Welcome to the weight loss help page

Welcome. The quest to lose weight has been around since time began. There are many reasons why people feel that they should lose weight

·          To look good

·          To improve their health

·          To improve their self esteem

The reason really does not matter. What matters is that you have decided to take this step. Visiting this site is probably not your first step in the quest to lose weight. Most people will have tried many of the usual methods like dieting, exercise etc.

So, what has gone wrong? Why did none of your previous attempts succeed? Did your diet not result in any significant weight loss? Did you lose weight just to put it back on almost immediately you stopped dieting? Did you include exercise as part of your weight loss plan? Did you follow any plan at all or just cut down on food intake?

Losing weight is a complex issue and each person who embarks on a quest to lose weight must analyse themselves and select a plan that suits their particular needs. For example, you will need to look at your present lifestyle and list all the things that you are doing well and the things that you do not do so well. List what you eat and when. Be honest, the only person you will fool is yourself! List the time you eat, what you eat and the amount you eat. Where I say “eat” I mean eat and drink. Leave nothing out. If you buy something and eat it while you are shopping then you must also include it in your list. If you have a quick snack during the day, include it. If you are looking for weight loss then this step is important.

You should also make a list of activities you do during the day. On this list you should include all exercise and rest you take. If you do any physical work during the day then be sure to include it. Try to quantify what you do. For example, If you climb the stairs many times during the day then try to figure out how many times you do it. If you take an elevator then count the number of times you take it and the number of floors you pass. Try to figure out how much walking you do in the course of a day.

When you have all this information together you can then begin to analyse your true lifestyle. Can you cut down or out the in-between meals snacks? Can you take more exercise in the course of your normal day by using the stairs instead of the elevator? Remember, you do not initially have to walk up all the stairs to the fifth floor. Try walking to the second and then take the elevator. When you feel comfortable you can increase your effort and walk to the third floor and so on. In order to lose weight fast you will need to combine exercise with dieting.

These suggestions are only part of your lifestyle changes and you will need to make many more. But they are a start and every great journey begins with a first step.
