About This Blog

How many times have you wanted to try and be healthier, loose weight or both? How hard is it to try and fit those into your life? These are not easy goals but they can be achieved with no products, pills or personal trainers. I am embarking on these goals and I want others to join me in trying to be healthy and still living a fun life at the same time.

I've Got Pounds In The Wrong Places

I sympathize with everyone who is attempting to get into better health and loose weight but just can't seem to loose the weight where they want to.

Anyone who wants to loose weight seems to want to loose it from their hips, thighs, tummy, arms or some other specific area first because it bothers them the most. That person then goes all out to target that one area and all they end up doing is possibly making it look bigger because they are just building up muscle under the fat that's there.

The hard to face truth of it all is that your body's genetics are going to decide for you where and how it's going to loose the fat. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but what ever you do don't focus on this. Don't attempt to fight your body on where to loose those pesky pounds. Just know that you don't need to target one area of your body and work it till your blue in the face.

So again I'd say to you please don't focus on the number of pounds being lost but simply focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle since that what is important in the end and most likely will give you the results you want as well.

Consistency Is Key

Your body wants to stay around one consistent weight. It's when we make a change in our habits that is consistent that forces our body to change be it by gaining or losing weight.

Since consistency is key try to make small changes because for most people too big of a change is a lot of work which they don't have time for. Small changes do add up to a big lifestyle change though. It's just a matter of finding the small changes that are manageable or even easy to fit into your life. Just remember it's not about putting your life on hold to loose weight. It's about loosing weight by the way you live your life.
