Need to lose 15 pounds 28 days (30 days really)

I would guess the answer is "no". 700 cals x 7 days = 4900 calorie deficit, while a 2 pound loss requires a calorie deficit of 7000 (3500 x 2). So if everything goes right (meaning you have not slowed your metabolism with your limited eating), you still wouldn't take off 2 pounds.

Are you sure you're burning 700 cals on the treadmill? How long are you on there and what's your exertion level? Note that the numbers on the machine are usually way off.

What is your weight? I'm surprised you have a weight problem considering you barely eat. You must either not be overweight or have really slowed down your metabolism.

Yea, but that's assuming her 700 calories expended on the treadmill are putting her in a 700 calorie deficit. If she's simply burning 700 calories via exercise... we still can't answer her question without knowing how much she's eating. She could be burning 700 and eating 5000.

Nike, you need to figure out your caloric intake. How many calories are you consuming. If we could help you with the information you provided... don't you think I would have.

Go to and input your daily intake and let's get a firm number of what your nutrition looks like.

In order to lose weight, you must be in a caloric deficit. To know if you are in a deficit, you need to know how many calories you need to maintain your weight and reduce from there.

Do that and you'll lose weight.

Yea

Steve = idiot

Haha.

Well, I've never came across someone who couldn't figure out their cals.

What do you mean you don't know what kind of fish you are eating?

And look, you are doing exercise and eating healthy foods. If you aren't losing weight, and you haven't been starving yourself.... you are either A) eating too much and/or, B) doing too little.

Nobody can tell you what 'enough' is. That's what I've been trying to say. This is a 'touch and feel' process. If you aren't losing weight, switch things up and make some changes to your plan of attack after a few weeks. It's really that simple.
 
blancita,i have been putting on weight ever since i got married and even more after my daughter was born..but i have not been exercising for the post three years so i just kept on putting my weight ..until about 2 months ago,i decided that i wanted to get more healthy hence decided to start losing my body fats and in the process my weight as well so that i can do longer distance running(advice by people that overweight people will put alot of stress on their knee cap when they run)that was the time i started off by slow jog,than slowly increasing my milage..my friend told me to add in strength training as well to aid in losing my body fats..so this month i just got a membership in a gym called fitness first and have been doing brisk walking on the treadmill for about 50 minutes at least..alternate days doing some weights..by the way,i am not rushing to see results like 2 pounds a week but just want to know if i keep to my plan now,will i slowly see my weight and bodyfats going down?(it can be like 2 weeks down a pound,as long as i am getting more healthy)
 
to the O.P two of your goal are in conflict with each other. In oder to get rid of your man boobs as you call then you will need to not only maintain your current muscle while losing fat but also build new muscle in the future. If you just lose weight at anycost it will make your man boobs worse not better.

That being said FLAT BENCH PRESS, INcline, Delcine and fly's for chest but I don't see the point if your plan is to lose muscle no exercise will help.
