Lose pounds and inches

How long will it take to lose 10 pounds?

I am 16 years old, 4'11 and 120 pounds. I am looking to start jogging everyday ( again ) soon. If I keep this up and eat healthy, how long will it take me to lose about 10-15 pounds? I usually jog a mile but about 3 times a week I try to go for 2.

1. depends on how much you workout everyday
2. Jogging how far? For how long? What is your diet like? There are a number of factors that go into figuring how fast you will lose weight...you should be able to lose 10 lbs in just over 3 wks though, assuming a max weight loss of 3 lbs per week...
3. About a month if you run like 3 times a week for 20 minutes! 120lbs is a good weight for 4'11 tho
4. maybe 1-2 months...good luck
5. I don't, I've been trying for over a year. If you stick to a regimen though I would say about 2 months. Good Luck I hope it works out for you! Andrea
6. If you workou t everyday...it should take about 2 months...or more///
7. 2 weeks no soft drinks no bread or fries. Drink a lot of water .
8. 1 pound a week is a healthy way of doing it. However, you might want not to loose all that weight because you need energy to grow still (given your age). You also didn't write whether you are male or female, so it's hard to guess whether your weight is ok or not. Finally when you jog you need to take your heart beatings and target 70-75% of your maximum heart frequency, so that what you burn with jogging is fat.
9. FIRST, you should see your family doctor to make sure you are healthy otherwise before you start jogging or whatever. Provided you are cleared for exercise, then I would do the following, don't worry about how long it takes: Change your lifestyle and do this forever. Drink lots of water, walk, run, or swim an hour every day except 1 then do stretching and upper body toning. Eat fruits & vegetables. No alcohol no bread no burgers No candy No chips no corn no fried foods No pasta No pizza No potatoes No sodas No sugar Good Luck
10. Here is a site that will help yopu figue out how long it will take. It will calculate how many calories you burn based on your weight and height, how many you consume, and from there how long to lose the weight. Good luck with it.
11. A good friend of mine started using the treadmill several months ago. He does 4 miles each session. He has lost 20 pounds already. He has also cut portions at the table. Saw this gentleman two weeks ago. He looks great. Eat a good breakfast. Most important to start the day if you plan on jogging. I am a biker. Have kept my body very slim. For this year I have biked 2300 miles. My age is 82. Good luck with your program.
12. about a month because if you eat 1,200 calories a day and work out you should lose about 2 lbs a week
13. 1-2 lbs a week. So it's doable to lose 10-15 lbs in two months. If you go faster than that, more likely you are losing fluid, won't be able to keep it off, or you might get health issues (such as periods messed-up because of dramatic change of weight). One more thing is that if you are just concerned about the weight, you might want to go light with weight-lifting or any other exercises that build muscle. Jogging is the way to go! :)
