3500 calories are in 1 pound. Therefore, if you want to lose 1 pound per week, you need to drop 500 calories per day. You can drop calories by either decreasing how many calories you eat, or by exercising more. I try to drop about 250 with exercise each day and 250 with eating every day. I have been watching my calorie intake for a few months now and I have lost 12 pounds.
Good luck!

You need a deficit of 3500 calories a week to lose one to two pounds a week. That means that you either have to burn 500 calories through exercise, or eat 500 calories less each day, or a combination of the two.
