that's good but you have to add exercise. try 30-60 min of cardio (walking, running, step aerobics...) 4-5 times per week. this burns more calories. and try a toning regimen 3 times per week. this adds muscle which raises your metabolism. also make sure what you eat is healthy. 3 meals and 2 healthy snacks. eat in moderation, portion control, and drink WATER. cutting out soda alone can shed like 250 calories.

Question, How'd you figure out how many calories she's supposed to eat a day by her weight and height, could you tell me? Thanks, you can either post it here, or e-mail me at Cortezsgirl133@aol.com, I'm 5'5" and weigh 140. Thanks
Vic

Let's see. You height and weight would be around 1,800 calories a day. 1,500- would be a dif. of 700 calroies. 700*7=4,900 calroies. Since there are 3,500 calories in a pound that would be about..let's see...1.4 pounds a week? That sounds right. 1.4*4= 4.6 pounds a month. :)
