People who are already fairly lean cannot lose weight quickly without burning away muscle. That's just the physics of it all.
Weight is just a number on the scale - what is your *real* goal? Something you see in the mirror? A clothing size? A shape? What?0 -

That is a very real goal and a safe one... I tell the people I train that 1 to 1 1/2 pounds per week... That's if there is at least 15 plus pounds to lose... Is very doable.0 -

On what basis did you conclude 1-1.5 pounds per week is advisable for someone with just 15 pounds to lose?
Also, on what basis do you believe OP has even 15 pounds to lose?0 -

Did you even read the thread? Because if you did you need to stop handing out advice. If you didn't, you should probably go do that before dispensing with advice that is pure crap.0 -

Of course, doing this every day would be boring as hell.
Depending on weight. At the OP's current weight, it won't come close. She wouldn't net 1000 calories from running ten miles. To net 1000 calories for ten miles of walking requires a person at about 333 pounds ... if you base it on MET or Runner's World studies.Alisons_goal wrote: »How about if I try to lose 7 pounds by May 17th?

Ummmm ... no. I honestly hope nobody pays you for such bad advice.0 -

You've gotten some good advice in this thread. If you truly are only eating 1,200 calories, doing lots of exercise, whether it be walking or something else, won't be sustainable for very long. I would imagine by 8 weeks, if you stuck to a healthy diet with moderate exercise you would be looking at a loss between 3-8lbs.0 -
I hit the treadmill incline 6° and I run 6.5 to 7 mph for 3 to 4 minutes then I slowdown 5.5 to 6 mi./for 3 to 4 minutes this normally gets me at least 900 cal burned.0

For 6-8 minutes? 900 calories?
I'm not quite sure that is accurate.0 -

No, it doesn't.
There isn't a human alive - or that ever lived - that can burn 900 calories in 8 minutes.
Not even remotely physically possible.0 -

It's amazing how mean people are on this site that is supposed to support each other. I'm not going to quote anyone, not on this thread or any other, but what is your problem? Why do you have to be mean instead of nice and informative? I don't get it.0

You clearly are mistaking being blunt with being mean, no one here has been mean at all. You've been far ruder to me in this post than anyone else has been...
"You must be really young! Anyone over the age of 30 would know that's a picture from years before I was even born. Besides, I'm not looking for 1,000 calorie burns. I'm very happy with 5-600 a day"
You got all huffy and presumptuous when I wasn't even talking about you. So you might want to walk back your white knighting about "mean people" before it bites your butt.

I realize that you can't always tell tone from a post but I think maybe, just maybe, you are reading too much into posts.0 -

In 4 years here, my experience has been that more often than not the rudest people in the thread are those complaining of others' rudeness.0 -
A 10 mile fast walk easily burns 1,000 calories for me, and I regularly burn up to 2,000 per day. A few things I like about walking: it's free (no gym membership required), I get to be outdoors, it's low impact, walking fast has increased my cardio fitness, and I can think and unwind while I walk.

Why are you always complaining in every single thread that people are mean?

I just read this whole thread. I guess I somehow missed the mean parts? I didn't see them.
All of the information was good though. And the helpfulness. And advice from a lot of people who know what they are talking about. I saw all of those things.

