500cal/d deficit: Congratulations on starting an exercise program. Remember to change your eating habits even as you add exercise to your daily routine. Aim for expending at least 500cal/d more than you consume so that you're down 3, 500cal/wk or 1 pound/wk. If you want to lose 2 pounds/wk, aim for a deficit of 1, 000cal/d each & every day. Eat a bit less & exercise a bit more. Remember, slow & steady wins the race.
