It is Easy to Lose Weight!

It's Easy To Lose Weight And Keep It Off (but you have to do what I tell you) You must get serious and STAY serious about losing weight and keeping it off! As I have mentioned in an earlier blog, there are several programs and different software that will help you record your weight loss, calorie intake and log your daily exercise routine but most of them require some form of payment. But I want to mention again "Weight Commander." You can get started with it for FREE! Really! Of course you may want to help keep the site going by making a donation! But try it anyway, you may find it helpful.
Here are a few of Weight Commander's diet Rules To Follow:
  • Rule 1) Lose Weight Slowly. It took a while to gain a lot of weight. It will take a while to lose it. There is no rush. Weight reduction accomplished with a long, gradual diet has a much better chance of being permanent. I know what I am talking about - don't try to lose weight quickly.
  • Rule 2) Keep it a Secret. Don't tell anyone you are going on a diet. People will respect you for your self discipline once you've lost weight - let them figure it out on their own. You don't need the added pressure of announcing your diet in advance, and it's fun to think about who will say what and when. We don't need discouragement (don't even open a door for it!); we need encouragement!
  • Rule 3) Eat Less - Exercise More.If you want to weigh less you are going to Eat Less and Exercise More. That may sound silly but there is no other way you are going to lose weight. And remember, exercise does not have to be exercise. Bowling is exercise. Going to a museum is exercise. Window shopping at a mall is exercise. Do the things you enjoy doing - and do a lot of them.
  • Rule 4) Weigh Yourself Often.- as close to every day as you can. This allows Weight Commander to monitor what you are doing and disciplines you into following your daily progress. You will help yourself a lot by entering your weight whenever you can.

Now, this next rule is one that I highly recommend! Start this one first thing in the morning! If you've just got to have a pity party go ahead have it tonight, but promise yourself to begin this one rule tomorrow morning if not sooner!

  • Rule 5) Start Enjoying Yourself Now! You do not have to wait until the end of your diet when you're a new person - you already are a new person! In many ways dieting is more fun than maintaining your weight afterwards. You should enjoy each day, starting today.
