How To Figure Weight Loss Percentage

    View: 
You can have anything, be anything, and do anything in life if you just make the choice to do so.



The power to choose whatever you want is something that the words written here cannot give justice to.

Your future has not happened yet. In fact, you create your future. The choices that you make today will shape your destiny later in life. The fact that you are reading this book tells me that there is something that you want to change in the future regarding your present fitness and weight loss situation.

You can make it a habit to chose what it is you want in life. In fact, weight loss is also a choice you make. Much like you chose your mate, your occupation, or your place of residence, you can chose to lose weight and stay thin.

Being overweight is not a life-long sentence you have been handed down with nothing you can do about it. You can choose to change your situation at any moment. If you are at a moment of complete frustration with your current weight, now is as good a time as any to make the choice to change.

Is it a choice you are willing to make? Are you unsure of the first step to take after you've made the choice to change?

Do not worry. We are going to go over those steps. I am going to start with a clean slate with you, so even if you know little about losing weight, you will be successful.

Please do not make weight loss and weight management any harder than it really has to be. Sure, the willpower required may be a test of character, but the actual process required to lose weight isn't physiologically difficult.

You have to expend, or burn off, more calories than you consume. It seems as though the more we become technologically advanced as a society, the more overweight we also become.

Also, with all of the confusing and conflicting opinions on the best weight loss methods that are available, people are misled and misinformed about what it truly takes to lose weight permanently.

It's as though many people have suffered "paralysis by analysis". There is so many different points of view that become overwhelming, it causes some people to throw their hands up and do nothing.

The way to make weight loss permanent is to replace your old unproductive habits that created an unhealthy lifestyle with newer habits that support losing weight. It starts with choosing to do so.

Exercise your power of choice. You can choose to have anything, be anything, and do anything if you are willing to chose it. It is a tool at your disposal whenever you need it.

In fact, the very best tool you can use for long lasting weight loss is the tool between your ears. Your brain is the best piece of equipment you can use to lose weight and keep it off. The more you feed your mind with powerful, results producing information, the better you'll be.

Study weight loss. Make it your mission. But do not lose the simplicity of it.

Weight loss is no harder than choosing to eat right every three or four hours (the most important process in weight loss and weight management), exercising with some weights/resistance two to three times a week, and doing some form of cardio/aerobics two to three times a week.

To lose weight and stay in great shape does not require any more than 2 to 3 hours a week total of exercise. I've trained many people that have managed to stay incredibly thin and in great shape with only 2 hours a week total of exercise.

It all comes down to the way you choose to eat and live. It is your choice of lifestyle that determines what you weigh.

The most important step you can take is to make the choice that you are going to commit to this and stick with it until you accomplish what it is you want.

There are going to be many days where you want to throw in the towel and call it quits. But choose not to.

Have faith that you will get what you want. It will require patience and persistence, but so do all good things in life.

I asked you to dream about how it would feel to have your ideal body. How it would feel to be as thin as you want to be and as energetic and as vibrant as you'd like to be. How would you feel to have the strength and flexibility you want and to rid your body of those nagging aches and pains.

Dare to dream a little and then choose to go after and make those dreams come true. There's a huge difference between identifying what it is you want and choosing to go after it. Identifying what you want is the first step in the process.

You must then make the choice to go after it. In fact, I've just given you the key that will unlock any fitness goal you may have now or in the future.

The key to permanent weight loss and superb health is the fact that you choose it. Weight loss, muscle toning, or any fitness goal you may have is simply a choice that you make.

Anything you want in life, any goal or desire can be yours if you simply choose to go after it. Things just do not fall into place naturally and without effort. Yes, they do fall, just not where you want them to.

You must first "think" of what it is you want and then choose to go after it. And if you do not get what you want? Try it again. Keep trying until you get it.

If you are persistent enough and work hard enough, whatever you wish for will be yours.

Whether you want to lose fat or gain lean muscle and increase strength, you choose to do so.

In fact, life boils down to a series of choices. The better choices you make, the better your life will be.

You can choose to slim down and fit into those jeans or you can choose to give into your false feelings of hunger and deprivation.