There is nothing "easy" about two hours on a stationary bike.
It's also highly unlikely someone could burn 500/hr on an exercise bike for that long.
In fact, your stationary bike recommendation sounds like some pretty terrible advise...
...and given the later revelations in the thread, any suggestion of how OP could go about this would have been inappropriate.
If only you would have had the courage to ask her why she wanted to before providing your response. Fortunately, someone else here was...even you did call him out for it.
Just as walking ten miles (which burns about 100 calories a mile) is easily done. IF you have the time. My stationary bike is similar to an elliptical; your arms move along with your legs. It works whether you only use your arms or legs, or both together. Except you get to sit instead of stand, which reduces pressure on the knees. It does not, however, do anything else, such as add stress or inclines.
I didn't say it was "easy" being on a stationary bike for two hours; I said that if it was done, it would "easily burn" 1,000 calories. Walking ten miles isn't "easy" either, but it does burn about 1,000 calories depending upon what you weigh.
The OP asked a question, and I and a few other people answered it without judgment.
I think you mistook concern for judgement. OP is very young, lean to start with and is looking for ways to burn a drastic amount of calories. These are very concerning points and are the exact reason why people questioned why she is trying to burn so many calories.
I also agree, 1000 calories in 2 hours on a stationary bike is unlikely especially if you aren't increasing tension. It is also very mentally tough to do.
She needs to be talking to her doctor, not a bunch of people on a weight-control website. You've had quite a few posts here, so you've been around the block a few times. Do people who ask questions like this actually end up doing it? Probably not. Maybe half a day. I personally don't think judgment has a place here unless someone asks for specific advice. Otherwise, I just give answers, not advice. Most of the people who ask these questions are not serious in their weight loss venture; just looking for a quick way out. When they are given answers which show there is NOT a quick way out, they usually give up. Or at least I never see them again.
Ironically this the meanest and most judgemental post in the whole thread.0 -
I just had to correct my roommate on this. He was also trying to include calories he had eaten days ago and hadn't 'burned off yet'. Yeowch.ILiftHeavyAcrylics wrote: »atypicalsmith wrote: »brianpperkins wrote: »Why are you looking for exercises that burn 1000 calories?
Why are you questioning her instead of simply answering? That is, if you have an answer. If not, just go to the next post of interest. It isn't mandatory that you answer a post in a derogatory manner when you don't know how to play nice.
Sometimes people ask because they think they have to burn off everything they eat. They hear the phrase "eat less than you burn" and don't realize that the burn part refers to calories burned just by existing.
I don't think the question was derogatory. Sometimes context is needed in order to answer completely.

I will put a treadmill on max incline (15%) and go at 4.0mph for 60 minutes. I am significantly bigger, so I burn approximately 1800 in that span, but I imagine you can kind of easily get to 1000 calories that way.0

Someone woke up angry and mean. Why do you feel the need for such negativity? The guy just asked a question. At least he was addressing the OP while all you did was try to immediately derail the OPs thread. That's just mean.0 -

Because it's not really true? Especially as OP is light.
I mean, hell, I weigh 200 lbs., and the only way I'm going to burn that much on a walk is if it's a hike with elevation gain and I'm carrying a heavy pack (40 lbs or more). It would be nice if it was true, but alas, NO.

Where are these numbers coming from? An elite aerobic athlete competing for the Tour de France can't burn calories that quickly.

At the risk of being accused of being mean, this post is meant to be helpful, not just to the person I am quoting but to others who may read it and try it.
Be careful with incline. Many people jack up the incline then hang onto the rails. This can significantly affect the calories burned.

Truth. I'm about the OP's size (5'3", 137lbs) and the only time I can recall being in 1000 calorie burned territory was at a tough mudder and even then I didn't make the mark.
I get about 65-70 calories a mile. I'd like to get 100 a mile but...I mean, I'd also like broccoli to taste like cookies.0 -

Oh my goodness, this would be AWESOME!
To be clear, I have counters that tell me that I DO burn that many calories, but after playing this weightloss game for almost 3 years, I can say with authority that they are optimistic. Big time.0 -

And the larger point is whether it's a good idea for her to be trying to burn that much. My opinion is that it isn't. She's already a healthy weight (honestly I'm 5'4" 125ish lbs and I can't imagine trying to lose another 17 lbs), is aiming for a goal weight that's dangerously close to underweight, and she's just looking for a way to lose "as quickly as possible." Even if she speed-walks 10 miles, that 2 hours of exercise per day and she's not talking about eating those calories back. It's much more responsible, imo, to tell her not to try than it is to tell her how to achieve her goal.
