Here are 5 weight loss motivation tips:
1. Create an exercise pattern and establish a variable exercise program that you enjoy doing. Mix up the exercises so that you never get bored with them. Invest in DVD’s or take the plunge and join various exercise classes but try to exercise for an hour at least three times a week for maximum benefit. Exercise such as walking is extremely beneficial so try to walk a little bit further each day and you will soon start to reap the rewards.
2. Increase the amount of water you are drinking. Water is a vital component in your fight to lose weight and get healthy.
3. Eat the foods that you like, but simply eat less of them. Diets are not about deprivation they are about eating a balanced supply of food and not over-indulging in one type of food or another. Invest in a smaller plate and fill it, this way you will feel that you are eating plenty and not missing out.
4. Stay motivated throughout by discussing your weight loss goals with others. Gaining their support will help to spur you on, even better if you can get others to join you.
5. Set realistic goals that are achievable and safe over a long period of time. Set small goals such as weekly or fortnightly and this will help you to stay motivated for longer. Reward your successes by purchasing something that you would really like such as a theatre trip. These treats really help you to boost and maintain your drive towards a healthy lifestyle.
Here are 5 tips to use as motivation to Lose Weight:
1. Focus on the positive. It is easy to think of losing weight in a negative way. You might feel discouraged that you will have to change your eating habits or start exercising but this focus on the negative is preventing you from taking the first step. Instead actively shift your mind to consider all of the positive things that will come into your life once you lose the weight. This positive mindset will help pull you into action.
2. Make big enough lifestyle changes to see results. There is nothing more motivating then seeing the results of your efforts on the scale and in the mirror. Push yourself out of your comfort zone a little and make significant enough changes in your daily eating and exercise to see results and you will find your motivation grows.
3. Start your day with a win. Begin your day with exercise, a good breakfast or a positive pep talk and you will find that you seek out more good habits during the day.
4. Enter into a friendly competition. Do you have a friend or loved one who also wants to lose weight? Start a friendly competition to see who can lose the greatest percentage of weight over a period of time and you will stay motivated and get better results.
5. Cancel your negative thoughts. No matter how motivated you get you will have days when your brain seems to be bombarding you with negative or limiting thoughts that make you question if your efforts are worthwhile. The keep to containing these negative thoughts is to say CANCEL when you hear them. This disrupts the thought so it cannot grow and cause you to sabotage your progress. This is a simple technique but it works and if you practice it in your life you will find that it helps you build your motivation to lose weight.
Here are 4 fast and easy weight loss ideas:
1. Make your snacks protein…not carb. If you are one to grab a quick pre-packaged snack from the vending machine then you might want to reconsider that choice. Refined carbohydrates cause a surge in your blood sugar level as well as your insulin level and when this is present your body increases the rate at which it makes fat and decreases the rate in which it burns fat. Protein actually has the opposite effect.
2. Avoid overeating with a “Stopper”. This is something you do to move yourself away from eating once you know you have eaten enough. This keeps you from mindlessly overeating. Try popping in a piece of chewing gum or a few breath mints after a meal and you will find that you avoid seconds and dessert.
3. Give yourself a jump start. A powerful way to boost your weight loss is to keep carbohydrates out of your evenings for a two week period. This takes away your body’s number one choice for energy and instead your body is forced to burn body fat.
4. Exercise with more intensity. If you are exercising at a steady pace, i.e. walking on the treadmill, then add a few intensity burst where you are increasing the pace significantly for a minute at a time. What these burst of effort do is stimulate your metabolism and this little change can make big changes in your fat loss – up to 9 times more!
