Want to move the number on the scale? You'll need to do some calorie math. Let our weight loss calculator tell you how quickly you can expect to peel off the pounds.

Losing weight isn't easy but knowing how much activity it takes to lose even 1 lb is great information to start you down the path to lose 5lbs or even lose 10 lbs. Use our application to find out now. It's quick easy and best of all free!

How it works: For every pound you want to lose, you'll need to eliminate 3,500 calories--through eating less, working out more or, better yet, a combination of the two. The good news-- Your body burns energy just by staying alive (each person's amount varies), so cutting a few hundred calories through diet and exercise will be enough to push most people toward a slimmer size.

Not losing weight? You may be underestimating the number of calories you eat in any given day. Track your meals and calculate your calories burned working out using our free Fitness Tracker tool

Health Disclaimer We recommend trimming your intake to 1,500 calories per day--no fewer, since eating too little can throw your metabolism out of whack. To drop weight faster, ramp up your activity. You'll burn more energy, which will bump up your calorie deficit. Start with one of our You Can Do It! weight loss plans to drop 10 pounds in 4 weeks.

I think the best way to lose weight is by watching that we eat a healthier diet and to get moving. I choose to use some best fitness DVDS to keep myself moving. Its best to preview them first to make sure that you will like them. I do this by getting them at the library. If I like them then I go buy them. What I like best about fitness DVDs is that I can have a great variety because I get bored easily. We must learn how to eat healthy too though http://revupforfitness.com/

I find it really difficult to believe anything that is published by a magazine when such a ridiculous spelling error was made multiple times in the app. How did it get by the proofreaders and editors? The word is "lose" not "loose".

I lost 11 lbs in 10 days so far. http://bagby.bodybyvi.com/ I'm a grandmother in my 40s. My husband found a total gym at a yard sale and I have been using that as well, since my knees can't handle too much.
