Answer 1

if you go to the food pyramid web site mypyramid.gov and sign up for a profile (it's free)-you can enter an activity, ex, housework, hair care, showering...ect., and it will tell you how many calories daily activities burn.

Answer 2

LEG LIFTS!!!!!!!! THEY REALLY WORK!!!!!



I did too many and my abdominal area hurts and i feel like I'm gonna puke, but I LOST 1 POUND TODAY DOING LEG LIFTS!!!!!!

all you have to do is follow these steps to do them:
(Oh yea, I used this answer on another one of my accounts)

1. Lie on your back (on the floor;use a pillow if you want)
2. Keep legs straight and together
3. Lift legs off the ground 6inches (no more no less)
4. keep them up for 10 seconds
5. put them down for 5 seconds at most.
6. Then do 3 sets of 10! (or rather, 30 of em)

If you do it correctly, you'll feel stomach PAIN! But, as the saying goes: No Pain, No Gain!

PS: 12 pounds is the maximum you should lose in one month.

PPS: If you exercise a lot, and are VERY overweight, you might lose a lot more than that, I mean I exercised for 2 hours playing DDR with my sis, and I lost 3 pounds! Oh! and I did do a few of them there crunches. :P

PPPS: A good site for any type of goal is: www.43things.com
There are real people who are basicly trying to accomplish the same goals as you. It really helps. You can ask advice and everything. They will help.


Hope I helped!

(BTW: I trying to accomplish the same goal as you.)

Answer 3

I've heard good things about mopping! Washing your car can be kinda good exercise too. You could try just casually lifting weights or jumping rope or jogging in place while watching tv too, instead of just sitting there.
