i’m getting a treadmill in march and i would like to know about how long it will take to lose weight and how long to run/jog/walk everyday. right now i am about 140 pounds and around 5’6/5’7. i want to lose about 15 pounds and tone myself up a bit. right now i basically eat whatever whenever and it’s definitely catching up. i would say i have a medium build. i need to lose some fat on my stomach and upper legs/hips. anyone know how long it will take to lose the weight and how long i should go for? i know treadmills burn fat, but are they good for flattening your stomach too? what other exercises are there for legs & abs? would 15 pounds be good for someone like me? or is that too much? i dont want to be really skinny or anything. im aiming for 1300 calories aday & cut back on the carbs. im very unactive and im not involved in sports, i dont get much exercise right now..oh yeah, im going to do some pilates a few nights a week too, crunches, etc…
