calorie conscious. Also remember that you may or may not need supplements to help things along.

3) While exercising (before, during, and after) be sure to consume enough water. The key is not to be 'thirsty' (overtly) during this time of exercise.

4) Adding weight bearing exercise (i.e., lifting weights) will help to tone your body and the thermogenic (fat burning) effect will last long after you've stopped working out -- even if your workout is simply walking).

5) Remember that you'll probably hit plateaus (times when you'll stop losing weight) several times during your weight loss progress. This is completely normal and is only temporary but it can last for a couple of weeks at a time. It is very important to remember that even if your scale isn't showing progress, your entire body is being positively effected by your efforts.

6) Measure different parts of your body (neck, upper arms, lower arms, chest, abs, waist, belly, butt, thighs, etc.) and do it accurately. Write these measurements down and check them once every 2 weeks. This will help you remember that your body is 'reducing' all over -- not just in one particular area. If you're weight training you may actually notice a slight increase in some areas of your body (don't worry -- if you're a woman you won't start looking like a bodybuilder).

7) Keep focused on your end goal and concentrate on losing maybe 1 pound a week -- sometimes you'll lose more, sometimes less. As long as it's an average, it's okay.

8) Lastly, remember that attempting to lose weight if you are overweight is a WONDERFUL thing.

If you've just begun, keep up the good work. If you're about to begin, congrads!! I've worked with hundreds of people in the past 20 years (mostly women) who have lost (individually) HUNDREDS of pounds safely. Better still, they've kept it off -- Kay lost over 350 pounds and has been at her goal weight for 7 years now.

As for what to take (if anything), that depends entirely on what your body needs. Anyone who suggests that you take something that 'works for everyone' is either confused or deluded. For example, if you had a twin brother or sister your bodies could react completely different to certain supplements or foods on a metabolic level. If you want to learn more about what you might want to take and how to calculate your BMR, you can visit my site (below).

Of course there are several over-the-counter supplements that can help a person lose weight by either stimulating the burning of fat (these should be used sparingly if at all), by suppressing the appetite (supplements such as Dr. Bill's Choice Pure Hoodia, some Omega 3, 6, & 9 supplements, and a couple of others have been shown effective for this and they are non-stimulating), and by increasing the amount of brown adipose tissue (fat) that your body has available to use for energy (the exact supplement your body might need to do this would have to be determined case-by-case).

As a final note, if you are female, hormones could be an issue that might need to be addressed to facilitate weight loss. I work with a number of women (in the hundreds) who have found this to be the case.

If you have any questions about losing weight or about diet and supplementation, don't hesitate to write and ask.
