Wow, I have been so great with my weight loss now a vacation how to keep weight loss going
How to Lose Weight While on Vacation
Keeping Your Diet on Track on Vacation
Following a weight loss program while you're home and doing your usual daily routine is one thing, but trying to keep on your diet while on a vacation is something else entirely! A lot of times, people just decide to put the diet goals aside while on vacation, but frequently that means they won't get back on the wagon when they get home. All those good intentions go out the window just because of one week off.
But it needn't be this way! If you stay commited to your diet and follow these tips, you should be able to lose weight even on a vacation. You don't need to completely derail your weight loss goals while taking a break from work and visiting new places.
But it needn't be this way! If you stay commited to your diet and follow these tips, you should be able to lose weight even on a vacation. You don't need to completely derail your weight loss goals while taking a break from work and visiting new places.
Hotel and Restaurant Meals
When you are eating at unfamiliar restaurants or ordering room service at your hotel, you frequently have no idea how much fat a food contains, or how much sugar has been added to the sauce served to you. You also have no idea of the portion sizes of the foods that you are served. All of these can pose a hazard to your health and can negatively affect your weight loss goals. Now, here are some tips for you to overcome this problem:
Pack Your Own Lunch
If it is possible, then prepare your lunch at home and carry it to your destination. Or else, find some healthy foods in the area where you are vacationing. Remember that homemade sandwiches are usually far better for you than that juicy bacon cheeseburger served by your hotel.
Does your hotel room have a mini-fridge? Use that to store some basic sandwich fixings and breakfast food and skip the breakfast buffet table in the mornings.

Plan Your Meals Online
Most restaurants nowadays have an online presence. If you do a little research, you are likely to find elaborate information regarding the menus of your favorite restaurant. Pick and choose what you want to eat and plan your meals accordingly. Inow what you are going to order from the menu before you actually sit down at the restaurant. In my opinion, this is the best way to keep your weight in check.
Planning on eating at one of your hotel's restaurants? Frequently, their will be a copy of the menu for each restaurant in your room. Look it over before heading downstairs to the restaurant and make your healthy selection before you get there.
Just because you are on a tour doesn't mean that you cannot lose weight. As you can see, you don't need to break your weight loss pledge because there are different ways to keep your body weight and diet in check.

Use a Pedometer on Vacation
Exercise Daily
Too many people make the mistake of throwing out their exercise schedule while on vacation, but you can spend your time more wisely. Take advantage of some of the opportunites you may not have at home.
Most hotels, and even cruise ships, have their own gym. Visit there and do some exercises. Or if your hotel doesn't offer that facility, find a gym that is nearest to your hotel, and exercise regularly there. Instead of watching TV in the evening after a day of shopping, why don't you take a refreshing swim in your hotel's swimming pool?
If you do nothing, then at least make it a point to walk everyday for thirty minutes or more! You'd be able to lose a lot of weight simply by walking regularly early in the morning or getting out there and hitting the pavement as a tourist. Go on a walking tour or spend some time exploring a new city on foot.

Do you take vitamins? What you need to know before you buy
Vitamins can be pretty cheap to very costly and what do you need to know before you buy them.
I like to take whole food vitamins in small doses split up in different times of the day. To reduce costs avoid ingredients the tend to add costs without any real benefits like primrose oil and try to buy in bulk.
It may also surprise you that time-released supplements dissolve so slowly that they usually are not totally absorbed...think of how food is passed through our digestive track. A better choice is to split up your multivitamin into smaller does throughout the day.
As for specific times to take them is not as important as to take them with food so you absorb as much of them as possible. Also keep in mind that calcium supplements and multivitamins with iron compete for absorption and should be taken separately.(I take my vitamin D with my vitamin K and calcium/magnesium at night because I think it helps me sleep better and less muscle fatigue.Keep in mind that the fat soluble vitamins can reach toxicity easier so don't over do it.

