I am only about 20-30lbs overweight. I don't have lots of money to get health food, but I'm thinking if I do these things that I can lose weight just fine:

Exercise 5 days a week.
Eat smaller meals, spaced out 5 times a day.
No soda... just water and green tea.
No very unhealthy foods (ice cream, etc)
One apple a day...

Small things like that. Has anyone ever tried a similar approach? How did it work? I thought about finding out what my caloric requirements are, etc... but that approach seems like too much work, considering I have a limited amount of food to choose from.

Hopefully I will have money to get good food about the time i get to a decent weight... so I can keep it off!
