nicolealbutt20

has anyone or is anyone doing josie 30second slim. i have been doing the level one three times a week now, the session only lasts for 20mins.
Is that enough for me to loss weight along with a low calorie diet.
my plan is too move upto the level 2 as i get stronger so i would be doing level 1 and 2 three times a week but i am just not sure if thats going to be enough for me to loss weight.

Can someone please expalin how much excercise you have to do a week to start to loss weight.

As long as you are eating fewer calories than you use you should lose weight. If you have had mfp calculate target calories for you then eat at that number of calories plus however many you burn doing exercise and you will lose weight. You do not have to do any exercise to lose but
a) it makes you healthier
b) it makes you look better
c) it means you can eat more

i had restricted myself to eating 800calories a day. i know you should not do that but i have it in my head that if i eat less and burn off more then i will loss weight but by reading through some of the blogs i am begining to think i should be eating rda of 1200 but then how much excise do i need to do to loss weight.
im totaally confused on how much excercise i need to do to loss weight

This way of thinking is not safe or sustainable. Calculate your TDEE, subtract 15-20%, eat back some of your exercise calories especially as you get closer to goal, if you have little to weight to go or if you start doing 1000+ calorie workouts.

The vast majority of people need to eat at least 1200 calories net (so what you eat minus what you burn doing exercise). Eating only 800 calories on a daily basis isn't a great idea. You'll lose weight but you'll feel like crap and when you stop dieting your body will gain all the weight back even quicker.

I lost about 40lbs a few years back (in about 6 months) by eating around 1600 calories a day, doing 30 minutes low-level cardio (walking briskly or swimming leisurely) five times a week and doing a 45-60 minute body-weight strength training programme 3-4 times a week. I kept all of it off until I got an illness that had me bedridden for 4 months (when I gained back around 20lbs).

People will tell you that slow and steady wins the race, but it's true. If you lose weight slowly and sensibly whilst eating healthily and exercising, it's far more likely to stay off in the long term.
