And then you hear about those who have lost weight and keep it off . What do they know that you don't? What are the secrets to long term weight loss? How do they find and maintain a healthy lifestyle?
Well, I'm going to tell you. And if you're smart you'll not only listen but do them!!
1. One of the biggest ways people keep their weight off is to exercise! They tend to be active daily and tend to exercise at home!
2. They write down what they eat! Yup, you're going to have to keep track of what you're putting away (seriously, I know if I don't keep track I really think I've eaten far less than I have!) Get myfitnesspal, or a note book, or a fitbit and use the online tracker. Anything really - keep notes on your phone. Just keep track.
3. They eat breakfast!! YES, you need to eat breakfast! You need to jump start your metabolism in the morning. Skipping breakfast (and secretly trying to "save" those calories for a later meal just helps to derail your progress!)
4. Control your portions & choose healthier options. Rats!! You're going to have to forgo the big mac and choose the lean grilled chicken more times than not! Listen, if you choose well 80 % of the time, it'll work out!
5. They have support! See!! I've told you to join my group!! If you become accountable (post daily) you will stick with it! If you don't then you may not. Get support - offer motivation - gain accountability Really, you'll make friends, learn new things every day, get positive support and be healthier.
6. Know that you can do it -- And the real kicker, positive affirmation! Believe in yourself, really. You're in control, you can do this. We're here to help. Believe it and achieve it (sounds cheesy but I promise you it's true.) Do me a favor, every day for the next month write down something positive about yourself every morning and night! You'll feel better, you'll do better and you'll be better!!
Listen, do the above, you'll find success. You don't have to do it my way (I'm going to offer suggestions and solutions below but they are not the only ones.) If you're struggling and have wanted to get in shape for longer than you remember and you just don't know where to start then let me help you. Or let someone help you (and know you can do it.) This is the time!
And for a little guidance -
1. Exercise - hey, I'm a beachbody coach! I know about exercise! We have programs to help with any fitness level. Talk to me! If you don't know what to do, let me help! (browse the programs here: Programs to choose from ) But I can guide you with other programs, or exercises too! You don't have to do mine! I run too, I've done other videos!
2. Log it - I gave you guidance above. write it down!
3. Eat Breakfast!! Lots of healthy choices here, I personally choose Shakeology
4. Control portions/Eat Healthy - Shakeology helps with breakfast but what about your other meals? If you're my client at Beachbody (you don't have to buy anything, just join and have me as your coach) I can customize meal plans for you (and even give you a shopping list!) You can join in one of my shakeology cleanses or boot camps, I'll help all I can!
5. Support - I can help here! Join my group: My Facebook Group
6. Know you can do it! - This is all you, you have to believe in yourself (I believe in you!)
Now that you know, it's time to commit! You can do this!
