Answer 1

To be successful in keeping to an exercise program, you going to have to define results. Results for most mean weight on a scale, a dress size, the number of pounds on a bench press, and your waist size. I challenge you to think in abstracts. Results, all the time? Yes! It just may not come in the form you are looking for on the surface. You can break the type of results into three categories: emotional, internal and external.

EMOTIONAL

I believe more important than waistline measurements, personal bench press records or reading whatever the scale says, is what exercise does for you emotionally. For me, it was self-confidence and self- esteem. I will do this for life because I do not want to go back to the person I once was. For you, it may be a feeling of being productive. Or because you are doing something for you and no one else.

INTERNAL

Internal results come in the form of vital signs, such as lower blood pressure, and a decrease in body fats, cholesterols and triglycerides. Of course, these are important, but do not look just at the typical attributes.

EXTERNAL

These are results you are accustomed to achieving. It is something we can see or touch. Pants are fitting loser, arms are looking toned, and numbers on the scales are going down. At times it is a lot easier to get motivated by those things we can see, rather than all that is going on inside. Personally, I have seen more people stick with a program if they focus on the emotional and internal results, more than the external. The outside results may motivate you in the beginning, but it is the INSIDE OUT approach that keeps you going.

With a common sense approach to diet and weight loss, results will come. There are no secrets as to what types of food are healthy and which are not. The internet offers many research solutions for those questions we have about particular foods. Overall, common sense rules the dieting game. The foods we eat, and maybe more importantly how we eat them, have a direct impact on how our bodies are able to properly digest the food.

There are some tips to remember when losing weight. They are easy tips to remember and they always come down to common sense.

* You are what you eat. This is the most important fact to remember when you are in the grocery store. Check the ingredient labels for words you cannot pronounce. If there are many, don’t buy

* Fruits and vegetables. Mothers have been preaching this for years. This has not changed. Raw fruits and veggies are full of nutrients that are gifts to your system.

* Control food portions. By controlling the amount of food you eat at meals, you are able to eat what you want, just a little less.

* Take food classes. There are many classes available at grocery stores and community education outlets. They are inexpensive or free. Learning new ways to prepare meals gives us the edge in healthier menu planning.

* Any exercise will do. Regardless of your athletic ability, find exercises that get you out of the house. Walking for thirty to sixty minutes a day will get your blood flowing and metabolism rising.

* Drink water. Many reports indicate that most of us are overly dehydrated. Water helps our endocrine systems eliminate toxins in our bodies. Eight to ten eight ounce glasses will keep you energized throughout the day.

* Take a break. A short nap or meditating for fifteen minutes allows your body to rest. Pushing ourselves to much increases stress which may cause many of us to eat, or our bodies to shut down.

Changing your diet is not an overnight formula for success. It takes hard work and dedication to get serious results, but following a common sense plan is a great start. Learn more about foods and develop a passion for a healthy lifestyle. You’ll learn that you really can succeed and enjoy yourself at the same time. Don’t feel guilty by eating certain foods, just don’t overindulge. A happy lifestyle is just around the corner, so embrace life and get the most out of it.

well for me I'd exercise. But don't strain yourself! it's not that hard just do at least 30 minutes of exrcise a day, take the stairs instead of the lift, do simple streching exercises when you're free or sitting on a chair with nothing to do. oh and try not to eat to much fat fertilizing foods. and when you reach you're goal weight do not start gorging on food again. good luck with your image change.
