Weight Loss Resolution

Have you marked the New Year as a target date to begin losing weight? You’re not alone. Millions each year list weight loss as their number one New Year’s resolution. Whether you are extremely overweight or just have a few extra pounds you’d like to lose, use these tips as a guide to increase your chances of meeting your goal.

Assess what you need to change. Before you jump feet first into a high impact diet and exercise routine, first pinpoint some key areas where you need improvement. Are you active, but eat a lot of junk food? Eat quite healthily, but spend a lot of time in sedentary activities? Find what you need to improve and start there. You may find that some of your current habits are good ones and other areas may need to be tweaked. By finding out exactly what it will take for you to meet your goal you can spend time concentrating on those specific tasks. You can approach a fitness trainer to assess your needs. Also consult with your health care provider before starting any exercise program.

Watch what you eat. Monitor your food choices and your eating habits. Are you a late eater? You may be able to incorporate the same food into your diet, but at a much earlier time in the evening. If you must snack at night grab some fruit or fresh veggies instead of a bag of chips. Try to vary the types of food you eat to get the most nutritional value. Incorporate whole grain products, fruits, vegetables, lean meat and low-fat dairy products in your daily menu.

Watch what you drink. Many people can’t go without a daily soda, but with high sugar content those beverages can set back progress you’re making with your new food diet. Try slowing changing your beverage intake to include 8-10 cups of water everyday. As your body becomes aware that you will keep it hydrated, you will lose water weight resulting in a less bloated feeling. If you can’t seem to give up the soda switch to diet you can make the transition fully.

Get active. If you are more prone to watch an exercise program rather than participate, it’s time to get off the couch and get moving. You can commit to an exercise regimen or use other activities such as dance and martial arts to get your metabolism going and burn off some fat. Putting one or two activities on your calendar each week will give you some concrete times to exercise. No waiting to feel in the mood to exercise. You’ll benefit from the social aspects as well. If you can’t sign up for any group activities or a gym membership, try to get moving around the house. If you have space, set up a small home gym. Perhaps invite a friend to join you in your quest for weight loss. It’ll help to have morale support. If you’re into lifting weights as part of your exercise program, having a friend spot you is not only a good motivator, but safer.