You can choose to get behind the wheel after drinking or you can choose to hand the keys to a friend. Some of the choices you make have a long lasting and dramatic impact on your life forever.

The great thing is, if you choose to go after weight loss, you can be assured that it's within your reach because others have accomplished it. Any problems that you may face in life, chances are that someone has faced them and has already battled and conquered them.

Just follow what it is they did to come out on top. The question of whether or not it's possible is not an issue.

It's whether or not you go after it. In fact, the choices you make dictate the life you will lead.

Where you are today is the result of all the choices you have made up to this point.

If you want better, you must make better choices.You can either move ahead or stay behind.

Remember, weight loss is a choice. It's a choice, much like we chose to go to school to further our education or a choice to take a new job.

We only do things after we make the conscious decision to do them and to put our heart into them.

You can want anything in life, but it's what you're willing to go after that matters. Look at your list of goals that you have identified.

Are you willing and determined to accomplish each and every one of those goals on the list?

It's that one small factor, the step between identifying your goal and choosing to go after it, that will determine whether you succeed at weight loss or not.

Simply having goals and choosing to accomplish them is what distinguishes successful people from those that merely wish.

It wasn't until I made the conscious choice to do a bodybuilding show that I began making plans about how I was going to win it.

It had started with a thought about what I wanted and how I was going to get it. But it wasn't until I made the absolute choice to do it that I took it seriously.

Choice is powerful. Choice can be the ignition switch that fires up your vehicle that will allow you to reach your goals.

Like I said at the top. You can choose to have anything, be anything, or do anything. The choice is yours.

Begin using your power of choice. Make it a habit to chose what it is you want in life and then resolve to get it. After you have thought about what you want, choose to go after it. So many people live lives of quiet desperation because they do not make the choice to act upon their dreams.

For whatever reason they are held back by fear and often times choose not to realize their dreams. Like I mentioned earlier, if you can dream it, you can achieve it.

Look over your list of goals you have written. I want you to make the choice, right now, whether or not you are going to go after your goals.

Choosing to go after your goals is like switching the "On" switch of a piece of machinery. Until you make the conscious choice to get what you want, you are still in limbo. By making the conscious choice to go forward, you start the process of taking steps to realize your goals.

Look over your list of weight loss goals. Are you going to make the choice to go full steam. Is something still holding you back? I can tell you from personal experience, until you make the choice to go after something, the likelihood of you realizing that goal is slim.
How To Figure Weight Loss Percentage

An external barrier is an outside influence that prevents us from achieving our goal.

Do you know which external barrier that people say is the number one reason they can’t lose weight?

If you said “Time", you are right!   When asked people say that with their hectic schedule - they simply don’t have the time to exercise or to eat healthy. 

According to the dictionary the meaning of the words:

External:  Being outside of something; acting or coming from without

Barrier:    Anything that restrains or obstructs progress

At first glance we might think we have no control over external barriers.  But the truth is with the proper tools and knowledge; any barrier can be overcome – If you are willing to do what it takes.

The most common external barriers to weight loss are Time,  Lack of Support, Society and Money.

  In today’s society we tend to always be “running" somewhere.   We seldom take time to stop and relax.  Because we’re always in a hurry we chose to run through the fast food drive thru than to cook. 

Let me ask you ….

  • How often do you miss your favorite TV show?
  • When’s the last time you missed something you truly enjoy?
  • When’s the last time you missed an important meeting or appointment?

If you’re truthful with yourself the answer is “probably not very often". 

If you stop and think about it, you WILL find the time for anything that you genuinely want to do.

The key is to make time to plan your day or week.  The old saying “Fail to plan, Plan to fail" is very very true.  You know your life better than anyone else does.  Make losing weight a priority in your life and you will find the time.

When planning your week, schedule appointments with yourself for the following:

  • To exercise – this can be as simple as a 10 minute walk.  Don’t fall into the trap that you have to exercise for 30 straight minutes.  Studies show 3 10 minute sessions are just as effective.
  • To prepare your meal plan for the upcoming week, and to portion out your servings
  • To have some much needed “Alone Time".  Use your alone time for something special … a bubble bath, reading a book, a day at the spa …. What ever you enjoy.

