Cross Training Questions - im confused about the whole weight loss thing... i dont know where to start?!?

im confused about the whole weight loss thing... i dont know where to start?!?

I only want to drop one size but I have noooo idea how... Im currently a US size 7/8 (An Australian 11/12) but I really want to get to a US size 4/6 (An Australian 9/10). Just not sure how to go about it....? Also, Im just at the very end of the normal BMI range so thats why I want to start now... I want be proactive about getting healthy. So, I try to mix everything up a bit in regards to exercise. I do a 45 minute brisk walk with my two dogs and a 25 minute cross training workout by Jeanette Jenkins. I also have an exercise bike and do about 30 minutes on that. But will that even work, is that even enough? Can anyone PLEASE tell me how I can get to a US 4/6? Oh, would really appreciate it if someone could give me a diet plan and an exercise plan or diet plan... Im really lost about everything and dont want to do it wrong incase i gain weight! EEK. Thanks <3

Don't diet, just eat wright. What that means is loose the sugar and sweets. Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Salad with Olive oil and vinegar for dressing. Stay away from animal fat and processed foods. Drink a good processed water. Stay away from dairy. That is the basics for any one weather you are trying to loose weight and be healthy as well or just want to be healthy.
do cardio exercise, yoga, pilates its great to burn fat and it will tone ur body as well, drink 8-10 glasses of water U should have a healthy balanced diet have more fibre and protein in your diet they keep you full and energized and you should have small meal every 3 hours and don’t eat before 3 hrs of going to bed. check this site for article on how to increase metabolism, soup the hunger satiated, fat burning foods, lazy way to lose weight, high protein diet and fibre and more fibre this should get you started and very easy to follow with great results

I'm guessing Lys that you would do very well on 1500 calories a day. Most women at those Weight Watcher meetings I attend are on anywhere from 1200-1600 calories a day. What your dilemma requires is limiting your input. The best way to do that is to count your calories (Weight Watchers use the point system and count points: 50 calories is one point). If you decide to follow Weight Watcher guidelines you would do nicely on 30 points a day. If you find yourself gaining weight or remaining stagnant drop a few points from your intake. I've lost 38 pounds with Weight Watchers and am now at my goal weight. It works.
here is what my dietician suggests - follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50% veg, 25% carb, 25% protein.this will prevent cravings too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit (ideally berries) or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.Lose a kilo a week. that is permanent loss. pick an exercise regime you like. get a pedometer and take 10,000 steps everyday.