I love Smoothies and think they are awesome
Let's face it I would love to eat all my meals and snacks freshly prepared but it is not an option for me a this time. I do however love and think smoothies are awesome. Weekday mornings I make a smoothie that give me energy and I don't have to drink coffee or suffer hunger pains all morning. Here is a great fall smoothie recipes by the Juicing Shack and Juliana Weiss.( I love watering down yogurt or making almond milk for my smoothies)
This is a fun and frothy beverage that your whole family will enjoy. If you’re looking to lower the calories, try it with skim milk instead of whole milk.
3 cups cold milk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
3 sliced bananas
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Blend until thick and frothy. Serve in chilled glasses… or a cleaned out pumpkin!
Want some more great ideas and information Click Here!
You may be suprised about where you can find items for weight loss
There are many big box stores like Walmart, Meijer, Target, Cosco and Sam's Club ...etc. They are starting to get into the idea people would like healthier choices. For instance, the Meijer store by me sells organic produce at a good price and carries gluten free products and organic dairy as well. I was surprised however when shopping at Sam's Club yesterday that I checked out the Naked products in their own cooler set aside from the other items, actually the cooler was located right after the ice cream freezers. I was surprised that they offers many items and again at a great price. I purchased the Green Machine 64 oz juice for less than 6 dollars! Now I have something easy to add to my morning smoothie that tastes great and is so good for you. (you can check out what is in Green Machine here http://fresh.amazon.com/product?asin=B003QAJ77S&qid=null and did notice the price of $8.49!)
So keep you eye and options open as you may be able to make great choices at cheaper prices/costs to you!
Have a great day.

What you eat after a workout makes a difference Workout Nutrition
Ask yourself your goal with your workouts.
If you are training for just a little fat loss and not to hard with endurance or muscle building you can skip the post workout drink/meal altogether.If you're not actually trying to grow muscles, change the way that their muscle fibers perform under endurance conditions, simply eating a healthy whole food meal is recommended instead.
But if you want to train very hard then you should go with a fast digesting protein and carbohydrate drink in a ratio of 2 protein for 1 carbohydrate and drink this during your training. This will help boost performance by providing the nutrients are available for repair and recovery.
Protein synthesis means we’re building up new proteins in the body, and glycogen means that we have a completely topped off muscle energy gas tank, if you will, for high performance the next time we get to the gym or where ever you work out.For even more help and information Click Here!

Get going and get the Kids involved
How much time do you spend watching TV? Well, almost 1/2 of kids spend 2 hours a day watching TV The problem is that every added hour kids watch TV increased a child's odds of having attention problems at age 7 by 10%. Kids who watched 3 hours a day between 1 and 3 were 30% more likely to have attention trouble at age 7 versus those who watched no TV.
Well, if is not good for kids is it probably not good for adults as well but there is more. Here are some of the other negatives of kids watching TV:
The notion that kids watch far too much TV is a no-brainer, literally. My strong recommendation is to minimize TV watching to no more than a few hours per WEEK, as a short attention span is only the beginning of the problem with TV. Here are some of the other negatives of kids watching TV:
* TV will change your child's views and food choices
* TV will make your kids fat
* Make your kids more materialistic
* Cause your children to go into more debt as adults
* TV will cause your children to be more aggressive
* May lead to smoking
* Will increase your child's risk of becoming seriously injured
So as harmless as it seems you get better benefits for other activities and burn to calories along the way and bond with you kids or friends even.

What is so easy a 2-3 year old can do it and 10 reason why to do it
Walking — just 30 brisk minutes, five days a week — is so good, according to the AARP and The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.

How to Keep From Eating All the Halloween Candy--Try It For Other Cravings As Well
The stores begin stocking bags of Halloween candy long before October 31. Many people purchase their treats before the holiday but begin to snack on them only to buy more candy for the holiday. Below are some ideas for helping to make Halloween less expensive, less fattening, and to encourage healthier habits.
People who wait to purchase Halloween candy on Halloween are more likely to get the treats in the trick-or-treaters bags than in the hands…and stomachs of the purchasers. Waiting until that evening to purchase candy may prove quite helpful. This might also prove helpful if the weather turns frightful on Halloween, which could drastically decrease the number of expected trick-or-treaters and resulting candy purchase.
Many kids cannot eat Halloween candy, so another option would be to buy another type treat for Halloween. Stickers, hand stamps, small books, school supplies, art supplies, toys, handmade cards or gifts, and many other options are out there.

