Now in how to lose body fat, consider what size jeans you want to fit into, and how you want to look. Write down your current weight and pants size. I know it is shameful and I did not tell you to go show everyone, just write down your weight and pants size. Now, that should be at the top of the page and at the bottom of the page write down your target weight and pants size, the size you want to be when you lose body fat.

As you lose body fat, all that space in between is to show progress (numbers should go down, not up). Each week at the end of the week, write down your weight and pants size at that time. Don't expect a quick change. Be prepared to be patient to lose body fat.

Number three is cut out the eating out if you want to lose body fat. If you have to eat out, don't get anything in the large size and remember the calories of the foods you are eating. Often foods have more calories than you expect so it can keep you from your goal that is to lose body fat. Remember those salads may contain more calories than you expect.

Number four is increase calcium intake. Take a pill if required, but push your calcium levels up to 1300 to 1500 mg per day or more if you are my age and need strong bones as well.
