Lose pounds and inches
How long will it take to lose 20 pounds if I do cardio 5 times a week ?
I am 5'3" and approx. 115-20 pounds, I don't normally exercise but want to lose a few extra pounds before summer.

- It depends on how much fat you have to lose. Some people who have more fat generally tend to lose weight quicker than those who dont have as much fat.
- the best way to do it, is if you sleep between 10pm-midnight. dont eat after 8pm. then do the cardio first thing in the morning, before you eat. cause during your sleep your body uses the stored carbs. and also do cardio for more then 20 minutes. then your body will start burning fat, and not just carbs. it takes an averge of 20 minutes of cardio, first thing in the morning, before your body switches to burning fat. so if your not doing cardio for more then 20 minutes, then its kind of a waste of time. if you do that, by summer you will probably lose the weight, but just remember you will start to build muscle too, which weighs more then fat!! and also you need to eat low calories ! healthy food
- It depends on how much cardio you do and how much you are eating. 3500 calories equals a pound so to lose 20 pounds you need to burn off 70,000 calories more than you eat. Calculate about what you eat and how much you are burning off and that will give you an approximate time line for losing 20 pounds. -S
- Before you do anything scary I lost 30 inches in one hour last year it never came back cuz I watched what I ate I did an at home body wrap once every month. cuzI lost 7.5 lbs in 7 days! I have been using the body bugg! It's amazing you get to see how many calories you are really burning! And it helps you see what you sould be eating. what I have been doing is eating 1000cal good food not empty cal! I mostly ate veggies and fruits and lean meat, and burning 3,200. I sould be at -4.38lbs a week! but I wanted to eat more so I worked out more its really simple. . I also use a blog to help me lose weight. I only work out a bit! I am nauraly very lazy so if I can do it so can you lol! Hope this helps!