Consider Buying Halloween Treats as Late as Possible or Foregoing Candy all together.
Better yet forgo the candy and get Halloween pretzel bags to give out instead.

If you do this you can lose weight without sweating or having a perfect diet
In a large study by Care Western University, Ohio that monitored nearly 70,000 women for 15 years about getting a good night sleep. What they found my surprise you.
What is a good night sleep? They compared women over medium and long term who got 5 hours or fewer regularly to moment who managed to get regularly 7 hours sleep on their weight.
The findings were interesting.The group who sleeped up to 5 hours were more likely to add 33lb over a 16 year period which is 30% more likely when compared to the women sho managed to get 7 hours each night. Also, the light sleepers have a significantly higher risk becoming obese.
The kicker is the researchers found that sleeping patterns had a much greater influence on women's long term weight that Eating Habits and Physical Activity!
The group of women that slept 5 hours or less weighed 5.4 lbs more at the start of the study than the group that got 7 hours or more. They also put on 1.6 pounds more EACH year than the good sleepers.
So over time the 1.6 pounds can really add up. The difference increases between the groups over a 20-30 year period about 32lbs over 20 years.
How is this possible? The reasearchers said that hormones which regulate appetite are affected after just a few nights of sleep restriction. What is surprising is that those who sleep less actually eat less than those who get adequate sleep. This shows that sleep is a much greater contributor to your long term weight than diet.
Also, they that people who sleep well fidget more during their waking hours which helps burn more calories. It is also most likely that hormones are tweaked in such a way as a result of how much we sleep - and this has a bearing on how many calories we burn off each day.
Ask any professional sportsperson what the secret of top fitness is, and they will all say it is a combination of good training, eating the right foods and sleeping well - get one of those three factors wrong and you seriously undermine your chances of weight loss and preformance.

Losing Weight the Healthy Way and Stary Today!
Almost 108 million Americans were overweight or obese in 1999. Until now, obesity continues to be a serious problem and is predicted to reach epidemic levels by the year 2020.
One way to prevent this scenario is to make people aware of the risks of being overweight or obese.
Here are some diseases that you are putting yourself in risk of if you are carrying a lot of extra pounds:
Losing weight helps to prevent and control these diseases.
The quick weight loss methods which have spread like fire these days do not provide lasting results. More often than not, dieting methods which involve dietary drinks, foods and supplement or pills do not work. If they do, the results are just temporary.
It is better to rely on a healthy weight loss option which will provide lifetime results. You have to set realistic goals and not expect to lose a lot of pounds in a short span of time.
Here are some tips on how you can lose those unwanted pounds the healthy way:
1. Do not starve your self.
The key to a healthier way of losing weight is: Do not diet.
You may seem happy and feel that you are losing those unwanted flabs on your belly and thighs by skipping meals. But remember that this would not last long. Your body cannot tolerate having insufficient food to fuel the energy that you use up everyday.
If you get used to skipping one or two meals a day, your stored calories will be used up instead of the energy that should have been provided by your meals. So if you just eat one huge sandwich in one day, it will end up straight to your problem area (i.e. highs, buttocks, hips).
2. Start your day right.
Mothers always say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Have a healthy meal in the morning to jump-start your metabolism.
Your food intake after you wake up will be used to burn fat all day long.
3. Eat small, healthy meals frequently.
Five small-serving snacks per day is better than three hearty meals. Eating more frequently, and in small servings, can prevent over-eating. This will also increase your metabolism and make calories burn faster.
4. Decide on how much weight you want to lose.
Keep your goals realistic. In the long run, it is virtually impossible for you to lose 40 pounds in 2 weeks. Have a mindset that you want to eat healthy to stay healthy for the rest of your life.
Once you have decided on a weight loss plan or program, stick to it and make sure that you follow your own set of dieting rules.
5. Drink lots of water.
Your body needs sufficient water to burn fat and keep your cells hydrated and healthy.
6. Avoid too much sugar.
Plan your meals around lots of fruits and vegetables, some bread, rice or pasta for that carbo fix that you need, plus lean meat and protein rich-foods. Sweets, sodas and pastries should be once-in-a-while indulgences only.
7. Watch your fat intake.
Fat is not the culprit to being overweight. You need this to keep your weight at the proper level.
There is such a thing as healthy fats. Olive, peanuts and canola oil have them. Tuna, salmon and mackerel have omega-3 fats which is good for the heart.
8. Exercise.
Leave your car if you are only going a few blocks from home, take the stairs instead of the elevator, jog, cycle or skate. Use these activites and other home chores if you are too lazy to go to the gym and take exercise classes. Make sure that you do this regularly and you will not even notice that you are already shedding pounds with these mundane activities.
It does not matter how much weight you plan or need to lose. What is important is that you set realistic goals for yourself.
Go slow. If you have already lost 5 or 6 pounds, give yourself a break then try to lose the next 5 pounds.
Eat healthy, drink lots of water, have enough sleep and exercise. This will give you a higher chance of losing weight and improving your health, which would result to a new, healthier you.

