I am 16 stone. I have been walking fast on it for 2 weeks 20 mins a day. I feel I have more energy and have lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks. Before I was in a rut with no energy. I want to loose 4 stone. I am 47 years old and will do it.

But what do you do if you don't LIKE working out? What if you get bored or don't like logging hours in the gym with all those muscle boys or short-shorts women? One viable option is the home treadmill, because of all the things it allows you to do to FORGET that you are exercising in the first place! You can set it up in front of the television and watch your favorite episode of ER or Oprah. An hour will fly by and you won't even notice that you've been walking (or running)! Many treadmills also come with a magazine or book rack. What about walking uphill (a MEGA calorie burner) while reading your favorite mazagine or novel? How easy is that? And the more you enjoy your workout (or the more you can forget that you're exercising) , the more time you'll spend burning calories on your treadmill. http://www.treadmillmaster.info Report Spam or Abuse RE: Losing Weight With a Treadmill Post By Carly (Guest Post) (03/26/2007) I used to run on a track and lost a lot of weight. now I have been running on a treadmill for 3 months and i feel like im getting bigger. my hips feel bigger and wider. do you really gain more muscle running on the treadmill than you would on the ground. i don't want to waste all this time running on the treadmill if im just going to get thicker.

If you can sing, you are not working hard enough. If you can talk, but not sing, you are right where you want to be. If you can do neither, you're working yourself too hard, and will stop burning fat stores, and begin burning muscle. Slow yourself down a bit until you can talk. Remember that muscle tissue weighs more than fat tissue. (That is, one cupful of fat weighs less than one cupful of muscle.) So, you may notice that your clothes are fitting better before you see a change on the scale. Also, if you see the scale move up a bit, but KNOW you have been careful of your food intake and have been exercising, don't fret! You're losing fat and gaining muscle, and this is not unusual. Check your measurements or the fit of your clothes and let that be the true test. Also, one other thing I notice, is that there is a week out of every cycle that I gain up to five pounds of water weight. I also know that a week later it comes off. If you know this is something that happens to you, take this into account when you do your own "weigh-ins".

Here is a link to a great burn barometer that I love to use all of the time. It is great to plug in everything you have done for the day to see how your calorie burning is going: http://health.ninemsn.com.au/tools/burnbarometer.aspx Report Spam or Abuse RE: Losing Weight With a Treadmill Post By Celia Browne (Guest Post) (06/16/2006) Everyone's metabolism is different, but if you are eating sensibly and exercising regularly, it should 4 to 10 weeks. Ideally you don't want to lose more than a pound a week as it has a bad impact on your body to lose it faster and you are less likely to keep it off. As for knowing when you are losing "fat" versus all lean tissue--think aerobic. You must be in aerobic mode to truly burn fat and that means you should not be out of breath. There are lots of ways to tell from monitors that you can hook up to taking your own pulse and measuring it against a chart. I use the "cheap and easy" way...if I can carry on a conversation while exercising and not get out of breath, I'm doing well!

That way you can see if you are starting to firm up. Report Spam or Abuse
