Fortunately, there are several easy steps that anyone can do to begin their weight loss journey. These are small changes that anyone can make to their life which will help them skip the crash diets and begin to nourish and feed their bodies.

how you lose weight

I try to run every other day but then something comes up. My kids have something going on or it gets too hot. In the wintertime it is too cold for me to run outside. I just don't like to run when I am uncomfortable.I know it is probably best to just watch what I eat and try to walk when I can. This is the simplest form of losing weight and it makes a lot of sense. If you are eating healthy foods and making an effort to be active, you will see results.

I have been about 50lbs overweight for three years now. I hope that I can lose all of it in the next year. I am finally at a place where I just can't stand the extra weight.I can feel it everyday as I try to do things around the house. My back hurts more and my knees can feel it. I know if I lose some weight I will feel much better and will be able to be more active.I plan to give up eating cookies every night. I know that is one of the reasons I am not losing weight. They always look so good and I have a very hard time resisting them. I know I should stopping buying them to begin with.

Once the kids go back to school I plan to walk every morning. I will walk them to the bus stop and then I will continue for an hour. I think this will really help. I will lose weight and it will help my body feel a bit more healthy than it does.

I just have to commit to walking everyday. I can't skip a day just because I don't feel like it. I need to make myself do it even if I am too cold or too hot. I use to walk a lot when I was younger and I miss it.If I do not start losing weight I know I could end up with a lot of problems. I have seen it in other people. I just don't want that to happen to me. I want to be healthy as I am growing older.

Perhaps the most important part of beginning your weight loss journey is to find a like-minded community to join. The Internet is a great resource for this. Finding support has been proven to up your chances of success in a weight loss journey. The most important thing is to stick with it and not give up.
