I am about 4 ft 11 in and I weigh 163 lbs.
I've checked my body mass index on several health websites online & found that I'm about 76 lbs. over-weight.
I want to change that and reach a healthy weight & life style.
I've tried several times in the past, but have had great difficulty with changing, although this time I think I've found a plan.
Here are my main problems:
1. I have a sedentary life style
- I need ideas for physical activities that I can do indoors, mainly due to where I live.
-Also, I have an extremely hectic schedule, so it's difficult to fit in time for exercise.
-The most I could fit is maybe 30 minutes a day on weekdays, and about 1 - 2 hours on weekends if I'm lucky.
2. My meal portions are much too large
- I have no idea how big each portion is supposed to be.
- I don't know how to count/keep track of my calorie intake.
3. Once I reach my healthy weight (87 lbs) what should my daily calorie intake be (sedentary life-style)?

I've done some cross referencing and found that I'm actually 73 lbs. overweight.
My Healthy Weight is supposed to be 90 lbs.
I weigh 163 right now.

Actually, 1-2 pounds per week is considered a safe, realistic and healthy goal. Losing 5 pounds per week is not impossible if you are very over weight. Larger people tend to burn more calories when given the same workout routine as their smaller counterparts. Aim for a 1-2 pound per week weight loss. The slower you take it off the more likely you will keep it off. Good luck and best wishes.
