How can I lose weight in a week and a half?
I am a 14 year old girl and I want to lose weight on my stomach and thighs, before school starts again in a week and a half. Also I would like a toned tummy, but I don’t have access to a gym and I would like to lose the weight at home and by the way I can’t do sit ups or press ups.
Just eat healthily an do exercise. It’l soon come off. These crash course diets are usually rubbish or dangerous but if you do it properly you’l give yourself a chance of sticking to it and for it to stay off. And people will soon notice which will spur you on. Good luck!
How much running a week to lose weight?
What exactly did you do with your running to lose weight and how long did it take? What I mean is how long did you run a day and how many days a week?
It’s all a matter of calories. If you use more calories than you consume you lose weight.
To work out how many calories you will burn multiply the distance (km) by your weight (kg). It doesn’t make much difference on how fast or hard you go (believe it or not).
I think there are about 6000 calories in a kilo of fat (very roughly)..
So all you need to do is to run 6000 calories worth and you will lose a kilo, or whatever you want to lose.
This is very rough but hope it helps a bit

How many calories should I lose a week in order to lose weight?
I weigh about 128 and 5 ft 3 inches tall. I do cardio 3times a week. I would do 30 minute cardio for the two days and the third day would do an hour of cardio. If my calculations are correct, the total calories I burn is 1700 per week. I don’t watch my caloric intake although I do eat "healthy". My question is, is this enough calories to burn in order to lose weight? What do you think I should do to lose 5 more pounds?
Yup, I’ve read 3500 calories per pound is right. I don’t think doing twice as much exercise is the only or best answer though. Your body and metabolism have probably adjusted to your exercise level. But hey, good for you for leading a pretty healthy lifestyle already.
Try cutting out 100-200 calories a day (that could be just one less large soda, one serving of something starchy like rolls, potatoes or bread, etc); never eat after 7 pm; and add one more day of exercise. It could take 6-8 weeks, but those last 5 pounds should come off.
Also check out websites like hungry-girl and weight watchers for ideas on how to cut out a few extra calories. Good luck!
(Though ps – I agree with poster above. You are at a healthy weight for your height already!)
Why didnt i lose weight this week? last week of the month?
According to BMR calculators and other sites it says at my level of activity (1 hour 5 times a week) i would need 3700 calories just to maintain my weight. I’ve eaten no more than 2000, and have exercised an hour a day 5 times a week. This week is the only week i didnt lose anything. I did lose one inch off waist, but im not doing weights or anything.
Why didnt i lose my 2 pounds? What can i do next week to start losing weight again?
I could be because you are gaining muscle and loosing fat.. Hence the loosing an inch around your waist. Re do the calculators..go down 1 level of activity, it seems that you have over thought this.. Im me if you need help with it. You may need to lower your calories to loose more weight.
I don’t think you have hit a plateu, I think you are just thinking you are more active than you really are. It’s common to make that mistake, as the web sites don’t usually go down into detail what level of activities really are. The highest level is usually reserved for athletes that train for hours a day and take only maybe a day or two off.
