I lost 20 pounds once over about 4 months.

This is whatworked for me.
Load a 50 pound sand bag in a backpack (one with a frame and hip belt.Walk at least 45 minutes a day with it.
Don't eat anything for that time more than 20 percent fat calories.Derive this by deviding the total calories by the fat
calories, if you get a number higher than 5, don't eat it.

Take chromium picholonate (SP?).
Maintain a good pace.My poor executive function interferes with my getting enough exercise, but I was trying to qualify
as a wild land firefighter, that gave me a goal (test is 3 miles in 45 minutes with a 45 pound pack).

Do you like gardening? When I had a full size garden,I lost that much every summer.

They say to find something you enjoy, so you will stay with it.

Actually, not such practical advice when yourr watching a little sister,is it?
