Sometimes we think achieving lasting weight loss isn’t in the cards for us. Good intentions aren’t always enough to overcome the frustration of those sore muscles from your first workouts. What are the obstacles preventing you from losing weight?
Determining your weight loss goals should be the first step in your plan. You need to make up your mind and decide if you want to lose weight or just tone your body. Is there a target weight that you want your body to have? Or would you like to increase your energy and physical endurance levels?
Write everything down to keep track of how you are doing. To keep yourself less stressed about weight loss, weigh yourself only once per week. Weighing yourself every day or more than once a week can contribute to anxiety if you are not seeing results. You should keep track of all of the foods you consume and their calorie count in a food diary. This should include any snacks and beverages. Simply writing down what you eat and drink can prevent you from making poor choices.
Do not wait until hunger strikes before you make decisions about food. If you let yourself get too hungry, it is hard to make healthy food choices. Make sure you have healthy foods on hand all the time. Bring your own lunch to avoid eating out. Home cooking not only benefits your checkbook, but it also allows you to eat things you want that are actually healthy for you.
For your weight loss plan, be sure that you have a good work out plan as well as a healthy diet. For steady weight loss, try a combination of diet and exercise. You can also have fun by doing activities that involve exercise. When you find it too hard to get started when you work out, try to find someone to take walks with. Get your family out and about and stay active with bike rides and hikes in the woods. You won’t even think about the fact that you’re exercising!
Don’t leave tempting but unhealthy treats in your house. Remove all unhealthy choices and you will not give into temptation. If you make it difficult to grab and eat unhealthy, fat-filled junk food, you will soon find yourself resisting the urge to consume it.
Look to 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. Good friends push you when you lose motivation. Make sure to give them a call on your particularly bad days.
