Answers: Seeing that I eat healthy and exercise daily for thirty-60 min

I've heard that the healthiest and most natural rate of weight loss is 1 - 2 lbs per week. It sounds like you are taking a logical, healthy approach to your weight loss. Expect it to take 10 - 12 weeks.

Keep in mind that you need to vary your exercise routine about every 4 weeks. Reason being your body will adjust to a given exercise routine, resulting in fewer calories being burned. By changing up your exercise routine, you'll keep your body guessing and maximize the benefit.

2-4 months :D

Average HEALTHY weight loss is 1-3 pounds per week.

good weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week too much more and your likely to regain when your exercise or diet regime lets up a bit

it's different from person to person....someone who starts this can experience great lose in a short amount of time then level off and not lose anything for a while. Others lose very steady and quickly.

a safe amount of weight to lose a week is about 1-2 lbs, though. so 20 lbs = 20 weeks, give or take depending on metabolism.

depends. 2-4 months on average, may be less if you are significantly overweight, may be longer if its the last 20 pounds (the last 5-10 being harder to lose).

You can expect to lose 2-3 lb per week, so 20/2 is 10 weeks, 20/3 is 6.67 weeks, so the average would be about 8 week to lose 20 lbs.

It really depends on your, your height/weight, and how you are trying to lose it. Diet, exercise or diet/exercise.
The first..say..10lbs. may come off very quickly-in the first month, but the last 10 may take more work. The less weight you have to lose, the more difficult it is to lose-because you have to be so diligent and strict with your diet and work out. You could lose it in as little as 2-3 months, but don't be discouraged if it takes 6-8---typically if you lose the weight slowly it is more likely that you will keep it off because it required more of a lifestyle change than a rapid weight loss plan-where most people gain the weight back.
