Question 1

im about 58 225 pounds. i want to lose weight badly. will a good start be to cut down on eating and maybe walk on a treadmill for 40 minutes a day?

Accepted Answer

Yes!: You bet!  Just don’t make your goals too big - 40 minutes a day might be a lot - maybe start with 3x/week?  Or 20 min daily?  Along with your plan to cut down on calories!  Be sure to check with your doctor with any new symptoms after starting exercise - especially with any chest pain, difficulty breathing, dizziness, etc.

Question 2

im 510, 253 pounds. recently started walking on treadmill every day for about 30 minutes. burn about 170 calories. also starting to balance my diet more. is this enough to see even a slight difference weight over time? i also have limited mobility?

Accepted Answer

: You will lose weight if you burn more calories than you take in. So, as long as you ingest 170 calories less, you will lose weight over time. If you eat 170 calories more than you usually do, you won’t lose any weight. It is a definite balance-if you burn more calories than you take in, weight loss occurs. Good luck to you! Congrats on your exercise plan!!

Question 3

is it possible to lose a pound in 20 minutes on the treadmill?

Accepted Answer

Yes--by sweating off: You will not be able to lose 3500 calories (value of 1lb) in 20 min of exercises on the treadmill, but you can certainly lose a pound or more from sweating. Wearing sweat pants/shirts/hood and running hard for 20 min will cause much sweating and losing a pound is easy, but this is only water--which will reaccumulate when you drink fluid. Losing real wt is hard work! consult doc. Good luck.

Question 7

205 pounds have at least 8 months to lost 60 pounds , how i can lose weight , i have a treadmill and perfect sit up machine  , i always end up quittin?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss: 60 lbs in 6months is a reasonable goal at 2 lbs per week. You need to burn or not consume 7000 calories per week. Decrease intake by 500 calories per day and burn 500 more calories per day. Treadmill about two hours per day and 1500 or less calories consumed.

Question 8

if i walk at 6mph everyday for an hour on treadmill how much weight will i lose every week plus counting calories down to 1000-1500  healthy eating?

Accepted Answer

6 mph is very fast.: 6 mph is very fast walking.... It is 1 mile every 10 min.  Most people can only walk 3 mph.  
So that being said. If you are doing 6 mph you are doing good exercise and will notice a weight loss in the first 2-3 weeks.   1000 cal diet is a very low cal diet for someone running  that much.  You should see a nutritionist to make sure u get all your nutrients, .

Question 9

im having heart palpitations at night every once in a while and my urine smells i do have high a1c 9% but in three months since june 2023 i lost 11 pounds. i am supposed to start the treadmill on monday to exercise?

Accepted Answer

: Increase fluid intake 50% for a couple days and pay attention to the urine odor. Occasional palpitation is common so you should go ahead with the treadmill exercise. Losing 11# is great but the significance of that lost depends on your baseline weight. If you current BMI is still above 30, chance of avoiding diabetic treatment is low. You should have fasting glucose and HbA1c rechecked. Good luck.
