In order to lose weight successfully, you first have to realize that losing weight is a journey with a specific destination. Right now, you’re at the very beginning and about to take the first step towards changing your eating and lifestyle habits, so that you can have the body you really want.

Of course, this isn’t going to be easy – nothing worthwhile ever is. You should pat yourself on the back for making a commitment to yourself that you’re finally ready to do this. So many people can’t even make it this far. So, in a sense, you’re already ahead of the game.

Your goal should be to lose one or two pounds a week, if you lose more than that, great, but don’t push for it. You want to stay mentally focused, healthy and determined. If you push too hard, or try to force your body to lose big numbers, then you’ll eventually stress yourself out and hit a wall that may lead to failure.

Here’s some suggestions that you can use to create a successful weight loss plan:

Set a Reasonable Goal

Your first step should be to decide how much weight you want to lose. Get some 3x5 index cards and write one goal or positive statement down on each one. Start by writing down your ideal weight, this is your ultimate big goal.

Next, you want to set smaller goals for yourself. Write down a goal for losing five pounds, then ten pounds, twenty pounds, etc.

Write down some positive motivational statements about yourself.

“I love myself unconditionally”

“I’m a great person inside and outside”

“I’m going to smile and laugh today”

“I deserve this and I’m worth it”

Keep these cards where you’ll be able to look at them every day.

Eat Smaller Portions More Often

Growing up you were probably taught to eat three meals a day. You were also probably taught to clean your plate. While this schedule of eating meals is well-intentioned, the fact is that you are going to get hungry between breakfast and lunch, and between lunch and dinner.

Not only are you probably having a large portion for each meal, but you are also snacking on junk food in between. Unfortunately, this way of eating leads to a lot of weight gain. It’s been proven that if you eat several small meals during the day, you won’t get hungry between meals and when you do, it’s easier to snack on something that has less calories.

Plan to eat five small meals a day, instead of three, and see if that helps to curb your food cravings.

Keep a Food Journal

Just like a diary is a snippet of events that happen in your life, a food journal helps you to keep track of what you’re really putting into your mouth on a daily basis. You probably have a mental picture of what you normally eat, but when you see it in writing, you may be surprised at all the extra foods you’re eating without even thinking about it.

Write down what you ate, what time you ate it, and how you felt when you ate that particular food. Sometimes when we eat certain “comfort foods” we’re really trying to use food to fill up an emotional hole in our hearts.

Feelings of loneliness, boredom, stress, anger and low-self esteem are often triggers for food binging. Write it down and you can go back and evaluate it later.

Treat Yourself

When you reach one of your weight loss goals, go ahead and treat yourself to something special. The only catch is that your reward cannot be a food item. That’s right, you will not have a bowl of ice cream or a big slice of pizza.

You want to mentally get away from thinking of food as a reward or a security blanket. So, think of some other things that will put a smile on your face. Money is always a good reward. Maybe you can create a reward jar and pay yourself five dollars for every milestone achieved. You could go on a nice shopping spree after you’ve reached your final goal weight.

You could also buy yourself some fresh flowers, a nice pair of earrings, a new video game, a new tie, etc.

Another great idea is to make up your own reward coupon books.

I hope these tips are helpful and that you are successful in creating a healthier and happier new you.

Hi does anyone know where to buy lipotrim? Is it only sold online or is it in the stores?

Lemon diet, Xenadrine??? What diets have you tried and how successful have they been?

In order to effectively lose weight, here are 5 of the most recommended diet pills available in the market: Hoodia Gordonii Plus, Hoodia Chaser, Avatrim Dietary Supplement, Dietrine Carb Blocker, and Hoodia Balance.

Because of the sheer number of diet pills available online, it can be a daunting and overwhelming task to sort out the good ones from the not-so-good ones. The success of diet pills is really a case-to-case basis. It depends on the person taking them and how his or her body will react to the said pills. Nevertheless, extensive research and data findings gathered over time have given us a list of some of the most highly recommended diet pills that are available over the internet these days. Here are some of the results of these studies.

The top five diet pills that come highly recommended by health experts and satisfied customers alike are the following: Hoodia Gordonii Plus, Hoodia Chaser, Avatrim Dietary Supplement, Dietrine Carb Blocker, and Hoodia Balance.

