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.
If you need conversion info, 1 kg = 2.2 pounds and 2.54 cm = 1 inch (12 inches = 1 foot)

"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.

Though I actually have a eating problem I throw up with sum food which happen to be veggies fruits. and yeah I eat them but in less then 10 hours I will throw it up unwillingly. Anyways I need to loose weight too. :P think with all the foods I cant eat im surprised im over weight. I cant have carbinated drinks and the only thing I drink is water milk sum juices but not usually and tea coffee. I also dont eat chips and things along that line. ill throw up if I do . if you have any advice to go with me id appreciate. maybe we could talk sum time. Anna_heerema@hotmail.com
eat what you want in half the quantity you usually have
have 3 meals and 2 snacks at abt 3 hours from each other to keep your metabolism high
avoid too much salt, it will retain water and make you bigger
drink a lot of water like 4-8 glasses
avoid fizzy drinks and sweet things and fatty foods
start exercising a little at a time
like walk for 10 minutes and the next day increase it to 15 until you can do an hour comfortably without strain
youtube has nice exercise vids that you can follow along to
goodluck! trish :-)
