How long would it take you to lose 14 pounds?

The amount of time it would take to lose 14 pounds (6.35 kg) can vary depending on several factors, such as starting weight, diet, exercise routine, and metabolism. However, generally, a safe and healthy rate of weight loss is considered to be 1-2 pounds (0.45-0.9 kg) per week.

As such, a 14-pound weight loss goal can be achieved in approximately 7-14 weeks for both males and females, assuming a consistent and healthy approach to diet and exercise. It's important to note that individual results may vary and that crash dieting or extreme exercise can have negative health consequences.

It's also worth noting that weight loss should not be the only measure of health and wellness, and that sustainable lifestyle changes that promote overall health, rather than just short-term weight loss, are more important for long-term success.

I'm doing 15 minutes lower dumbell workout and brisk walking 20 minutes a day. Im eating 1100 calories a day now and have cut out 90% of fast food and 80% of sugar. Basically I'm eating proteins, so meat, fish, sweet potatoes, quinoa, fruits and vegetables and peanut butter etc. Ita just 14 pounds which is mainly on my stomach.

I used to eat between 2200 to 2500 calories a day and so much sugar I'm talking I would eat 3 or 4 chocolate bars sometimes more a day. I had a little addiction to sugar. In the last 3 weeks I've had about 4 squares of dark chocolate and 3 small chocolate rice krispie bars thats my only treats spaced over those weeks

It's great that you have made positive changes to your diet and exercise routine. However, it's important to keep in mind that weight loss varies for each person and depends on a variety of factors, such as age, metabolism, and starting weight. Based on your current routine and calorie intake, it's possible to lose 14 pounds in a few months, but it's important to approach weight loss in a sustainable and healthy way. It's also recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before making any significant changes to your diet and exercise routine.

I've lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks so does that sound good so far? I definitely have more energy. If this carries on as one pound per week I should hit my goal in 3 months altogether

Losing 2 pounds in 2 weeks is a good and healthy weight loss, especially when you're also experiencing an increase in energy levels.

It depends on what you are prepared to do. First, eliminating all fast food consumption will prevent you from retaining liquids, which will help loose weight and inflamation. Next, you have to go into a calorie deficit, meaning eat less calories and spend more calories. How? Well, best thing to do is to get a nutritionist to create a plan for you. Mostly, you need to work out properly. Not the 45 minute slow eliptical or walk. You need to do strength training, plus soft cardio at the end to burn fat as energy. Eliminate sugars, stop drinking sodas or liquor. Drink water. And it may take you 2 or 3 months. But remember it is not about starving yourself, its about eating the right things, the things you need, in order to work out, get stronger and burn fat weight, not muscle weight.

Jeez! If I tried to lose 14lbs, I would disappear! At 89lbs at best, I don't think I could ever lose 14.

[Asker]

Ok but just say you weight like 150 pounds how long do you think it will take

[Jessica405]

Best to stick to 3lbs a week. It needs a change in eating habits and exercise. NOT a fad diet. Fad diets usually end up turning into yo-yo dieting. You need a way of eating that is sustainable.

[Sour-rose]

A week? Depending how I do it, stay focused and do it, wouldn't take long honestly

[AviatorTom]

If I went on a diet and increased my exercise, it would probably take me a couple months to lose 14 pounds. You can lose 5 pounds of water weight in the first week. After that, it's a good dieting pace to lose 1-2 pounds a week.

[DaveJord]

Depends, if I did everything as unhealthy as possible, like maybe 3 days to a week.

If I did it the right way and heathy way, like 2 pounds a week for a total of 7 weeks.

[smølf]

A safe and sustainable rate of weight loss is typically around 1-2 pounds per week, and losing 14 pounds would require approximately 10-14 weeks.

It took me about 6 months to lose ten pounds. I would say at least 6 months.

[Asker]

How old were you when you did?

[exitseven]

I was 51.

[OfMiceandMen]

Likely a couple of months, metabolism ain't what it used to be, even though I remain active.

[PinkRose24]
