Answers:

Here's a few personal tips. If you maintain the daily caloric intake and adhere to a regular exercise program (at least 5 times per week...it doesn't have to be the same thing everyday), you should lose between 2 and 3 pounds per week. Losing any more than this is very unhealthy.

Try to keep your diet between 1250 and 1400 calories a day. Write down the number of calories of everything that goes into your mouth (that has calories) Keep a daily log.

You may come up with more or learn some in the futures, but for the time being here are a few food tips:

Use "Light" bread instead of regular bread. Light bread is only 40 calories per slice and regular bread is 80 calories per slice. Instead of using sugars, use Splenda--it taste just as good except it has ZERO calories. Exchange regular soda pops for diet ones. For snacks try sugar free popsicles, pickles (if you can handle the sodium) sugar free jello, sugar free pudding, and fruit (watch the fruit intake...even though it's healthy they still have CALORIES)

NEVER let yourself get too hungry
NEVER leave the house hungry
NEVER go grocery shopping while hungry

If you allow yourself to get too hungry, you usually make unwise choices in food. Same thing goes if you go grocery shopping while being hungry.


If you leave the house hungry, you can be easily tempted to grab something like at a fast food restaurant such as a McDonald's Big Mac, order of fries, regular coke and an apple pie, which is more than 1500 calories in one whop! (that's more than your 1200-1400 calorie limit)

EXERCISE: Such as
:
1. Going for 45-minute walks. (brisk walks where you're swinging your arms as you walk)
2. Swimming (30 minutes)
3. Dancing for about 30 CONSECUTIVE minutes (twice a day) to fast music (play the music and dance in the privacy of your own bedroom)
4. Bicycle riding (45 minutes or more)
5. Jumping rope (30 minutes)

Either way, good luck!! (The first is BEST--the results last longer)
