Ok, I did 1.5 miles Thursday, 1.5 Friday, and 3.1 miles on the Treadmill today. Well today I burnt 520 calories. Well they say you need to eat less calories than you can accomplished loss on the Treadmill. So am I suppose to eat less than 520 calories per day?!?! Or am I suppose to just do like 10 miles on a Treadmill?!? If anyone has tips on losing weight while walking on a Treadmill please hook me up!! Thanks guys!!

well im not an expert on wieghtloss, but i know that you really need to work really hard to loose the weight. its not going to be an immediate effact. the best thing to do is what everyone says is to eat right and bust your balls working out. distance running is good to build up endurance which really helps, but you need more than just running. a high intensity work out would be the best.
walking is good but you would have to walk miles to have any big effact. any little thing does help. If you want to use a treadmill, i would advise just running as hard as you can for as long as you can.

wyantm06; You need to read some on this but basically your needed minimum calorie intake depends on your current weight.The more you weigh the more calories you need per day to keep you metabolism from slowing down .Then as you lose weight the amount you need drops.Read a good college level book on nutrition.
Here is a formula for a rough approximation;
1kcal per kilogram per hour for men.
Example 220lb man
1. Convert lbs to kg 220 X 1kg/2.2lb = 100kg
2.thats 100kg X 1kcal/kgperhr = 100 kcal per hr.
3.100kcal X 24/hr/1 day = 2400 kcal per day
That means a 220 lb mans needs 2400 calories a day to maintain his BMR(Basal metabolism).
Of course these should be good nutricious calories not empty ones.
I personaly am against running & think walking is much better for an out of shape fat person.
Running has too much impact on the knees.
Lean muscle also burns more calories than fat muscle but weighs more.
If you don't get the BMR your body goes into starvation mode & your metabolism slows down.

i dont know everything but i know some stuff about weight loss/ muscle gain
first you need to eat more meals. 5-6 meals a day, but they have to be portioned less.
you have to drink alot of water.
like sequoia said, if you dont eat alot or the time between meals is too long it tells the body that you will not have a meal for a long period of time and the body will store all the calories and fat it can to prevent weight loss.
also, if you'er looking for muscule gain, you should wake up and work out in the morning because you're hormone levels are highest around 7 in the morning, which contributes to better performance.
if you want i can send you a ' basic body composition' e-book, it explains what you should eat, shouldnt eat, goes over muscule groups and how to get lean.
pm me.

Tread mill is fine part of a workout.
I also have a weight bench I use. Plus situps.
I do a mile, 50 situps, bench press, military press, curl. It keeps me pretty fit. And I do it daily.

kamil234; Basing the diet on BMR involves pretty close calorie counting.What I recommend for a maintenance diet with slow weight loss that can be increase with a proper exercise regimen is kind of like yours.The goal is to stay at the BMR adjusting as the weight drops.
The 5 or 6 meals works for some people & I recommend something similar for a whole life diet.Which is 3 meals with approximately the same calories & a snack between them.
The 2 snacks should be protein with some fat & no carbs.The reason for that is this doesn't kick the pancreas into gear & start it producing insulin.Insulin not only lowers blood sugar but also helps the body store fat.Then balanced protein,carbs, & fat at the meals.NO EMPTY CALORIES.& yes a lot of water.
Then stop all food intake at least 3 hours before bedtime.This allows the digestive system time to slow down so you get a good nights sleep & wake more rested.Believe it or not you actually burn quite a few calories while you sleep.& good sleep is essential for good health.
For exercise a mix of cardio,strength, & flexibility.I personally like yoga the old style not Pilate's or fast yoga which I consider an oxymoron.The slow precision & control requires & builds strength.Kind of like Ti chi.Although it calms the mind & slows the metabolism while doing the yoga positions for some reason it increases weight loss.Proof of this is how many regular practicers of yoga do you see fat.
Now for a faster weight loss diet for a limited time.I like a high protein /low carb diet.From real food not the liquid protein crap.
If you just can't live with the low carbs then at least avoid high glycemic foods even natural ones.Then do carbs at one meal waiting 4 hours then protein & fat at the next one & so on.Don't mix carbs & protein & fat at the same meal.This allows you both.Very low carb green vegtables are OK with the protein meal. The theory on this is you don't kick the insulin production into gear when you have eaten fat & protein.The body will try to store these when the insulin is higher.Then with the carb only meal the insulin just burns the carbs instead of storing them.

