Good article about things to do to jump start your weight loss.
Here are a few things they suggest:
1) Don't set a goal to exercise three days a week. Set the goal to exercise every single day. Research shows that most ppl only accomplish 60% of their weekly fitness goals. If you say 3 times a week, you are apt to only making about 1 day of that.
2) Research discovered that women who listen to music while working out lost twice as much weight as those who didn't listen to music, and music listeners walked more often each week then those who didn't listen to music.
3) Keep your diet simple. Mentally we think that having more food options/choices within our dietary weight loss plans will help us stick with a diet - that's FALSE. Variety actually stimulates your appetite. You're more likely to over-snack
4) Weigh in DAILY - according to research from the National Weight Control Registry, which tracks more than 4,000 ppl who have lost 30 + pounds and kept it off for at least one year - weighing daily was one key to their success. It's essential to know where you are with your weight.
Some other things included keeping a food and exercise journal, apparently most dieters under-report calorie intake and over reported exercise by half without the journal. When dining out, order first, if you order first most likely you have made the best choice on the menu for your diet - if you order after other ppl you are more likely to switch your first choice to something similar to what they ordered.
