Can I loose weight walking on the treadmill??

Walk however long you want on the treadmill. Eat enough to support your activity level, but still et a deficit. Weight loss comes from eating less than you use. I'd also definitely add in strength training.

Yes, you will lose weight that way. I track my calories every day and walk enough to burn them off. Walking is the only thing I do, so you'll be fine Just have to keep at it.

I'm so sorry to hear about your baby, OP. So hard.

Walking is great exercise. Also count your calories. I use a food scale so I can be as accurate as possible.

10,000 Steps is a magical number when combined with a proper diet. 10,000 steps is roughly 5 miles. You might have to build up to that over a period of a few weeks. But walking and using this website (myfitnesspal) can help you just as it has for me.

Bull. There is no magical number of anything. Burn more calories than you eat (within reason) and you'll lose weight. It doesn't matter if you burn those calories walking or running or training seals. You may need additional exercise to get you to your ultimate goal, but walking is a great start.

I've lost the majority of my weight by using a treadmill. I started off slow, built myself up in speed and in incline. I like walking, I find it therapeutic. I've also added in bike riding and I do yoga for variety. Exercise doesn't have to be strenuous. Just focus on getting your heart rate up and keep challenging yourself. Good luck!

Hi there - I am so confused about this calories in calories out thing. Eating your calories. calorie deficits etc.

This is just the basics. Here are the theroies behind the science. Your body requires a certain number of calories in a day just to stay alive and barely run your basic organ functions. We call this your BMR (or Basal Metabolic Rate ). Basically, if you were in a comma, this is what the doctors would be feeding you in terms of number of calories via an IV or feeding tube per day. Obviously, you are doing more than just laying around and just breathing. You get up, you brush your teeth (maybe), you walk to your car, you do things all day long, ect. All of this requires more energy in terms of calories. When all said in done, your body will require a certain amount of calories to do what you normally do all day long. We call this your TDEE (or Total Daily Energy Expenditure). If you ate exactly this amount, then your weight will be maintained. Reason why we call it also your maintenance calories. If you want to loose weight, then you eat below this (this is what we call a calorie deficit). If you want to gain weight, you eat more than this. Everyone's BMR and TDEE is different. There are calculators that attempt to calculate this based upon your sex (m or f), age, height, current weight, and basic catagories of your daily activity lifestyle. They are a good starting point but not perfect. But that is the basic theory. it can be more complicated than that when you try and analyze what types of micros (proteins, fats, carbs) and their calorie value have an effect on your energy levels and tissue building and other basic functions that your body does. The basic theory is, if you don't eat enough calories in food in a day, then your body will go through a process to meet those calories from stored fat which equals weight loss. There is also a risk of taking energy from lean muscle mass (such as muscle tissue). Reason why people emphasize exercise and weight training while on a weight loss program. But that is the idea behind calories in and calories out.

What is a healthy calorie goal to have? I am 150 pounds which is very high for me. I was pregnant and lost the baby at 3 months. I cant seem to get the weight off which is upsetting. Im usually aroung 141. I am 5'7".

You plug this information into mfp, combined with your weight loss goals and mfp will suggest how many calories you should be eating each day to achieve this weight loss. It goes by the basic claorie deficit. Whatever calculator figures out your TDEE, then you subtract 500 per pound you want to loose a week. Theory behind this is 500 calories in deficit per day for a week (which is 7 days) comes to 3500 calories which is what scientists say is how much energy is in 1 lb of fat in your body.

How long should I be going on the treadmill for and what should i be eating to loose some pounds??

Exercise on top of calorie deficit = bigger calorie deficit. The accepted rule of thumb around here is, don't try to loose more than 2 lbs a week. or try to stay within a calorie deficit of 1000 cals per day from your TDEE. So if you exercise more, than you can eat more.

Exercise also increases fitness and improves your cardo vasicular. So if you have fitness goals on top of weight loss goals, that can play in also.
