How to burn 3,000 calories a day
It’s not really a secret, but the secret to weight loss is: eat less, move more. I’ve got the move more portion nailed. A typical day for me starts after going to bed at 10:00pm the night before. Stats all courtesy of my mother’s Body Bugg. Thanks Mom!

I use Calorie Count, a free service from About.com to track my daily calories and I highly recommend it to anyone who would like to lose any amount of weight. They really break down the science of losing weight and make it suddenly not seem so unmanageable.
