Tips and motivations on weight loss
Motivation
If you are uninspired, unmotivated or lazy to start your weight loss program, this is the best place to start!
I want to be thin, my goal is to reach 55kg in 3 months

No, don’t be alarmed, I am not attempting to lose weight.. well not that much but it is just an eye opener or motivation for some of us who are uninspired or have been forever overweight.
If you set a goal and stick it in your heart and mind and soul, I think it will motivate you more.
Write your goal on a piece of paper and put it somewhere in your room where you can see it every day. No, not under your pillow but maybe in front of a mirror or at your bedroom door.
Make baby steps at first, try to be at your own pace and increase your exercise gradually, follow your rhythm but never stop. Just keep on doing it!
I am going to do my 30 mins daily exercise on an elliptical crosstrainer.. my aim is not to concentrate so much on losing weight but the hardwork you put into doing the exercise.
I also avoid weighing myself everyday because this will only demotivate you especially when you see the weight scale going up but instead let the mirror be your judge. See any improvements because sometimes looking tone is actually adding your weight which is actually your muscle and that means an increment of weight.
Be sure to eat healthily and move more.. I know it’s always easier said than done but it’s your body, you want to look good, you have to work hard to get your ideal body… furthermore there is “No pain, no gain!”.
Eat less and use your energy

So yesterday night I did my workout with my beloved Crosstrainer for 45 mins. After 20 mins I was imagining there were 2 different voices telling me to stop and the other one telling me to carry on. But I have to say that I wanted to hear the one that said “stop” but the other part of me needed to hear “carry on”.. so in the end I did my workout till the time is out. Yes 45 mins it is.
If you feel lazy at first thinking of the time you have to spend using any exercise machine, think again – whatever you do there is always an end to it and once you manage to bring yourself to do exercise, you will feel good afterwards.
Just don’t waste your time exercising by snacking at night thinking that it is okay to snack just because you burned calories earlier on. If you want to control the urge of snacking, what you can do is brush your teeth earlier, say right after taking a shower so you won’t crave.. I believe that having fresh breath helps.
Try to eat less and frequent rather than eating 3 times a day or just 2 times a day (this is when you skipped breakfast) because eating big meals like this will just make your body produce more insulin when you start to have hunger at night which in turn will turn your body into fats.
So, what works is by eating less and frequent and exercise to burn the calories. Remember you need to burn 3500 kcal in order to lose 1lb of fats.
Make sure to have a fix exercise/workout regime like exercising 5 times a week. Don’t overdo it because that won’t help. As for me, I love thinking that Saturday and Sunday is my two day rest.
What about you? How many times a week do you exercise?
Not happy, then change it

If you are NOT happy with what you see in the mirror, change it!
Why we always tell ourselves that we are not happy with our body? What makes you think some people with slim/toned body have the body that you wisher for? It’s because they have a goal and aimed to look that way!
If you want to lose a few pounds, you need to make a goal and achieve it. You can’t fret and feel unhappy just because you are overweight and not doing anything about it.
Nowadays, they are many means and ways to help us to lose weight, they are from exercise/workout, weight loss pills, weight loss programs just to name a few but the most important thing to choose which works for you is to think whether you could do this for a lifetime and make it part of your lifestyle and if you can’t, you will definitely see yourself in a yoyo situation; the weight will go off and then it will come back again.
What I am trying to explain here is to do something which you love to do so that it will lasts forever.
If you love cycling, then do it everyday or 3 times a week. Make it a lifestyle habit and you will definitely see result.
