Looking to lose a little weight?

Losing weight can seem like a really hard goal for some people, but the hardest part is really just accepting that you need to put forth the initial effort. There are tons of ways to get really fit without spending tons of money, and it all starts with the decision to stick with it.

Start taking a half hour walk every day or every other day. Try and find a route that will go up a couple hills so you can expend some extra energy during your walk. I personaly like to eat after I've gone on a good long walk, because the metabolism is usualy kicking for a good 3 to 6 hours after a descent exercise. Try not worrying too much about what you eat, but more importantly when and why you eat.

Eating because you're bored or upset are common but self destructive, and will only serve to make you feel worse as time goes on. Eating is great but it doesnt need to be done around the clock, as much as many of us like doing >_< including myself lol. If you're really looking to lose weight and get in shape, start researching your local Martial Art schools. Not only will you be learning excellent self defense techniques, you will begin to be much more confident with yourself and the way you start to feel.

Try to avoid eating directly before bed. Im guilty of that one way too often, and doing this is probably one of the worst things you can do. If you eat and then simply pass out, your body can't do anything with that food except store it for later use. Not what you're looking for lol.

If walking outdoors isnt really your thing, start looking through the newspaper for tag sales. A few days of tag sale hopping and you might just find a working tread mill or step machine for wicked cheap, so that way you can exercise from the comfort of your own home. If you don't have time for a scheduled walk, try to cut down on the use of your car. If you need to run down the street for a couple small things, try walking or taking a bike instead.

Heres an obvious and mature one. If you're in a relationship, try spicing up your sex life a bit. Not only will this likely increase the comfort level between you two, its also an excellent way to burn a bunch of calories. Who said weight loss can't be fun?

If you need more imediate results, think about joining your local gym and researching different exercises online. You can also look into all the different health food products out today, just make sure you do some descent research before hand. If you decide to spend money, make sure its money well spent before hand.

I'm sure these are all quite obvious suggestions, but hopefuly some of them can be some help to you or someone you know. Being overweight isn't always a bad thing, but most of us like thinking about being fit, sexy, or just slightly more attractive. We can all be however we would like to see ourselves, if we're just willing enough to accept that we already have everything we could ever desire.

Stay positive and stay fit, peace & prosperity
