I weigh 140 pounds and im 5'1 , i want to lose 45 pounds (im 16 .5 yrs old) ?

Question

how long do you think it will take? if i do 60 minutes cardio a day and dont go over 1200 calories?

Answer 1

you can lose 1-2 pounds a week doing your diet plan.  aside from  your 60 min cardio, try to stay active throughout the day too, like ride your bike walk run jumprope run swim dance aerobics. you can lose 30 - 40 pounds by december. you are young,you have a high metabolism you can lose weight faster than adults. good luck. (eat healthy food too ok?)

Answer 2

Losing 45lbs would make you underweight. You would look sickly and be unhealthy.

I'm 5'1 and 110lbs, I used to be 140 as well at your age, but I ate healthy (no silly fad diets), and exercised (cardio and weight training). There is no way for us to tell you how long it would take, because everyone is different, and we don't know what your metabolism is like.

My suggestion is to make a new goal, one that it healthy and attainable.

Answer 3

Physical exercise is important for maintaining physical fitness and can contribute positively to maintaining a healthy weight, building and maintaining healthy bone density, muscle strength, and joint mobility, promoting physiological well-being, reducing surgical risks, and strengthening the immune system. Just because you're getting healthy doesn't mean you can't snack. In fact, eating small meals and snacks throughout the day, or grazing, has been shown to aid weight loss, (compared to eating three large meals a day), by keeping metabolism steadier. Pick snacks that are low in calories and fat and high in fiber (dried apricots, nuts, rice cakes, fruits, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, and so on). Vegetables are generally very low in calories, very high in fiber, and full of flavor and nutrition. Generally, you want to - with a combination of calorie reduction and increased activity - reduce and burn a certain number of calories a day, causing a net loss of calories so your body is forced to use its own stores of fat.

Answer 4

That will work but it will happen faster if you strengthen the muscles too.  Women are afraid of strength training because they think they will get big, bulky muscles, most will not.  

That 1200 calories must consist of a good healthy nutrition plan, not starbucks and McDonald's or processed foods.  Go here for at home exercises:

If you include the strength exercises with nutrition and cardio, you will lose the weight fast, safe and if you continue these you will keep it off.  Good Luck!

Answer 5

that is not very healthy you will look way too skinny stay in between 115 and 145. check out a BMI and make sure your not cutting it too close.

Answer 6

first of all you will look like a piper that is entirely too much weight to loose, Maybe 115-130 pds should be a goal, it should take maybe 3 to 6 months depending on your metabolism. Good luck