Over-the-counter weight-loss pills: Do they work?
The temptation to use over-the-counter weight-loss pills to lose weight fast is strong. But are these products safe and effective?
The appeal of losing weight quickly is hard to resist. But do weight-loss pills and products lighten anything but your wallet? And are they a safe option for weight loss? Here's a look at some over-the-counter weight-loss pills and what they will and won't do for you.
Over-the-counter (OTC) weight-loss pills: What you need to know
A number of weight-loss pills are available at your local drugstore, supermarket or health food store. Even more options are available online. Most haven't been proved effective, and some may be downright dangerous.How can companies sell potentially unsafe products? Dietary supplements and weight-loss aids aren't subject to the same rigorous standards as are prescription drugs. Thus, they can be sold with limited proof of effectiveness or safety. Once a product is on the market, however, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) monitors its safety and can take action to ban or recall dangerous products.
For this reason, it's important to do your homework if you're thinking about trying weight-loss pills. Read labels and talk with your doctor or pharmacist. Also check the FDA Web site for alerts about safety concerns and product recalls. The table shows common weight-loss pills and what the research shows about their effectiveness and safety.
| Product | Claim | Effectiveness | Safety |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alli — OTC version of prescription drug orlistat (Xenical) | Decreases absorption of dietary fat | Effective; weight-loss amounts typically less for OTC versus prescription | FDA investigating reports of liver injury |
| Bitter orange | Increases calories burned | Insufficient reliable evidence to rate | Possibly unsafe |
| Chitosan | Blocks absorption of dietary fat | Insufficient reliable evidence to rate | Possibly safe |
| Chromium | Increases calories burned, decreases appetite and builds muscle | Insufficient reliable evidence to rate | Likely safe |
| Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) | Reduces body fat and builds muscle | Possibly effective | Possibly safe |
| Country mallow (heartleaf) | Decreases appetite and increases calories burned | Insufficient reliable evidence to rate | Likely unsafe and banned by FDA |
| Ephedra | Decreases appetite | Possibly effective | Likely unsafe and banned by FDA |
| Green tea extract | Increases calorie and fat metabolism and decreases appetite | Insufficient reliable evidence to rate | Possibly safe |
| Guar gum | Blocks absorption of dietary fat and increases feeling of fullness | Possibly ineffective | Likely safe |
| Hoodia | Decreases appetite | Insufficient reliable evidence to rate | Insufficient information |

Just remeber Rome was not build in one day
I lost 35 lb over the last 5 months and it has been a winding road to get there but had learned so much along the way. (thus want to share with you what I have learned over the years )Yesterday, I felt like my stomach still isn't flat although my husband thinks it is and I can't tell how much better I look. So he. gave me this advice. Pick a top, pant or outfit out of my closet that fits a bit tight or I don't like they way it looks on my body and work towards rocking the outfit/shirt/.pant! Good advice for when you are too close to see the changes in your body take affect.

