If I weigh 145 how long should it take me to lose 20 lbs?

If I am exercising 3 times a week at the gym, walking/hiking 2 days im not at the gym, and eating about 1200 calories a day?
Answer:
You should only lose about 2 to 3 pounds a week to be healthy. So that is like what...10 weeks give or take? I am 5'2 and recently lost 20 lbs after being 145 (weird) but it came off in like 6 months, but I wasn't trying to lose it, it just happened. Just eat healthy and exercise. It will come off don't worry. It might just take a little while
To lose weight in a healthy fashion you should go for no more than two pounds per week. That means 10 weeks. If you lose the weight more rapidly the tendency is to put it back on rather quickly.
1-2 pounds a week is a healthy and more permanent weight lose. So you figure about 10-15 weeks, which is like 2 months. I'm not sure how tall u are or if in fact u need to lose 20 pounds, but a lot of ppl will lose about 5-10 pounds the first week or 2. So it might be sooner than projected, but u have to make sure ur drinking plenty of water so assure that ur weight lose is real and not just water weight coming off.
That really depends. Is 125 lbs. even a healthy weight for you? If it is, and you are sticking to this plan, I would figure two months to lose 20 lbs. Any faster and your body will start to go into starvation mode and hold on to as much as it can making it harder to lose any weight and seriously messing with your metabolism.
