I decided to lose weight when I hit 214 pounds. Someone took a photo which I didn't like it.I felt I had to do something at that point.I was clueless at first as to what I should do. I decided to join Weight Watchers and successfully lost 34 pounds.I did by setting goals. I found their food journal a great way to find out which foodsI could and couldn't eat.I was weighing myself every day.Weight Watchers offer support and their points system is easy to follow.I read about adding muscle in the abs diet.Every pound of muscle you add burns 50 calories per hour. I have added muscle and think that it has been helpful in my weight loss.
Weighing yourself is good way to start your weight loss.It gives tyou a starting point.Youthenknow where you are andcanwork to lose weight.after losing 34 pounds I hit a plateau in my weight loss at that point so I decided to try the South Beach Diet next. Everything in this diet is low in sugar which is one thing that will make you fat.I successfully lost 28 pounds on this diet and that put me back in my ideal weight range. I maintained my weight loss for about 4 years.I did regain some weight after losing my job.I then looked at both Weight Watchers and the South Beach Diet and noticed that they both incorporate walking now.
I chose to start walking and riding my bike more.I had epilepsy when I was younger so I have riden my bike for most of my life. I was cured about 14 years ago so now I do drive when I want to.I was even parking farther out and walking up the escalators. My current job is very physical too so hard work has helped me get into top shape now.I decided to start riding my bike to work and lost 3 inches in about 5 months.I have lost a total of 102 pounds and 6 inches in my waist since I started my weight loss. I am now where I want to be weight wise.Where there is a will there is a way.My weight loss story has inspired friends to go out and lose weight.I hope this will be a help to you. Exercise and a proper diet can help a person reach their weight loss goal.. Remember everything in moderation.Take care.