So at night time would be best. After I am done eating for the day. Sounds right to me.

Also if you really want to loose weight cut your self back to 1200 calories a day until you loose the weight then start eating again in moderation and use weights with the tread mill you will gain some weight but it will all be muscle.
Edit: this is me after loosing 50lbs. at age 40.

LOL some good advice given, maybe I should take also ?,at 6' 2"
and 92 kilo's ( 200Lbs ) my Doc reckons I am overweight by around
22 Lbs ,
the only advice I can give is , don't rush the weight loss , eat healthy , and cut out the junk food , slowly build up the exercise ,
try and find a sport that you enjoy , as an ex racing cyclist , I don't take to running to easy , and running is hard on the joints and I find boring anyway ,
but if you enjoy the sport you are doing it gets much easier to do ,
and you are more likely to continue with it in the future ,
because what you should be looking at is a change of life style permanently , any other way just leads to a rebound situation in the future IMHO,
some good sports/exercise are swimming , tennis , squash , cycling
most team games are good , as you have the incentive not to let the team down,
but if you haven't exercised for a while ,dont rush into it at full speed , you will only end up with various strain injuries , and give up ,
and a medical check up before you start any heavy training routine
is a good idea ,
BTW around 512 calories in the average burger
Walking for 1 mile burns about on average, 100 calories.. But it takes 3500 burned to lose 1 pound..so have fun walking 35 miles
for every burger eaten , you need to walk about 5 miles ,
I guess it is easier not to eat the burger in the first place
from a tech point , you loose about 6 cals for every 2 pints of oxygen consumed , the heavier you are more calories are burnt,
watch your pulse rate during excercise , for those starting out it should not rise more than 60% above your normal resting pulse rate , if it does stop and just walk around untill it returns to normal ,

I started out mid July of last year at 384 lbs and now as of yesterday I'm 273 lbs. Small healthy snacks throughout the day. One pepsi a day sometimes no pepsi. Coffee everyday...I never skip breakfast. Lots of fiber in my morning cereal with milk for calcium. No vitamins because they make me feel sick and bloated. Maybe some healthy wraps for lunch with a nice salad. Low carb/low fat dinner with no snacks after dinner. But rarely I need a snack after dinner. I keep it small and light though...maybe a sugar free jello. I switch between walking and aerobics so I don't get bored and I try to do it about 4 to five days a week. For snacks and breakfast I really enjoy fiber one bars from Sam's Club they have chocolate and caramel and they are decadent. I really like fiber one cereal from Sam's too. My motto is if you have to have carbs make sure there's lots of fiber in it so it goes right through you and doesn't stick. Sounds gross but it's effective lol. And fiber in my cereal and meals actually does more than keep me regular it also decreases my appetite. Also, organic wheat pasta with extra fiber is awesome for me too as an alternative to the regular pasta.

sorry but not just after eating , especialy swiming , you can get cramp that way or faint , as some of the bodies blood has been diverted in consuming the burger ,
feeding a greyhound just before a race is the finest way of making sure he ain't going to win , and same goes for humans ,
and eating a heavy meal last thing in the evening is also not a good thing to do ,
sorry for the double post but I ain't getting any reply notifications since the server change , any one else having the same problem ?
Btw Coknuck , remind me not to get into a fight with you ,
you are certainly in fine shape there , my only defence has been to be faster than the other guy on the feet , now I just claim you wouldent hit a pensioner would you , unfotunatly most will these days ,

Well I am probably 300 lbs now...I finally just got a $800 Reebok Treadmill from Sam's Club. Like I said I bene working hard on it. So far today I ate a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios for breakfast. I probably won't eat lunch, I will just eat something little for dinner and then possibly a yogurt for snack. Does that seem to much trying to lose weight or is that to little? Btw I plan on walking 2 miles a day on the Treadmill between 2.3-3.0 MPH and a 6.0 incline. Does all this sound fine? That's what I usually eat for breakfast anyways a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Honey Nut Cheerios. Then I usually eat nothing for lunch because I don't have time for it because I am working so hard at my job. I usually come home and eat dinner...Then something healthy for snack. Then I do the Treadmill. Sorry for blabbing on, I just want to know if that's fine.
