A document discusses the various activities needed to lose one pound of weight for a 35-year-old 150 pound woman, including jogging for over 7 hours, doing housework for nearly 18 hours, eating 14 fewer packages of M&Ms per week, or skipping her regular 4 scoops of ice cream each night for a week. Losing a pound generally requires reducing daily calorie intake by 500 calories.
