Start Losing Weight Today!
Posted by admin
There’s no real secret to losing weight other than eat less and exercise more. I can almost hear a lot of your say; “But I have no time to exercise!” This isn’t entirely accurate because there are lots of exercising opportunities if you only think outside the box.
Consider these few ideas.
1. Park your car the farthest away from the store or mall. A few extra steps will go a long way to adding some great exercise to your daily life. It never ceases to amaze me when people will continue to circle a parking lot looking for a close parking space so they can go into an exercise club. We all need to be aware of exercising opportunities that will get us away from sitting behind a desk in front of a computer and out and about.
2. Take the stairs. Look for opportunities to use stairways, instead of elevators and escalators. Stairs are a good cardiovascular workout can be found in any building higher than one floor. If you work in a multi-story building and cannot climb all the stairs to your office, start with one or two flights and work up from there. The key point is to start today that exercise to your life
3. Do your own vacuuming and housecleaning. If you’re like most of us and have children, you’ve no doubt outsourced some of the more mundane housecleaning chores like vacuuming. Consider taking that job back, as part of your exercise routine. Think about it, moving an object back and forth across the carpet offers a good exercise for your upper body. Simply vacuum one room using your right hand then switch to the left in the next room. Add to this that you’ll no doubt be bending to pick up stuff left by the kids, and you have a good opportunity for exercise.
4. Gardening is another exercise that shouldn’t be ignored. Mowing the lawn, like vacuuming inside the home, can give a great mini workout.
Adding little things like these exercise opportunities to your life can help increase your metabolism and generally make you feel better. No matter what the weight loss program were diet plan you prefer, all require exercise for success. Every extra activity that you add to your daily routine will help burn calories. Burned calories translate into more weight lost over the same period of time.
The adage to simply eat less and exercise more is the basis for all weight loss plans and programs. Although many products have been designed that promise fast and easy weight loss, they only work to help support the eat less and exercise more mantra.
Don’t make the mistake of wanting to lose weight without the commitment to make the changes necessary in your lifestyle. 95% of the people who are successful with their weight loss program that do not work on the lifestyle changes will end up gaining all their weight back.
If this is you, don’t become discouraged or disillusioned. Maintaining a healthy weight is a lifelong commitment that many of us work at daily. If you cheat on your diet or your weight loss isn’t what you expected for the week, or you just took that close in parking space, don’t beat yourself up about it. Successful dieting is long term in one day does not a failure make

How do I start losing weight starting today?!?
I am about 200 lbs 5 ‘4. A friend of mine and me both bet to whoever would lose the most weight starting today until June 30th. i need a whole diet plan, and work out regimend. i need help!!!!
Change your diet.. Eat lots of vegetables, fruit and lean meats… Do lots of cardio, tempo walking, running, jogging and try to do as much weight training as possible.. do about an hour a day and you should see results

It is great to have friend you can be accountable and work to a goal. Nothing makes someone lose weight faster than competing with a good friend- unless you have a high school reunion coming up.
As always, diet and exercise are the key.
As for diet, try eating 6 smaller meals a day with a protein shake for breakfast and lunch. A single serving of fruit for mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack. Dinner should be a sensible meal- minimize rice and breads. Try this for a two-week period. Then, vary your meals accordingly.
Workouts should have weights and circuit type of training. Free weights are great for toning and weight-loss. You can try dumbbell squats with shoulder presses. Here is a great and effective circuit training using a treadmill. Walk for 2 minutes (as a warm-up), jog for 2 minutes, run hard for a minute, then jog for 2 minutes, run hard for a minute, etc…do this for about 20-23 minutes. This works great.
You will need to shift and change your exercise to continually to get results. This is called muscle confusion.
By the way, do not be a slave to scale. Check the mirror also. It will show results.
This is just a start. Keep working out and eating properly.
Good Luck.

You need to reset your mindset on food. Eat to live and not live to eat.
1. Eat smaller portions
2. Make better food choices and experiment
3. Start exercise by simply going for long walks

hmmm… without being too strict about a diet so that you can stick with it for the duration….. may be kinda hard.
first things first, is i would start by drinking more water, and skipping calorie laden drinks and even diet sodas. BUT even i need a soda every once in a while, so i limit it to 1 glass (8 oz) of diet soda when the craving hits. try to drink water more often.
adding more fruits and vegetables into your diet is another big thing. and if you do the salads- skip the fatty dressings! try some vinagerettes, or even just some squeezed lemon olive oil and vinegar. adding more fruits and vegetables into your diet will also add fiber- making you feel fuller longer. not to mention the health benefits of the vitamins and minerals they all provide!
stick to lean meats. lean chicken, lean beef, fish, turkey…. and when cooking, don’t deep fry or saturate in oils and butter. a little bit of olive oil to flavor a little goes a long way!
what i started doing is to change something about my diet every week. like the first week i cut out sodas. the second week i tried to cut my portions down a little bit. the third week i ate fruit for breakfast and as a late night snack instead of snacky crap. then i cut out more snacky stuff like chips, candy and chocolate. if i get the sudden urge to have any of those things, i portion out the correct portion (i try to keep the portion to NO MORE than 150 calories) and i’ll have it. a little bit of something tastes just as good as a lot of it.
i also try to keep track of my calories. i try to stick with about 300-400 calories per meal, and 100-200 for snacks. i’m going on about 1400 calories per day.
for you, i would start at about 1500-1600 calories per day and see how you feel. if you still feel good, knock off another 100 calories. if you don’t feel good, and you’re tired or really weak add 100 calories. you don’t want to feel like doo-doo because then you won’t stick to the diet.
now on to exercise!
start by taking a walk after dinner! sometimes i’ll go for a walk during my lunch break- if time permits! start out slow though- go for like 10-15 min each walk, and then add 5 minutes every week, or every other week depending on how you feel. if it’s hard for you- thats alright! once you get through it you’ll have a feeling of accomplishment!
if walking is too easy, you can incorporate running (but i wouldn’t run after dinner- i’d wait at least an hour after i ate, or do it first thing in the morning before you eat breakfast!) try to run for 30 seconds, then walk for 3minutes and repeat a few times. when it gets easy, add time onto your running until you can run for the whole time period. may take a little while, but just keep working at it!
you can also swap days, like walk one day, run/walk the next.
also, you can team up with her to workout! the competition will keep you both motivated, not to mention working out with some one keeps you motivated also! you’ll find that it’s easier to workout sometimes when there is some one there with you.
i wish you luck!

i also wanted to add!!!
losing weight might not be the goal- maybe you guys can measure each other before and after! like hips, bust, biceps, thighs, neck and waist. like said before- it’s not just about the weight- check the measurements!
jog for thirty minutes 4 times per week. walk the other 3 days for 45 min. drink lots of water. DONT do sit ups till you loose at least 20 lbs. or you will stay bulky
