How to lose weight

Hi everyone,

My name is Sally Sheen and I have created this web space to help you to lose weight. You may have asked yourself this: "Why am I not losing weight despite all my efforts...Is it at all possible for me to lose weight or should I just give up?

Or you may be asking this question on behalf of someone else close to you. By making a search for possible solutions, you are half way to solving the problem. It is also possible that you will close this page and go on with your life… your usual one, which though not bad at all – has a weight problem you want to fix.

This is not a problem unique to you, so be consoled. Many other people, thousands of people, millions of people, especially in present-day America are asking themselves the same question: “How can I lose weight?”, and they are finding workable answers. This website has been set up to help you do just that!

Ok, but ... I need to lose weight – How do I start ?

For fear of repeating myself too often, I say again. If "I need to lose weight", is a term that crosses your mind a lot, then it is time to quit 'thinking' and begin to act now! A lot of people find themselves faced with obesity. The reason is because obesity as a problem is getting worse, not better, and food - which can be friend, would in this case seem to be an enemy, but there is a way out... there are many ways out, as we shall proceed to show you on these pages.

Remember it takes a long time to put on weight, and so naturally, it will take an equally long time to put it off, so patience is needed. Be patient with yourself, be consistent with your weight-loss goals, and I assure you - you WILL lose weight!

It's all about proportion, and meal planning. You need to know how to manage your time throughout the day so that you are not stuck in the inevitable I need to lose weight status, as a result of over eating. Generally over eating comes from being bored! -not keeping active enough. Follow my simple steps to learn how to lose weight, without having to stick to a strict regime.

Get your act together! Know that you want to lose weight and get out of the I need to lose weight status, into the LOSE weight active plan status.

Step 1 - Set your self a target weight. For example if you are currently weighing in at 14 stones, and your ideal weight is 10, then set that as your target weight. It won't take long until you can start to lose the weight and physical changes to your appearance become noticeable. Having tat target will help you stay motivated.

Step 2 - Know that you want to lose the weight, and stick to that state of mind. The reason that you are overweight is because you don’t exercise enough, eat too much, and don’t have the proper portion size, which leads me onto the next step.

Step 3 - Make sure that you throw out all the junk food from your kitchen cupboards, donate them to the local Salvation Army. You don’t need to eat packets of crisps, and chocolate bars you just want to. When cooking boil instead of frying, cut your portion size down by 25% and MAKE sure that you lay off snacking. Sticking to 3 meals a day is plenty .

Step 4- Take one hour a day to exercise, it can be a walk to the shop (not to pick up food mind!) just to stroll and buy the daily newspaper, lottery ticket – anything so long as it keeps you active. If your local shop is less than a 5 minute walk away, then walk to one that’s a little further , believe me if I can do it anyone can.

Step 5 - Instances through the day where you would be using the car, STOP!. Start walking to the places that you need to go, or buy a bike to cycle there instead.

Step 6 - In the event that you do need to resort to using your car to get around, park it that little bit further away from the place you’re destined to go. That factor alone can be a contributor to significant amounts of weight loss.

Step 7 – Stay out of the kitchen after 6pm. Your body needs to digest, and if you don’t digest properly, your body’s will start to store fat, instead of shift it. The same gores for skipping meals out. I used to skip breakfast, with the mentality that by doing so I would loose weight, wrong ! When the body is hungry, it stores fat to preserve energy levels.

Good luck! remember next time you're sitting thinking ‘I need to lose weight’ – simply turn it to a reality, and you will never look back.
