With exercise, about 80% of results are going to come from your diet. I am not the best at dieting, but one way to really keep things in check is to track EVERYTHING you consume.
I downloaded a new app on my iPhone to help me track that. It's called "My Fitness Pal". I've heard about this from a hew friends who have used it before, and a lot of people claim that it is fool-proof and very easy to navigate. I downloaded it, and thus far I am satisfied with it. It has a vast database of food selections to select from, or you can even create your own.
You can input your activity/exercises that you have done to track the calories you have burned as well as consumed. I don't really like to input my calories burned because it will automatically up your daily calorie allowance, which I don't like to eat the calories I burned. It almost seems redunant to me. But the program will need you to answer a few questions (height, weight, age, goal weight, how many lbs a week you're wanting to lose, etc.) and it will determine how many calories you need to eat everyday.
You can use it online at: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/
My Fitness Pal is available for download on all Android, iPhone, and Blackberry mobile devices. And the app is FREE!
