I hate running and I'm trying to find a way to get out of it, but I'm really trying to lose some weight. Is walking at a fast past for an hour just as good? I can run. I just hate it. I have tried for years and done races and I have not been able to get addicted to it. I could go out and run 5km easy right now. Plus, now that it's cold, I find it hard on my voice, and I'm a singer. After speaking to others on the web, I found the answer. Running for half an hour is more effective.

I'm trying to lose a little weight which I'm doing through diet and exercise, especially running. I've recently decided to take it up and I'm doing really well in it. I got $100 for my birthday from my boyfriend and I thought I should put some of it towards something that will help my weight loss and/or my running habit. So any suggestions under $100 I'm open to. Thanks =]. After looking around, I learned — Have you tried this already?

I want to lose about 40 lbs. I've started an interval running program six days a week. I do 2. 5-3 miles all day. I also do strength training all other day and elliptical for 30 min all day. I can feel my endurance building and the muscles building in my legs. I know I am building muscle right now, but how long before the fat starts coming off too. I think I found an answer. Fat starts coming off immediately. How long before you actually see results will depend on the intensity of your exercies and, more importantly, your diet. Many people who are trying to lose weight make some pretty big mistakes when they start an exercise plan – They think they need energy to work out so they have a 300 calorie power bar and drink 150 calories in a sports drink. They just consumed more than they burned during their 30 minute work out. So track what goes in as well as what goes out to make sure you are burning more than you are consuming. Don't starve yourself, as you need food for energy, but you have to eat right. Since you want to lose 40 pounds I assume you are overweight (no offense). I was in the same boat and I actually found that working out gave me more energy and I guess my body was using my fat stores. I wound up eating less when I was losing weight than I do now just trying to maintain the weight loss. To finally answer your question, if you eat right and work out hard then you should visibly see some results in a couple of weeks, and each week the scale should should show you dropping as much as 3 to 4 pounds. That number will go down as you lose weight. The first 25 pounds will be much easier to lose than the last 15 but seeing the results will keep you motivated to keep going. For the record, when I was 60 pounds overweight it took 6 weeks to lose 30 pounds, another 6 to lose 17 more, and then 6 more weeks to lose 9 more pounds. I lost a few more pounds but it is a bit of a struggle to keep it off. I worked twice a day for those 18 weeks, about 40 to 70 minutes each session.
