how long should i run if i walk 45 mins everyday?

ok so im trying to lose some weight and tone up...im 4'11 123-127 pounds it always changes...anyways i want to get tone before my bf comes to town to visit i feel like a little chubby and i dont feel good about it...i want to look and feel good! anyways i walk home from school everyday i try to do a fast pace when i walk. its about a 35-45 minute walk..when i get home i get kind of sore. like this week i didnt have school on monday so i didnt walk sat.sun and mon ( i dnt walk on weekends home ) and so i felt sore after walking on tuesday ! im not sure its because i got a good walk or because my period is coming up..anyways i have a treadmill at home and i felt like i shouldnt go on it because walking home was enough and im exhausted...but then im thinking i need to start getting in shape quicker because idk if its me but i feel like i look the same. how long should i run for? or should i jog since i already walked all that way and im sore? should i do intervals? help!

How to Lose Weight Drinking Water

Recommended Answer:

You don't say when you boyfriend is coming to town so it is anybody's guess how long you have and you don't say how much you want to weigh so we are left with trying to answer how do you do what you don't specify in an indeterminate amount of time. There is not that much difference between running and walking in terms of calories burned so just walk on the the treadmill for 35-45 minutes but diet is 85% of weight loss (and doesn't leave you sore) so you might think of making changes there. I don't know if this helps at all but if you were 4'11 123-127 pounds when he last saw you and he is coming from out of town to see you again, it sounds like you are plenty toned as far as he is concerned. Just sayin'.

My cat has a sagging stomach, it this normal?

My cat Patches just turned 2 a couple of days ago and was fixed about 5 months ago. She's a bit chubby but not overweight really(maybe somewhere between 9 and 11 pounds). Like a week ago I noticed she has a loose, saggy belly that hangs down when she stands. I'm not sure how long it's been there b/c like I said I just noticed it. If I touch it she doesn't seem to be in any pain and she's still acting like herself but it still worries me b/c my last cat that had this problem had stomach cancer and had to be put down. I am going to the vet on Thursday but in the meantime I'm worrying myself sick b/c I don't think I can deal with losing another pet(I've lost 3 over the past 3 yrs; 2 to stomach cancer and one to an aneurysm) if it's something serious. I'm honestly considering going to an animal hospital or something. Can someone please tell me what this could possibly be and/or if it's normal?

How to Lose Weight with Chinese Herbs

HA! HA! I have 10 with the same physique! It is called a fat pad! Cats tend to hold the fat there! Not to worry! Inside companion cats (as they should be kept) tend to have this! It is like a humans "Love Handles". As kittens have the long, thin, gangly stage they go through, adults finally even out and have the fat pad. If it hangs to their feet, then you have an obese kitty! If it is just a small bit, it is normal. I feel it is a reserve in case they get sick! Enjoy your kitty and when you go for your yearly check - ups and vaccinations, your vet will keep you informed if there is an issue! Thank-You for being concerned! It shows you are compassionate and love your BFF !!!

• I know what your're talking about. I don't really know that there's even a proper name for it -- maybe a fat pouch? There's nothing wrong; 99% of all cats have one. They just have a "flabby" tummy. Sometimes, it kind of sways when they trot or run. Some people call it a "spay sway" (regardless of cat's gender). That doesn't happen to all cats, but it is pretty common.
• Normal. It's called a doolap. 2 of my cats have it. This talks about it briefly. http://www.catinfo.org/?link=felineobesityScroll down a little.
