Reply from Amanda, Age 19 - 12/18/08 - IP#: 63.135.3.xxx go on google and search "BMR calculator" i forget which of the links it is, but one of them you enter your age, height, and weight and activity level. it will tell you how many calories you need to eat per day to maintain your weight, and how much to eat to lose 1 pound of fat per week. follow what they say to lose the 1 pound per week, then up your exercise a bit and you should average about 1-3 pounds of weightloss per week. hope i helped! :)

Look for foods with low fat, sugar and carbs. It's not as hard as it may seem 02. drink lots of water 03. drink at least 1 green tea a day 04.add lemon juice to your water 05. substitute actual sugar for splenda, and don't drink anything with calories. Like juice, crystal light is a great substitute 06.don't eat after supper Just a few suggestions.. they worked for me, i lost 15 pounds in a little over a month and i used all of these tips. Good luck!