It is the driving force that gives us the will to accomplish tasks and eventually succeed at reaching an ultimate goal. Motivation levels can vary each day depending on how we feel, or how we view certain experiences. For anyone to succeed at slimming motivation will be the most important part to work at, it will provide us with the determination to get up and exercise even if we don't feel up to it. Motivation also drives us to stick to the low fat selections and recipes required to keep our progress moving.
The strength of your motivation will determine how successful you are in your weight loss efforts as the more you progress and lose weight the more difficult it will be to lose more as the body is pushed past its natural set points.

Your body will only lose a few pounds a week and starving yourself will not make it any quicker or depriving yourself of any of the major food groups.
Eat 5 meals a day 3 main and two snacks and make sure you never skip breakfast to avoid hunger pangs later in the day. and helps you boost your metabolism.
While you need to eat 5 meals a day you need to keep in mind portion control, how do you do that?
Well lets consider say rice tuna and vegetables as a meal the size of each portion should be the size of your fist. This is a simple way to achieve portion control (Here are some quick expamples:
So try the above and make sure you eat 3 meals per day and snack on as much fruit or vegetables as you wish.
3. Give yourself one day a week for this
Follow your diet for six days a week and then on one day forget about your diet and eat whatever you want.
There is logic here and it's the psychological impact on your mind.
Removing the main reason why many diets fail, which is when choice is removed from you want it even more and don't stick with your chosen diet.You can know your "cheat day is only 1-2 days away..
So won't this defeat the object of dieting No it wont, and there are 3 reasons why:
1. It makes NO Long term difference
You will have been eating sensibly on the other six days and one day won't make much difference.
2. It Teaches you better eating habits
By overeating and having treats just one day a week you will perhaps realize that that your body has adjusted to better eating habits.
This day may not be the pleasure you thought i.e. when every day was a free day, or you don't actually want to eat as much as you thought before you came to your free day.
3. It gives a choice.
By giving us choices we are more likely to stay with the diet we have chosen.
Losing weight is a long term process and you won't undo the good you have done on the other six days by having a free day. What you will do is give yourself the choice and make sticking with a diet less onerous.
No one wants to be told they can't have the foods they really enjoy, the free day gives you choice which is the reason why people fail starting a new diet and helps you stick with sensible eating longer term.
So on your one free day if you Mc Donalds or a pizza go ahead and don't feel guilty dieting should be a pleasure and not a chore so don't feel guilty.
If you follow the three tips above you will be able to lose weight in a healthy fashion and reach your ultimate weight while enjoying any food you want. Try it and see!

Why the USDA just can't get the food Pyraimd right
The USDA’s Dietary Guidelines are going to be overhauled yet again. The current version, called MyPyramid, is what the USDA bills as a healthy diet, and every five years the government reevaluates what being healthy means. Unfortunately lobbyists have traditionally had a hand in what the USDA decides to promote in its healthy dietary formula. When the meat industry cried over suggested reductions in red meat, to lower intake of saturated fat, the government gave in by changing the wording to the industry’s liking. An article published in the Washington Post states, “The milk lobby has expressed concerns about warnings to cut back on added sugars, lest chocolate- and strawberry-flavored milks fall from favor.”
With obesity ranking as public health problem #1, the Dietary Guidelines are currently under more scrutiny than ever. As the article points out, no one really reads the USDA’s suggestions, but, they have far reaching implications on school lunch programs, nutrition labels of food packages, and education materials that are available in doctors' offices and hospitals.They are very far reaching.
What is a "Healthy Diet"?
The USDA recommends following their suggestions below:

The Dietary Guidelines describe a healthy diet as one that:I think a better way to go is like at Internative Nutririon such as this:
- Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products;
- Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts; and
- Is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.

