Get a weight loss partner. It is easier to lose weight when you have a person to share the experience with. Whether the partner competes with you or coaches you, it will add fun to your endeavor and lead to positive things.
French Fries
Does anyone not like french fries? They are usually a great pitfall for many who want to lose weight. There is, however, a healthy french fry alternative that you can bake yourself. Cut your potatoes about a 1/2″ thick, put them into a bowl with a tbsp. of oil, then lightly add a pinch of rosemary (optional), salt, and pepper; bake one layer for 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Loosen using a spatula and then bake for about 10 minutes longer. These can be eaten with ketchup just like French fries, but you won’t miss the deep-fried calories. These “French Bakes” were provided by Laurel’s Kitchen cookbook.
To help you maintain your focus and achieve your weight loss goals, it is a great idea to get a fitness partner. Finding someone with the same goals will help to increase your level of motivation. Both of you can give each other support when someone is down and it makes it easier to get through the tougher periods.
You will have better chances in losing weight if you spend time with friends who are regularly active. When we are around those who are active, we tend to be more active. A constant television watcher is not going to encourage you to be active.
You have to have shoes that fit you well when you are ready to start exercising. Workouts put a lot of stress on your body, and ill-fitting or otherwise unsuitable shoes can add to this stress and even cause injury. You don’t have to spend a lot of money as long as you get shoes that fit properly.
Now that you are aware of what needs to be done to quickly lose weight, the only thing left to do is to put this plan in action. Do not waste this opportunity; use the things you’ve learned from this guide, and do not stop until you have reached you goal.
