Healthy Weight Loss

Not too far back a member at the fitness center asked me my opinion about her joining a twelve week fitness contest.She was one of those people often found exercising, but not all the time. Her results reflected that. You can read about the importance of being consistent in a weight loss forum.

While not obese, she definitely had weight to lose. She was very enthusiastic about getting her picture in print so I tried to encourage her.

Since she wanted me to help her, I got out my skin fold caliper and measured her at 27%.She was about average for being over 40.

I concurred when she said that she wanted to be 19%: it’s a good place to be.

Since average fat loss over a one week period is less that 1%, I told her that she’d need a good part of a year to reachh her goal. Anyway, she worked out really hard and, after 12 weeks, she was ripped! She even did six pack ab exercises.

Her excitment was really an inspirational to me.Amazingly, I never saw here again.

The woman wouldn’t answer the phone when I tried to contact her

Months later, she came back to the gym, but had gained most of her weight back after failing to win the contest. She started exercising again, but only periodically. Similar stories happen all the time. short term achievement followed by disappointment.

You can get in the position where you lose weight and get in better shape consistently over a longer time period.I have a few suggestions that will get you going.

1. Don’t define your program as beginning a diet: your better eating habits should be regarded as a permanent alteration of your lifestyle.

2. Create a schedule that will help you keep your goals once you have acieved them.

3. Make only a couple changes at a time. Trying to do too much too fast will make your goals unsustainable.
