Answer 1

Successful weight loss and healthy weight management depend on sensible goals and expectations.

It is hard to predict that how much time will it take for you to loose weight it depends on a lot of factors. The only thing that can be said is it seems that you are pursueing the right course of action to loose weight.

Answer 2

You're off to a great start! I might suggest that you add strength training (i.e. weights) to your routine 3-4 times a week. That builds muscle and helps streamline your shape (you won't bulk up). If you don't know how, ask a trainer at a local gym or the gym teacher at your school to get you started on a basic routine.

I don't know how long it'll take you to weigh 115. While losses are usually bigger at the beginning, you should NOT lose more than 1-2 pounds a week after you've settled into your weight loss routine. Any more than that and your body freaks out and goes into starvation mode, which makes taking weight off that much harder. Also, it's more difficult to maintain a loss if you take it off very quickly. You may hit a plateau (where you're doing everything right and the scale doesn't budge). Be patient; play with your diet and exercise plans a little bit (more good fat? less salt? different intensity/type of workout?) and that often helps.

Try not to weigh yourself more than once a week. Focus on how you feel instead of the numbers on the scale: how your clothes fit, how much energy you have, how much more flexible you've become, etc. You're probably noticing changes already! :) Take your time (I know it's hard to be patient) and be good to yourself, both mentally and physically. Good luck!

I have not tried that kind of exercise. But you must shift to this one......So as to lose weight, all you got to do is simply drink more water... 12 to 15 glasses of water a day. Then, NO to carbonated drinks, spicy, salty, fatty and nutty food. Also, do not eat chocolates, sweets and food with preservatives. EAT MORE VEGETABLES AND FRUITS. This kind of diet is priceless!
I lose weight from 75 kilos to 62 kilos in 3 months. At present, I simply maintain my weight up to 65 kilos only.
Hope this will help you. Have a nice day and take care :)

Answer 4

try more cardiovascular exercise besides the stationary bike. and i suggest that you eat 5 smaller meals than 3 big meals and
dont drink soda. Walk more and try to take vit c supplement everymorning cause this increases calorie burn by 39% during workouts. also, having 2 servings of clear soup a day helps you lose weight. Having eggs for breakfast are good too because they reduce the calorie intake for the rest of the day.

If you do this you can lose a LOT within 2 months
