Have you seen all the media hype about weight loss? Surely, you know now you can lose 5 pounds overnight and still eat everything you want to and never gain it back? No exercise needed just take this little miracle pill and the pounds will drop right off! You and the rest of the overweight adult population have heard this drivel so many times that you don’t believe a word of it.

So how about some believable weight loss information? This article is going to give you some righteous, weight loss tips, for free. You don’t even have to buy a book, though you can if you want to.

Think about this for a minute: It may not be, entirely, your fault that you are overweight. That’s right! You may be carrying the extra weight because of genetics. In other words, you may have inherited the “fat genes,” especially if people in your family also tend to be overweight. But, and there is always a but, you have contributed to the problem by not eating right and by lack of exercise.

Now, even though you may have inherited some of the problem, you have to take responsibility for having added to the problem. It’s much easier to make the change (to lose weight) when you chose to take responsibility for doing so. For many of us, who need to lose more than a few pounds, it’s a lifestyle change. Getting back into shape is not just a 12 week program and failure is not an option because a lot of extra weight can result in cutting years off your life.

Your second weight loss tip… is to talk with your personal doctor to make sure you don’t have a sickness which might be causing you to be overweight. At the same time your physician will tell you if you’re physically fit to begin a weight loss plan. In addition he will be able to advise you on setting realistic goals for shedding those pounds.

It is important for you to set your goals so they are obtainable. They must be set high enough to be a challenge, but low enough so you don’t get demoralized quickly. If your doctor tells you to lose 50 pounds, you need to break those 50 lbs down into bite size chunks. (Pun intended)

Losing 50 pounds over a six month period is an example of a big goal that needs to be broken down. You can break this down into smaller goals of, “I only have to lose 8 lbs a month.” Then you can take it down even further to, “that’s only two pounds a week!” This gives you have a more workable goal than “I must lose 50 pounds (now.)”

For your 3rd step you need to set out a plan for exercise. Walking is a great way to start an exercise program if it’s been a long time since you have done anything. Your won’t need to by a gym membership, it’s painless, and it starts you on that good, life changing, path.

Try setting a goal of being able to walk half a mile after two weeks. Once you’ve done that try to start picking up the pace and challenge yourself more. Try and maintain as quick a pace as you can, for as long as you can, without wiping yourself out. As another goal try to get your walks up to 30 minutes and see if you can keep your heart rate around 120 for that time.

Now, while they above weight loss tips were free, there are still going to cost you: The price? You have to make the choices and take action!
