Decide how much weight you would like to lose. Then keep in mind that it takes a deficit of approximately 3500 calories to lose one pound.

If you are more than a few pounds overweight, you'll be surprised at how quickly you can burn 500 calories through exercise. There are exercises that burn fat quickly and efficiently.
