Eating calories are so much faster than burning them off, so any serious attempt at weight loss has to start with controlling your intake.
A snack(say a cupcake) that takes 5 minutes to eat can take 45-60 minutes to burn off.
If you're over eating it's pretty much impossible to exercise hard enough to lose weight through exercise alone.
Start with keeping a food diary. List everything you eat and drink during the day. Figure out how many calories that is. Figure out how many calories you should be eating. Figure out how much you can eat to create about a 500 cal deficiency/day. Start doing it.
Try to add some exercise. One hour daily, at a level that gets you decently sweaty and winded.

∙ 14y agoDepending on how much you weigh and what intercity you do it depends. IF you weigh 80kg you will burn 400 calories an hour at 4.7 km per hour But if you run at 9 km per hour you will burn 1500 calories an hour. If you run every day for at least half an hour you will loose weight.

∙ 10y agoI had this same question. What you have to do is work off 3,500 calories more than what you have consumed. Say that you want to loose one pound every week. You have to work out the amount of calories you have eaten, and then the added 3,500. You may find this difficult. But eating the right foods will help you reach your goal much quicker. Carrots, watermelon and Mushrooms are high in water and few in calories, you would be surprised just how much of them you can eat and still consume less than you 2000 calorie intake. You will find yourself satisfied quicker. I weigh 117 pounds, for me I have to stay on an elliptical for five hours in order to burn one pound of fat. The lighter you weigh the less you will burn. if you weigh, say 150, you oldy have to stay on an elliptical for three and a half hours.
This will help calculate anything: http://www.healthstatus.com/perl/calculator.cgi
I hope this helps(:

Keep at a decent pace, it's not about how hard you work out, but how long you do. Working out harder will only raise calorie burning by a small margin. You will burn more calories working out longer.

∙ 10y agoDepends on what and how much you eat and drink first and foremost, and secondly on how long, how hard, and how often you use the machine.
10 minutes every now and then won't help much. One hour daily, dripping with sweat - that can change things.

∙ 13y agoYou lose weight but burning more calories than you consume. You would want to exercise within your ability and for the amount of time to burn the calories you want to