The Hoodia Gordonii Plus diet pill has been around the market for quite sometime now and is one of the most effective, if not the most effective, appetite suppressant made from natural herbs. Aside from suppressing a person’s appetite, it has the ability to boost the metabolism, burn fat and increase energy.

Hoodia Chaser, on the other hand, is not a diet pill per se. It comes in liquid form and is actually the liquefied version of pure Hoodia Gordonii extract. This type of weight loss agent is said to be absorbed by the body faster and works immediately by suppressing your appetite and thus preventing you from overeating.

The Avatrim Dietary Supplement is a unique combination of pure green tea extract, vitamins, amino acids, and other natural thermogenic ingredients that have been proven to promote weight loss. It works by increasing the body’s metabolism and energy output, thereby accelerating the burning of fat, resulting in weight loss.

The Dietrine Carb Blocker, as the name implies, blocks the absorption of carbohydrates. This is ideal for people who still want to be able to eat good food without the consequence of gaining weight.

Lastly, Hoodia Balance is similar to the other Hoodia diet pills, but contains a higher percentage of the South African Hoodia herb. Thus, this pill is considered to be more potent than the others.

Ephedra and Ephedrine are still the top choice for weight loss. The Ephedra herb in its purest form was banned by the FDA, however companies such as Hi-Tech and American Generic Labs have produced pills that have ephedra extract. Ephedra Extract is legal and can be found in Lipodrene, Ripped Power, Superdrine and Metabothin.

We found web sites such as http://www.milliondollarweightloss.com highlighting ephedra based products and everything we've seen and heard points to these products still being the top performing ones available both on the internet and in retail locations.

Reference Wikipedia:

In response to accumulating evidence of adverse effects and deaths related to ephedra, the FDA banned the sale of ephedra-containing supplements on April 12, 2004.[9] A suit by an ephedra manufacturer was upheld by a Federal District Court judge in Utah on April 14, 2005. [10] The FDA appealed this ruling, and on August 17, 2006 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit upheld the FDA's ban of ephedra.[11] The sale of ephedra-containing dietary supplements remains illegal in the United States due to evidence of adverse ephedra-related effects.

Teens 13 and over? Like, if they are overweight and weigh like 130?
Excuse me, "Shon"? Um, dont talk to ME that way. I AM the 13 year old. And I dont think im retarded at all. Let's see, hmm...I weigh 130, and I AM overweight. If my stomach sticks out pretty far and I have FAT then yes, I AM overweight, thank you. And my town is extremely small with no gyms or anything, it is quite boring. I am 4'11. I wont need to waste any money because my parents already have Trimspa. Listen, Shon, I dont want your opinion on if Im stupid, or if I should be out exercising, because I didnt ask that. I will be 13 in December, so yes, close enough. All I have is a pool. No trampoline, and no basketball hoop. I used to. And I may do softball, but that wont help. I see girls out there on the field who have been playing for years and have HUGE stomachs.
Lets put it this way:
At 3 o'clock this afternoon, I weighed 127.2

I had 2 Uncrustable sandwhichs with some chips and dip, and then checked the scale a bit later. What did it say? 130.6

I weighed myself 3 different times. It all came out the same. My matebilsim is awful. I dont eat junk food, only from time to time. I just eat so much. I can loose weight quickly, but I live in FL, its as hot as ever. I couldnt even walk all the way down the street and back, the heat was intense.

Ok, so im a 15 year old Female, 165cm tall and around 68kgs. (so, im about 2 kgs overweight) I would realllly love to lose around 1.5kgs everyweek for the next three months, then of course keep it off. I'm not at school at the moment, (for the next 3 months) so i have alot of spare time and i own an exercise bike.Also i recently bought Ultraslim milkshake meal replacements and fatburner milkshake meal replacements.Does anyone know if they are effective? but i ALWAYS end up eating waaay more then just the milkshakes, even unhealthy food! So please, I appreciate any sort of answers or tips!! I'd really like to be around 12 kilos lighter (weigh 56 kgs) by Christmas!

Thankyou!!
(:
