How much weight could i lose in 8 week, by running everyday, and watching what i eat?

No sugars, greasey foods and running ten laps over at the local playground(basically a parking lot). I'm really trying to slim thighs and lose inches.

1. i dont know but when i first started my diet i only walked 1 mile a day and ate salads and i lost 12 lb in 2 weeks
2. i would say 25 to 40 pounds depending on foods and running time
3. Your body will adapt, so start small (less laps) and then end up running more. Run six days a week at most; I doubt you're ready for every day for 8 weeks straight starting. I run cross country competitively in high school and right now I'm only running 4-5 days a week. You have to ease into it or else you risk getting injured.
4. at least more than 20
5. Well, the healthy amount of weight loss is two pounds a week. However, the first week it's common to loose more. The first week of my diet I lost five pounds then after that it got to around two a week. So, based on that, I'd say between 19-25 lbs.
6. Seven pounds.
7. One can safely lose 1-2 lbs./week with the expectation that you will keep it off if you continue to eat healthy and maintain a good exercise regimen. If you lost 2 lbs./week than in 8 weeks you would lose 16 lbs (not 25-40!). Something to consider...you want to lose fat, not muscle. You will gain muscle from the exercise, which weighs more than fat so really looking at the scale isn't the best idea. You need a measuring tape which you can find at Target (looking in the ironing/sewing section) or at a local sewing store. Let the tape measure be your guide. You should track your *inches* lost since weight is relative to how much muscle mass vs. fat you have. Also consider part of your weight is bones, water, blood, your organs and any food that hasn't digested yet. Start today and measure your arms, chest, waist, hips and thighs. Write the measurements down and keep recording once every week. By the end of 8 weeks you'll be pleasantly surprised at your progress and how great you look in the mirror, regardless of what the scale says! :-)
8. Every time they run tests and surveys, the only exercise that loses weight is walking. Not running. Not jogging. Not swimming, wrestling (well, maybe couch wrestling . . .), weight lifting, bike riding, not anything you might think would help. Walking. It is believed that the increased activity causes the body to crave food to replace and increase muscles. Though you're burning more calories, your body craves more food. Remember that athletes who want to bulk up always exercise. You're right about no greasy foods or sugars. But one of the greatest appetite stimulators is corn syrup. It is in almost everything and eliminating it can be one of the best things you can do. See Kevin Trudeau's website "Natural Cures". Some of his ideas put me off, but he knows nutrition! I have both of his books and the CD on losing weight without discomfort. Good luck!