Portion your food in serving sizes.  The best time to do this is as soon as you get home from the store.  When putting away your groceries, portion out veggies, crackers etc in baggies.  This way when you’re in hurry and running out the door you can grab something healthy to eat on your way.  Always keep fresh fruit handy, it’s one of the best “grab and go" foods you can find

To lose weight you don’t need to be a gourmet cook or spend hours in the kitchen.  You can bake or barbeque steak, chicken, hamburgers etc and portion them out for dinners.  That way during the week when you’re short on time, just reheat the meat, add a salad or frozen vegetables and some mashed potatoes or brown rice.  In less than 15 minutes you can be sitting down to a great home cooked meal.  You probably spend that much time in line at your favorite drive thru.

If you absolutely hate to cook, you have three options:

  • Buy prepackaged foods at the grocery store
  • Subscribe to a meal delivery service like Jenny Craig
  • Study all the nutrition information from your favorite fast food and sit down restaurants.  Know what your options are and you can choose the healthiest options available.

 Only eat foods you like.  Become aware of what you are eating.  Savor the food.  Know you are eating to live.  If you’re eating “just because it’s there" then stop.  When you eat slowly and are aware of the actual process of eating, you’ll soon discover that you enjoy your food more and it takes less to satisfy you.

You’ll be surprised at how little effort is required to eat healthy when you have taken the time to plan and prepare.

Lack of Support

Losing weight can be extremely difficult if you’re trying to do it alone.  It’s important to have people that understand what you’re going thru.  Someone that you can talk to that will listen to your fears and concerns.

A good friend or spouse may be supportive.  Sometimes their support can actually be barriers.  Your spouse or friend may think that you will change if you lose the weight and might subconsciously sabotage your efforts. 

Be sure your family and friends understand your goals and your reasons for wanting to lose weight.  Tell them exactly what you need from them to be supportive. 

  • Do you need gentle reassurance such as “I know you can do it".
  • Do you need reminders “Isn’t it time that you take your walk?"
  • Do you need a bully “Is that on your diet?  You shouldn’t be eating that!" 

Know what is going to motivate you and what might set you back.

Do you prefer group support?  Support groups like Weight Watchers or Tops may be helpful for you. 

If you don’t like interacting in person or there are no support groups close to your home, then you may want to consider an online meeting.  One of the best benefits of online meetings is that you can remain anonymous to a certain extent.  It may be easier to open up to strangers.  Also you can hang out, read and learn without the fear of being forced to participate.  Studies show that online support groups are just as effective as live support groups.

Find a buddy.  It’s always easier to exercise and stay on your weight loss plan when a spouse or friend is doing it with you.

Society

It seems that everything we do in our society is centered on food.  If you’re hosting a celebration of any kind - birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, holidays etc, your main concern is probably “What will I serve?"

At work, anytime someone retires, gets promoted, has a birthday, or there’s any kind of holiday … What happens?  You celebrate with food and have a potluck or a dinner party.

Our family and friends are always pushing food.  “Have another plate of spaghetti".  “Have another piece of dessert." etc.  We want their acceptance – so what do we do?  We eat. 

Our family and friends do influence our weight.  Keep this in mind and learn to tell them simply … “It is delicious but I simply can’t eat another bite."

This is where planning comes in again.  Eat a small salad or drink a can of V8 juice prior to going to these functions.  This will help you to eat less.

If you’re in charge of the food or even if you’re just brining a dish, bring something you can eat.  Fill up on the lower calorie foods and enjoy a taste of higher calorie foods.  Allow yourself only one plate. 

“Losing weight is expensive" is one of the biggest diet myths there is.  It’s only expensive if you make it that way.  There’s nothing saying you have to join a gym, or expensive support groups or buy expensive foods.

Tops (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) is a great weight loss support group with a membership fee of $24. /year.  Compare that to Weight Watchers which costs approximately $12. /week.

Meal delivery services or prepackaged food at the grocery stores can be less expensive than eating out every day.

When you shop wisely healthy food isn’t much more expensive than the junk food you’ve been buying.

Stop making excuses and begin planning for success today!
