Hi guys. This one of my posts relating to weight gain and I am specifically going to look at setting the most realistic and achievable goals that will help you to lose weight. This is like a point bullet program that you can write in color and hang it up on your bedside to remind you of what you need to achieve.

1. Baby steps to heaven. As I have always said it is better to start slow and finish fast than to start fast and finish slow. The baby steps are there. Use them before you become an adult.

2. Take care of the body. Avoid putting strain on your bones just because you want to get to an unrealistic target. The body does not like to be abused.

3. Target the problem areas because they are the ones that need help. Generalized exercise is not focused so you lose out on the benefits of toning which is the friend of a good body builder.

4. Consistency pays off if it is done often enough. Select what you like and do it again and again.

5. Avoid boredom by varying your routine. The routine will go quicker if it is constantly changed from time to time. Find interesting things to include in what you do and you will find that everything tends to go faster.

6. Use exercise as part of an arsenal of tools to get your body into shape. Do not let the exercise take the lion’s share of the work. The more hands that are involved, the lighter the work.

7. Get all your mates to join you and see how you can progress with even the slightest encouragement. We all sometimes need to rely on friends. Make use of them as they are there to help you.

8. Practice as much as possible because they say that practice makes perfect. That tricky exercise that you have always wanted to do but which seems to break your back. Try it many times and you will be surprised to see it working.

9. Lifestyle change is what you are aiming for. The idea is that you remain the same person but with different goals and aspirations. You will also have different methods of achieving those goals.

10. Finally enjoy yourself as much as possible. Exercise like life is all about getting the best. Don’t let the routine drag you down.

Hi guys. I am continuing the theme of dropping some tips for those of you who want to lose weight.

1. If you plan your meals, you have a better chance of making sure that you follow the recommended values to a tee. Meal planning also forces one to consider the reasons for their overeating as well as actually seeing what they are eating.

2. Persistence will get you everywhere. Once you determine the requirements for your weight loss. Persist in the exercises and the direct diet restrictions and you will see good results.

3. Take your time. Dieting is not a competition and you should not distress yourself by trying to copy other people who you might think look the best. Do things in your own time to suit your personal needs.

4. Enjoy your dieting. This might sound a bit crazy but you can fun with your diet especially if you are working in a group and are able to share anecdotes.

5. Transform your whole lifestyle. Dieting is a social activity but the decision to lose weight is an individual one. The best methods of losing weight rely on your transforming all aspects of your life which have troubled you in the past.

6. Share. I do not mean sharing the food, although that might be a good idea. I mean talking to other people about the progress of your diet and your general wellbeing. A problem shared is a problem reduced.

7. Ensure that you are as active as you possibly can by joining the gym or running around your compound. This is what will make you lose weight even further.

8. Do not get discouraged by the slow progress. Sometimes things appear to take longer than you would like but just focus on what is in store for you at the end of the tunnel. This will motivate you to work even harder at your program.

9. Be consistent. Jumping from one new diet to the next without properly doing the work that you are expected to do will not help you in the long run. You need to select a diet and stick to it.

10. Snacks are to be avoided as much as possible. They are the bane of good dieting and you do not need them to live. Once you plan your meals, all you need to do is eat when you are hungry.

Those are my 10 top tips for you today. See you in about three days but I will keep checking the comments.
