Lasting weight loss can sometimes seem unattainable. A common pitfall for new exercisers is that they overdo it and then the pain the next day keeps them from continuing. What are the obstacles preventing you from losing weight?
It is critical to set a goal to strive for once you decide to work on losing weight. Are you looking to shed lots of pounds, or do you just want to reclaim clothing that has not been worn for many years? Or would you like to improve your overall health and fitness levels? Setting goals gives you a solid point in the future to look forward to. Without set goals, you will be less likely to stay with your weight loss program.
Having to stare your progress (or lack thereof) in the face is one way to keep yourself on track. Keep a log of every single piece of food that you consume in a journal. To be sure that you are eating calories within a healthy range count up the totals at the end of each day. Record your weekly weight in the same journal. Graphs are very helpful to use in a weight loss diary.
It can be really hard to make wise choices about what to eat when you starved. Therefore, you should plan ahead what you are going to eat. Have some healthy snacks with you at all times. Pack a healthy lunch and brown-bag it instead of eating out to both save money and enjoy a more nutritious meal.
A successful weight loss plan includes a nutritionally balanced, delicious food plan and enjoyable exercise. By committing to exercising at least a few times each week, you are ensuring you are getting the physical activity you need to stay fit. Exercise does not have to be in the gym or structured activities. In fact, social or family activities can provide just as much health benefit as structured exercise. Take a walk, ride a bike, or play an active game. All of these activities will get your blood circulating and put you on the path to improved fitness.
If you only have healthy foods at home then that is what you can expect to eat. Fill your house with foods that are good for your body, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Do not buy food that you know you should not eat. Do not buy any junk food to ensure that you will not be tempted to eat it.
Ask your friends for help. Your true friends will be glad to answer. If you are surrounded by an encouraging support group then it is easy to stay on track. They can provide you with the right nudge to keep you going. If things aren’t going well, reach out to your friends for support.
