The Magic Diet Pill To Help You Lose Weight

… unfortunately there isn’t a magic diet pill that can help you lose weight. I don’t fall for all the products out there, since the key to losing weight and keeping it off is lifestyle changes. Science hasn’t yet discovered how to put that into a pill.
There are many strategies that you can undertake to help your weight loss – but in the end they all end up following a very simple formula:
- Calories Burned LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO Calories In RESULTS IN maintain your weight
- Calories Burned LESS THAN Calories In RESULTS IN promote weight loss
What are some strategies you can use, today – RIGHT NOW.
- Weight Loss Strategy #1Eat LESS! This is the easiest thing to do. Just cut back by 50% what you’re eating. For example, if you have 6 slices of regular cut toast in the morning – CUT BACK to 2 slices OR buy thin sliced bread – two slices are the equivalent to one slice of regular cut bread. You could (technically) still have 6 slices but are only eating the calories for 3. Instead what you should do is cut back – eat the thin sliced bread and have two slices instead.
- Weight Loss Strategy #2Walk a lot. Walking is great exercise, it is easy and you don’t need to buy any specialized fitness equipment to walk. You may want to buy a pedometer – but it’s not necessary. Just go out for a walk. When I lost my initial 100lbs I went for walks daily. During lunch I’d go out for 30 minute walk. After work, I’d take the long way to my car and in fact parked several blocks from work — not only did it save me money but I got exercise! Walking to lose weight is a strategy that will help you work towards weight loss and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Those are just two weight loss strategies that will help you lose weight, and feel great!
Here is to your health!

Weight Loss Frustration

WOW – I can not believe it’s been almost one year that I have not posted here. Not due to ignoring the site, but just busy with work and family.
I’d like to let update folks about a few things:
FREE PEDOMETER – WOW! I can’t believe how popular this was, unfortunately I don’t have a bottomless pit of money, nor do I have an inside track with any manufacturer so my stash os pedometers was given away looong ago. I am considering offering this again, but it wouldn’t be free – but definately something affordable; that said – check out your local department store as you should be able to purchase a pedometer for under $10.00 for something very basis. You can spend a lot more, but not sure if you need all the features others may offer. Remember using a PEDOMETER is only one way to help you stick to a walking plan by encouraging you to walk 10,000 steps per day!
MY OWN WEIGHT LOSS – well for almost 2-3 years there I wasn’t loosing anything. The initial weight loss that I had has stayed off; but over the last 3-4 months I’ve started watching my meals again and am doing some exercise (nothing strenuous) to aid in weight loss. I’m happy to report that I’ve come down almost 15 lbs over the last 4-months!! In terms of sizes, here is what’s happened:
Jeans – from a size 50-52 to about 48-50
Dress Pants – from a size 52 to about 48 (depending on the mfg’er)
Dress Shirts – from a 4x to 3x (I can probably fit into a 2x but I don’t like wearing tight clothes)
Undies – 2x (from 3x – 4x … I’m sure you wanted to know that!!!) LOL!
Seriously though, as I’ve dropped another 15lbs I do feel much better and actually feel like doing things with my son instead of sitting inside all the time (FYI – my kid is a skinny, skinny bean pole! He doesn’t seem to gain any weight except for what is appropriate for his age. Lucky!).
What have I been doing? Well you’ll just have to keep visiting to find out, and I promise to post more regularly!
