It is easy to feel determined and motivated at the beginning of your new weight loss plan. However, many become discouraged when they don’t see results as soon as they had expected. Why can some people maintain their weight after losing it? They must know some type of magic trick that allows them to do this! What might this secret be?
Figuring out your weight loss goals and setting a number for how much weight you want to lose comes first. Do you hope to shed those last 10 pounds that have been bugging you, or are you planning on a dramatic, lifestyle changing weight loss? Think about why you want to lose weight. Know what your weight loss goals are. It can be as specific as a set amount of weight you want to lose, or as general as overall fitness.
Set a goal to keep track of your progress every week. Check your weight weekly, and maintain a food journal. Recording our decisions makes us more conscious of those decisions.
Don’t allow yourself to be hungry all the time. This will make you more likely to binge on unhealthy foods. Try to avoid being hungry without a healthy solution. Create a food plan for yourself before you get hungry. Any time you leave you should take your snacks with you. Take a brown bag lunch each day going forward. Doing this will help you save money, in addition to protecting that waistline.
The most effective way to lose weight is to combine a healthy diet with increased physical activity. Exercising at least 3 times a week is great, while exercising every day is not essential. Do not let boredom get a hold of you, take every opportunity to make having fun your primary goal. If you are a fan of dancing, taking a class is a great way to workout while still having fun.
Get rid of all the unhealthy food from your kitchen. Stock your pantry with only healthy food that’s good for you so that it’s all you’ll have to eat. If you make it difficult to get your hands on the high calorie junk food, it will be far less appealing and you will not eat as much of it.
It is important to have support when you are losing weight. Although nobody can drop the weight for you, having motivational support will help you on your way. When you feel like giving up, a simple call to a person in your support network can make all the difference in the world.
