Did you know that…….

A pound of fat equals 3,500 calories. To lose 1 pound a week you will need to expend 3,500 more calories than you eat that week, whether through increased activity or decreased eating or both. Losing 1 to 2 pounds of fat a week is a sensible goal, and so you will want to use the combination of increased activity and eating less that will total 3,500 calories for seven days.

Here’s a range of activities (a huge range) with calorie burn calculator, based on your own weight. What a great tool to have handy! (I’ll add it to the sidebar under Helpful Links.)

It makes you feel like you have to exercise forever to get rid of 3,500 calories! But slow weight loss is the key to long term success.

I see those readouts that post “200 calories burned” and that’s all fine and good but I think, “I ONLY WORKED OFF MY LATTE!”

*sigh*

Baby steps, right? :-)

Thanks for the info!
