you are definately an inspiration Adis--i have 20-25 lbs to lose. did you exercise until you hit a certain # of calories/miles and how many did you do on average?
i am pretty out of shape so i have been working out until i burn approx. 300-350 cals. and i have no clue if thats a lot. i dont really understand the logic that you wont lose weight until you burn more cals than you put in through food...that would mean that i would have to work off 1500 cals a day? |
When I started I was just walking for half an hour at a decent pace. I was alot heavier so any exercise I did burned alot more calories than now. Now I run for 2.5 miles in 30 min. I burn about 250 calories, it feels like it should be more but it's b/c my weight has decreased that it's less. You do not have to burn 1500 calories a day in order to lose weight. You have to burn 3500 calories a week to lose one pound for most people. It's true the more calories you burn as opposed to take in will def. help in the weightloss. This website is really good

There you can calculate how much time it takes to lose one pound. Let me know if you have any other ???
