To do it right so it is sustainable ... meaning able to keep it off and to continue to loose waiste (weight) you have to do it at a measured pace. 1/2 to 1.5 lbs a week.

as a note... some stuff I saw says a pound of muscle burns approximately 35-50 calories a day. Generally it looks like about .5 lbs a muscle a week with intense weight training is about the maximum you can gain. But also it is generally stated that to gain 10 pounds of muscle you will put on 4-10 lbs of fat as well. this article was pretty good... http://www.thefactsaboutfitness.com/research/fail.htm but lets look at that... so you would have to work your tail off for 10 weeks to gain 5 lbs of muscle... but then have added say 2 extra lbs of fat... and well... now you can burn a whoping 175 calories a day more... which is just over 1/2 a snickers bar? I still say fork put downs are the best excercise for weight loss... ;-)
