how long does it take to loose 40 pounds

if you want to lose weight the healthy way you should lose about 2 pounds a week. it should take about 20 weeks to lose 40 pounds (5 months).

Work @ the UPS Hub. It's the 'ultimate' weight loss program...

Lowering fat percentages comes from a healthy loss of no more then 3 lbs a week. When you lose weight slowly you will lower body fat and this kind of loss will help you limit regain. If you want to really start the first thing to cut out is Sugar, any form, but especially High Fructose Corn Syrup, Figure on at least 3 moths to lose 40 lbs.

I'm not sure I agree. 3 pounds a week is rather fast. This is ok if you're just starting, as most of the weight you lose initially will be water, and your body will be willing to lose more fat due to the sudden change in diet and exercise. But you cant consistantly lose 3 pounds or even 2 pounds per week on a regular basis like that. Your body can adapt to almost any stimulus, including that which is meant to cause fat loss, so you'll have to change it up eventually.

Anyway your question was 'how long', not 'how to'. So in that case, I would be more realistic and say 40 pounds of pure fat, and not other forms of body weight, can be gone in around 40 weeks, if you were losing a pound a week. Plan on it taking a year, but you can also train and improve yourself in other ways during this time.

I LOST 30 iN A MONTH WiTH NUTRiSYSTEM..I WEiGHT 215..NOW iM 174 & I WAS 177 LAST WEEK..iM STiLL LOSiNG iT..I STARTED iT LiKE 3 MONTHS AGO BUT iTS AWESOME

It depends on how much you weigh to start with. If you are very overweight, you'll lose 40 lbs faster than a smaller person. Everyone is different.
