I Need to Lose 25 - 75 Pounds

Learning about the foods you eat:

- Visit your local library, or purchase an inexpensive calorie book.  Stick to a 1,200 to 1,500 calorie diet per day until you reach your weight goal.

- It may take you a while to get used to the correct serving sizes, so please measure until you feel comfortable with the amount of food you are putting on your plate.  Many dieters make the mistake of taking too little food when they begin dieting.  So please measure to ensure that you get all of your calories in for the day.

- Do NOT go below 1,200 calories unless you are under the supervision of your doctor.

Implementing Healthy Recipes Into Your Diet:

Begin experimenting with healthier ingredients when cooking.  Hide your iron skillet until you reach your desired weight.  Frying is a no-no until then, unless you use non-stick, no calorie cooking spray.

Become Involved in Something That You Like to do:

Take up a favorite interest or hobby to keep your mind occupied.  Otherwise, you may continuously think of food, or about losing weight.
