QuestionI'm a 22 year old female I way 265lbs I excersize 3 to 4 times a week that's (30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of toning each time) how long do u think it would take me to loose 100-130 lbs.
AnswerHi Lizzie:
It's great that you're getting into the exercise habit so young. If you keep this up, regardless of what happens with your weight, you'll be better off long-term... less risk of diabetes, hypertesion, etc.
But I can't tell you how much you'll lose unless I know more about your diet. Sadly, exercise alone doesn't seem to do a lot for weight loss. It usually needs to be combined with dietary changes as well. If you really are 100-130 pounds over a normal BMI, then you would qualify for bariatric surgery. That coupled with your exercise routine could lead to a excellent prognosis for weight loss long-term.
You can get a good idea of your daily caloric intake and calorie burn through some of the free websites like Sparkpeople.com and thedailyplate.com
I'm sorry I can't give you any more specifics. If you look at what you're losing on a weekly basis now, you can use that as a guide... but you're going to have to increase intensity as times goes on to burn/lose at the same rate.
Sorry, I can't be of more help.
