Weight you can keep off
You want to get back to a healthy weight, but some people have been overweight for so long they don't know what their normal weight is. For the person who just doesn't know where to start, I recommend you set a small goal of 10 pounds. Lose the 10 and keep it off for 2 weeks and then work on 10 more. The second 10 will be harder and take longer, but by this time you should be feeling a little better and want to lose more. Now that you lost the first 10 and you want to lose more, you'll have to do some exercise. If your not use to exercise you have to start slow. I recommend walking. A goal of 5 miles a day is what you want to achieve. But you want to start out doing about 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. It's easy if you have a dog. Take the dog for a walk at night. An after dinner walk will help you digest your meal, help the dog exercise, and help you. If the dog can only walk 15 or 20 minutes at first, you can both build up to 30 minutes. Don't give up because
