It can be easy to forget why you are trying to lose weight. Like many, you may have had a lot of motivation right at the beginning, but found your determination flagging after a bit. This is the time frame that separates the men from the boys (so to speak). It’s important to learn how others who have succeeded before you have done it. How are they achieving these great results and maintaining their fitness?
When you have decided to lose weight, the first step is to identify your specific goals. For instance, do you want to go from a size 12 to a size 8 or simply get back to the weight that you were before your clothes became uncomfortably tight? Are you thinking about the goals you have? Is it your goal to raise your energy level and get in shape?
Set a goal to keep track of your progress every week. You should record what your weight is every week, and record your food intake everyday. Keeping a food journal of everything that you eat is an excellent way to see what dieting changes you need to make.
It’s a fact, you will eat at some point today! You should not wait until you are starving to choose what you are going to eat. Arm yourself in advance! Pack a lunch and carry snacks with you. Consider the financial savings you can realize by skipping trips to restaurants. Making an eating plan for all of your meals and sticking to it will assure successful weight loss.
Successful weight loss includes not only a healthy diet, but also a good workout routine. Find the workout that you enjoy doing the most, and do it at least 3 times a week. If you are having trouble exercising, try breaking it into smaller blocks or incorporate your exercise into the things you enjoy doing. Go for a walk with your girlfriends when you get together. You should consider taking a dance class if you enjoy dancing. If hiking is your thing, then hit a new trail every week!
If you have junk food in the cupboards, it makes it extremely hard to resist it when temptation strikes. However, following the same logic, we can determine that when the refrigerator is full of healthy, nutritious snacks, then that is what you will reach for. Stock your pantry with lots of healthy alternatives to junk food, such as veggies, fruits, and healthy, low-fat snack foods. If you do not have junk food in your cupboards you will be less likely to overinduldge. You will find it easier to break your junk food habits when you make nutritious alternatives handy and keep the unhealthy stuff out of reach.
Enlist the support of your friends during your weight loss journey. Weight loss is ultimately up to you, but it is very helpful to have support from friends and family to help keep you motivated. Your friends are there to help you stay motivated.