3 Weight Loss Super Foods to Help You with Quick Weight Loss
How nice it would have been if you could lose weight by eating, right? Well, your wish is about to come true. In this article I will tell you of three such foods that will help you lose weight. Sounds too good to be true? Well, just read this article to understand what I mean!
1. Lean meats: Lean chicken meat is one of the best weight loss foods you can ever have! Why? It contains a lot of amount of protein and very little fat, and as you know, protein will build lean muscles. Lean muscles will help you burn fat by accelerating your metabolic rate!
If chicken proves to be too expensive for your pocket, try turkey breast! In any case, make sure you eat only lean meats and stay away from red meat!
Fishes are also very good for quick weight loss. Fishes such as salmon and tuna contain Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids fall in the category of 'good fats' or unsaturated fats. You gained weight because of a hormone called leptin which stores fat inside your body. Omega-3 fatty acids will cut down on leptin; when that happens, you are bound to lose weight!
2. Olive oil: Replace your fatty oil with olive oil. Olive oil is almost free from the 'bad fats' (saturated fats) and contains a considerable amount of unsaturated fats. These unsaturated fats will not only suppress your appetite but also fight cholesterol. In short, olive oil will keep your cholesterol levels down.
3. Berries: Berries are also good for weight loss. There are several types of berries: blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, etc. All of them will help you with weight loss in one or the other way. Strawberry is especially the best among the berries: not only it tastes good, but also helps in suppressing your appetite. Once you get rid of hunger pangs, you can focus more on your weight loss goals and less on eating!
As you can see, just because you want to lose weight doesn't mean that you have to starve. Many people tend to starve or follow crash diets but nothing beats eating and losing weight. I firmly believe that if you eat the right foods, you will not only lose weight but also become healthy. Plus the foods I mentioned above are also rich in vitamins and antioxidants.
Also remember that these are not the only weight loss super foods that are available to you. Other foods such as nuts, oatmeal, eggs and almonds can also help you with weight loss. Add these foods to your diet and see how quickly you are able to get rid of your fat belly!

