Lose 40 pounds.

I want to lose at least 40 pounds by June. Hopefully at least 10 by spring break. I can not go to a gym often, so do you know of any exercises that I can do in my bedroom? One that would help my stomach get smaller, and thighs... I also plan on running....

how much do you recommend? What should I eat, how many calories a day?

Please help. I need this. I am ready to get fit. Thanks.

Follow some easy rules and you will be suprised at how much you loose.

-Make water our primary drink after breakfast - juice for breakfast
-No Soda's
-No fried foods - only grilled or baked
-No buttery flavorings - use hot sauce and spices instead
-Walk for an hour a day
-walk up and down stairs for 15 mintues a day
-Cut out the carbs

Some healthy food ideas:

-Use lettuce instead of bread, take a piece of lettuce and put some turkey and mustard in it - wrap it up and eat.
-Pita bread chicken wraps
-Carrot sticks and hummus
-Fruits and Veggies
-Sliced Bell Peppers dipped in cottage cheese and hotsauce
-Frozen Grapes
-Take a banana, dip it in yogurt, and freeze it.
-Freeze orange juice - eat it like sorbet
-Low fat jello
-Rice cakes with light cream cheese spread on top
-Salads - no dressing, use vinegar instead.

How to LOSE weight?

First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier. Remember, you didn't gain your weight overnight so don't expect to lose if overnight. Plus, weight lost slowly is more likely to stay off than weight lost in a hurry.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years.

BMI Classification

18.5 or less Underweight
18.5 to 24.99 Normal Weight
25 to 29.99 Overweight
30 to 34.99 Obesity (Class 1)
35 to 39.99 Obesity (Class 2)
40 or greater Morbid Obesity

Check out your BMI at the bmi calculator site below to see where you stand.

How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?

One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

What should a minimum calorie intake be?

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

Another thing that helps to lose weight is to always eat a good breakfast. That helps to jump start your metabolism which helps start burning calories. Also, try to drink 8 eight ounce glasses of water every day. One before every meal (except breakfast) and before all snacks. That helps curb your appetite which helps reduce caloric intake.
