Weight Loss Goals While conducting a training session on Goal-Setting last week, one of the things that I asked the participants to do was write down a personal goal that they would like to accomplish in the upcoming year. Do you want to guess what the number one goal was at the completion of the exercise? That's right, lose weight! Without prompting or prior discussion, seventy-five percent of the participants indicated that their goal was to lose twenty to thirty-five pounds this year. This appears to be a common goal shared by many people and for obvious reasons. The benefits associated with maintaining your weight at the proper level are numerous. The improved health benefits and enhanced self-esteem alone are enough to make this a very desirable goal. Tired Of Being Overweight?

It's Time to Lose Weight As I continue the never-ending journey of losing weight and keeping it off and improving my overall health and fitness I have found it helpful to think in terms of 100. Diet Plans It seems as though every single thing that I put into my mouth contains at least 100 hundred calories so I decided to use the number 100 as my unit of measurement and set out to reduce my weight 100 calories at a time. Diet Goals My daily diet goal is 2000 calories or less, so for my three main meals each day, I try to keep the total calories under 400 and that leaves me an additional 800 calories which I use for small snacks which I try to keep under 100 calories each. Diet Tips This tip along with reducing the amount of sweets and carbohydrates and drinking more water has helped me to considerably lose more weight. No system is perfect, it's all about lifestyle changes. If you're serious about losing weight, then perhaps it's time to make a

My Diet Plan I am constantly looking for ways to refine my personal diet and weight loss program so that I can achieve the health and fitness goals that I have set for myself. With only a few minor changes in my lifestyle and paying closer attention to what I eat, I have actually managed to lose a few pounds over the past year.

As a matter of fact, I am just a regular working professional who needs to lose weight.