How to Start Your Own Exercise Regimen and Stick to It
Do you find yourself making resolutions about exercising to get in shape, but never seem to stick to the resolution? This "How-to" can help you with some ideas to provide the little nudge you need.
Steps
1. It can be as easy as doing something you enjoy! If you like it, it's more likely you'll keep at it. Not all workouts are at a gym: try biking, inline skating, rowing, skateboarding, swimming, hockey, or a rugby team; even dancing in your bedroom with an ipod. Enjoyment is the key to sticking with it.
2. Make a commitment to yourself. Don't just make a mental promise to yourself. Get a journal. Write down what you want to accomplish, and set a time frame for reaching your goals. Make a contract, and sign it. Include pictures of your dream dress, if it helps you define your goals.
3. Don't try to do too much at once. If you've never worked out before, or haven't worked out in a long time, don't expect you'll be able to work out for an hour a day--six days a week! Try starting out with three, 30-minute sessions of aerobic exercise per week. Then after two weeks, incorporate two weight lifting sessions in-between your aerobic days.
4. Spread the word! Tell your husband, wife, sister, friends--anyone. We always do better when we think someone else is watching! Don't be obnoxious and remind everyone all the time, but let your close friends and relatives know about your goals. Ask them to encourage you once-in-a-while. Sometimes, it's nice to remind your grandma not to stock her kitchen with all those scrumptious goodies.
5. Keep track with charts. You can weigh yourself, although weight is not always an accurate view of fitness. Record your weight and BMI. Though these aren't accurate measures of progress, it's sweet to look back when you're done with it all, and feel satisfied. Take measurements of your waist, hips, thighs, and neck. These are much more accurate.
6. Teach yourself it is easy. If you are shooting to lose weight, you must learn to eat healthy. Don't "fall into" a diet. You would "fall out" eventually. Things like weight watchers can help you learn, but I simply recommend developing a lifestyle you will want to keep, and using your common sense. See tips for more help.
7. Don't forget this very important step! Drinking water is absolutely the best thing you can do for your body. Always bring water to your workout sessions.
8. Remember it is about having fun. Leaving on the same note we started, working out is not fun if you constantly think, "When am I going to get skinny?". Grab a friend and dance! Go play tags, or have races!
Tips
* Don't have enough time for a good workout? Take a walk during your lunch break, do crunches and jumping jacks while watching TV, or pace while talking on the phone... In other words, take every opportunity to exercise.
* Your health is your most valuable asset. Politely refuse offers to drive you short distances with a car when you could walk instead.
* If you're not used to exercising, it will be hard for the first week or so, to keep yourself from using an elevator. Keep walking and, soon you'll find that you can easily climb those flights of stairs without getting out of breath. Plus, in train stations and the subway, walking has the added benefit --you avoid the crowds-- as no-one takes the stairs!
* Schedule your workouts on your calendar, and stick with it! Treat the workout as a standing appointment with your most important client.
* Do exercises you enjoy.
* Routine is the key. After about 2 weeks of the routine, you will find it a lot less of a chore. You can add new challenges later, to keep it interesting and fun.
* Don't worry if you're not seeing quick results. It normally takes about 8 weeks for results to really kick in visually. Remember, you can't do it all in one sitting. Regular effort, with enthusiasm, is the key!
* You don't necessarily have to pay a trainer to work out with you every week. Gym membership can be helpful because a monetary commitment is likely to motivate you to stick with the regular program. If your gym has group fitness classes, they can help you mix things up a bit.
* Consider alternative forms of exercise. Biking, indoor climbing, Yoga, Thai-chi, martial arts, etc., will all challenge your muscles in different ways, and provide some fun and variety.
* Whichever fitness program you choose to follow, if you like it, and it offers enough variety, you will have a much easier time staying with it.
* Burn more calories playing than what you get from foods. Counting may help at first, but with regular exercises and 5-6 scheduled meals you will easily stay on track. Regular and moderate meals will keep the "fire" burning!
* Eat variety of healthy vegetables, fruits, beans, and nuts. This will give you all the amino-acids and Omega3 fats your body needs to grow muscle, while helping you shred those pounds. Your body cells create protein they need, from amino-acids, so don't worry about it.
* When exercising, drink enough water to replace what is lost. Amount will vary based on your body weight, climate, effort level, etc. Dehydration would slow your weight-loss goals, increase danger of muscle tears, and could make you feel nauseous. Avoid coffee and soda drinks, for better results.
* Be creative with exercise programs. They are yours to play with.
* Go early to bed, and have plenty of rest on days you exercise. Muscles grow and repair themselves during the -deep- sleep.
* Play up-beat music to keep the pace and motivate yourself.
* Try to do exercise in the evening, if your schedule permits, at least two hours after dinner. While the time at which you do exercise is essentially irrelevant, doing exercise in the evening has two benefits: it will help you fall asleep, and will not make you tired when you have other tasks at hand (which might happen if you do exercise during the day).
Warnings
* Consult your doctor before starting any new workout regimen, especially if you've had heart or lung related illness in the past.
* If you feel faint, dizzy, sick, or in pain while working out, take a break. If you start getting better soon, then just start once you feel better. If there is a serious pain or you're crying, you think something is broken, or it won't go away, stop and wait a few hours. If it's still not gone, call a doctor! (This originally said to wait a few days before contacting a doctor. If you are in pain that does not lessen for more than an hour, you should contact someone. If you are in severe pain, contact someone immediately as it could be a sign of something seriously wrong.)
* Consult your doctor if you are severely underweight, overweight, obese, or suffer from asthma before starting working out as you could hurt yourself.
* If you are starting to gain weight, it is usually because you are building muscle. Keep up the good work!
* Drink a lot of water to avoid dehydration.
