WHAT IS HER BMI? USING THE BMI INDEX STATE WHAT IS HER HEALTH RISK?
HER WAIST MEASURES 42 INCHES WHAT DOES THIS IMPLY?
CINDY HAS STARTED TO DIET
SHE USED TO EAT 2100 KCAL/DAY
SHE NOW HAS CUT HER DAILY CALORIES BY 500 KCAL/DAY
SHE HAS STARTED TO USE THE TREADMILL AT A LOCAL YMCA. SHE BURNS 500 KCAL ON THE TREAD MILL/DAY
AFTER 1 MONTH HOW MANY POUNDS DO YOU CALCULATE CINDY COULD LOSE? PLEASE SHOW YOUR CALCULATION.
WHAT WOULD BE HER WEIGHT IN POUNDS IN ONE MONTH?
AFTER SIX MONTH SHE CONTINUES TO CUT 500 KCAL/DAY, EXERCISE AND BURN 500 KCAL BY USING A TREAD MILL.
WHAT WOULD BE HER WEIGHT IN POUNDS AFTER 6 MONTHS? USE HER INITIAL WEIGHT 158 POUNDS TO COMPUTE HER LOSS OF WEIGHT AFTER SIX MONTH.

I realized that I burn way more calories in the elliptical (about 2x more!), BUT I feel I get more of a work out (meaning that I feel I have to work harder) on the treadmill. So which would be better for weight loss, the one that burns more calories or The one which my work out is harder but I burn less calories.
BTW: When I’m on the tread mill I go for about 30 min on speed 3.5 with short sprints here and there

I have been exercising 3 X a week for 30 – 60 minutes on a treadmill & burning 300 – 400 calories. I have been walking with weights too on the tread mill quite heavy ones but I am not noticing any change in 4 weeks. In fact when I weighed in it looked like I might be an oz heavier. I weighed myself on an electronic scale last time would this have made a difference?
I am thinking to just diet instead as the exercise is not only killing me but I am not seeing any results.
n.b. I am holding hand wieghts while I walk.

I’ve been going to the gym for about 3 weeks, when I use the tread mill, it has a ideal heart rate of 118-126 for weight loss. If I stay in this range, I don’t necessarily break a serious sweat. I actually need to crank up to about 130+ to get a sweat going.
Also, I’m just speed walking in the weight loss range…..
FYI- I burn -300-600 calories depending on what weight routine I’m doing for the day.
Lost 15 pounds so far….

I want to lose 40-50 lb. within the next 5 months and KEEP it off. But, I want to do it without starving myself or puking in the toilet, because if I want to keep it off for life, starving myself ISNOT an option!
Is there a free, helpful weight loss site where I can track my calories, progress, get healthy meal plans and excersises, and get tips and support? All help is appreciated. (: Thanks!
