Beauty, this is a reply I sent to another person asking the same question.
You can safely lose about 2 lbs per week with proper diet and exercise. You may lose a little faster in the first few weeks as well. Your cardio exercise will help you lose weight but not necessarily fat.
The best way to lose fat is to gain lean muscle. This is done by resistance or weight training. When you lift weights, you build muscle. Muscle is the best calorie burner there is.
There is a post in the nutritional section Its called grocery list for the body builder. That is what you eat. Fill out your nutritional profile here at FT and it will tell you how much to eat.
Fill out an exercise profile and pick one of the programs here that meets your needs. Then fill out your personal profile and tell us about yourself and your goals. It helps us to help you
I promise you that if you make proper eating and exercise a lifestyle instead of a short term goal , you will get where you want to go.
Good luck and welcome to FT. Keep coming back.
