4 Ways to Make Weight Loss Simple

Weight loss success starts with you getting the right information and taking action. Its that simple---wrong information followed leads you to long-term weight gain and fat gain.

You MUST know what to do, when to do it and how to do it. Once you have the right information to achieve fat loss and weight loss, you MUST work hard, make adjustments, persevere and make no excuses.

How many times have you followed your meal plan and exercise program all week and then blown it on the weekend by going on an eating binge? If that's you, then you need to make adjustments.

Staying on your fat loss and weight loss track through all the events of life can sometimes throw you off kilter.

Are you still doing the same poorly designed workouts and getting the same "little or no success results" from your workouts? This can leave you feeling overwhelmed and ready to give up!

It takes more than just working out...if you burn 500 calories during a workout and later eat 1,200 calories, you are just "spinning your wheels" and not making progress.

Its time for you to take positive steps every day to burn fat, lose the weight and shape the lean body you want. Don't let anything hold you back. Past weight loss failures are just that---the past. Get the right plan and follow it (keep reading to see a great plan).

You have to be willing to follow expert guidance and feedback to reach your fat loss and weight loss goals. Be willing to try new things that you might not think will work. And, be realistic about your goals.

You will never reach your weight loss and body toning goals if they are unrealistic. You can set a goal to look and feel the best that YOU can. That's a realistic goal.

By now, you must know that fad diets will never work for you long-term, unless you count "going in circles" as progress.

Fad diets place you further away from your weight loss goals because you will yo-yo back and forth with quick weight loss and more weight regain.

A "quick weight loss only goal" is a short-term fix for your weight problem and will not ultimately help you attain your goals. Establish eating and exercise habits that will help you burn fat and lose weight for a lifetime.

Set your mind to have a long-term vision about burning fat and losing weight--a health-first vision.

And, get motivated to make it happen---through all the ups and downs. Successful weight loss motivation usually begins when you have become motivated to improve in other areas of your life as well.

I'm not a psychologist, but I am a human. I know that when I am "messed up" in other areas of my life, it can sometimes be hard to exercise regularly and lose weight or maintain weight. Its also easier to eat those fatty "comfort foods" that pack on the pounds quickly.

Here are 4 tips for you to reach your health, fat loss and weight loss goals:

1. Fear is a huge obstacle for some, like fear of setting goals because of fear of failure. According to experts, setting low goals or no goals means you don't have to live up to high expectations.

2. When you have tried everything and nothing has worked, its easier to just give up. Don't give up. Keep trying. All it takes is the right exercise and nutrition program to help you succeed.

3. Remember, weight loss is about improving your health. In an About.com poll, 65% of site visitors said they were losing weight for appearance. And, only 35% said they were losing weight for health. That's why quick weight loss programs (with no long-term benefits) continue to sell out.

4. You can't be perfect. Consistent (and smart) exercise and healthy eating will give you a healthy, toned body. Period. Don't stop no matter how long it takes.

You can reach your fat loss and weight loss goals. Stay with it---YOU are worth the time and effort!
