Okay, time your self.
First start out as fast as you can up then down once.
and see how much time you get down in,
and Then try to set a goal,
until you meet it.
The hardest goal that you make don't stop until you get it.
Drink lots of water,
stretch before and after,
and don't eat sugar, don't eat too much bread.. & carbs.

Well, you don't neccessarily have to run stairs in order to burn a couple of pounds a week. (Unless you specifically are doing it for a reason) But I think you'd probably have to have some sort of exercise machine to count your calories. And besides that, you need to diet. (Or eat healthy) But to be honest, I think you
d really have to do it in sets. Like, for example, 20 times, up and down, each day.

Short answer: more than you can imagine.
Long answer:
Go here ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)) to calculate how many calories you burn per minute of running up the stairs (it depends on your weight and therefore I cannot calculate it for you). Assuming it's the only exercise you do and you're currently maintaining your weight, if you'd like to burn a pound per week, you'll have to expend 500 calories every day just climbing stairs. Assuming you weigh 130lbs and go at a moderate pace, that's about 83 minutes, or 1 hour and 23 minutes of stair running per day.
Basically, it's not going to happen. Change your diet and find a more sustainable form of exercise if you want to lose the weight--your body will thank you for it, and you're far less likely to be disappointed.

well.. start 1st day with just 3 times up and down( i am sure even thats more) gradually increase this frequency like twice (6 times with a break in between, it is called 'sets', 2 sets is 6 times ), then thrice but do it till 5 times (10 ups and downs, with intermittent gaps). bau mai i suggest you something why don'y you jog that the best aerobic excercise.do it safely. happy workout :->
