Ruthie’s Step 18….The Calorie thing!
First of all if you are a doing a calorie weight loss plan you need to know how many calories you need to have to maintain your weight. You can go to www.caloriecontrol.org to find out. You then need to subtract 500 calories from each day to loose a pound a week. If you add exercise in you will loose more! I found out if I am having an active week I will loose 3 pounds sometimes. Like cleaning the yard and the major spring cleaning!

Look at this website for calorie burning amounts just by doing the things you do everyday!
