One pound of fat is about 3500 calories, so you would need to burn 3500 calories x 15 pounds, which is 52,500 calories. The number of calories burned during excercise depends on your weight and how hard you are excercising. As a rough example, someone weighing 150 pounds walking 3 miles/hour for one hour burns about 225 calories, so that person would need to walk 52,500 divided by 225 calories, which is 233 hours. To determine the number of miles per day, divide 233 by the number of days you want to walk. For a walking calculator which gives an estimate of calories burned by walking, see the website listed below under "Related Links". These are rough estimates only. Your body may burn calories at a slower or faster weight.

Depends on how good your body's metabolism and its fat burning ability is...But i'd say a safe amount of .5 pounds per week if u actively walk...the walk has to be brisk and not a slow walk...sort of a power walk...
