Regardless of how small that action is to start off, but providing you are heading in the right direction, the desired effect of lowering your measurements will follow. Most people give up on their goal to lose weight too soon. Losing weight does require a lot of faith in yourself to believe that you can shrink in size especially when you stand in front of a mirror and wonder how you are going to lose those extra rolls of fat from the waistline. Some people have been overweight all of their life so they have no memory of what it is like to be slim. This is where faith comes into the picture. It requires a lot of faith in yourself to believe that you can shred the extra kilos or pounds when you have never been slim. You are travelling into unchartered waters in your own personal weight loss journey. As a suggestion, don&#8217;t leave your weight loss to chance. Have a road map for losing weight.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey, remember in the classic movie &#8216;Mary Poppins&#8217;, there is a song<br />
with the words &#8230;.&#8217;just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine<br />
go down&#8230;&#8217;</p>
<p>Well for some strange reason I was playing that tune in my mind<br />
recently and I thought of these words &#8230;.&#8217;just a little bit of action<br />
makes the measurements go down &#8230;.&#8217;</p>
<p>As silly as this all might sound, the truth of the matter is that<br />
your desired outcome requires action. Regardless of how small that<br />
action is to start off, but providing you are heading in the right<br />
direction, the desired effect of lowering your measurements will<br />
follow.</p>
<p>Most people give up on their goal to lose weight too soon. Losing<br />
weight does require a lot of faith in yourself to believe that you<br />
can shrink in size especially when you stand in front of a mirror<br />
and wonder how you are going to lose those extra rolls of fat from<br />
the waistline.</p>
<p>Some people have been overweight all of their life so they have no<br />
memory of what it is like to be slim.</p>
<p>This is where faith comes into the picture. It requires a lot of<br />
faith in yourself to believe that you can shred the extra kilos or<br />
pounds when you have never been slim. You are travelling into<br />
unchartered waters in your own personal weight loss journey.</p>
<p>As a suggestion, don&#8217;t leave your weight loss to chance. Have a<br />
road map for losing weight. Use the 12 week weight loss challenge<br />
worksheets. Apply the guidelines of getting some exercise, drinking<br />
plenty of water, eating a colourful meal, avoiding high calorie<br />
snacking and by filling in the worksheets and start being<br />
accountable to yourself.</p>
<p>You just need to have enough faith and belief in yourself to<br />
achieve the next step. Let the future take care of itself.</p>
<p>Start with getting today in order first.</p>
<p>Join my 12 Week Weight Loss Challenge today and get started<br />
with your own challenge to lose the extra pounds and kilos<br />
before 2010</p>
<p>The only cost to you is EFFORT</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi everybody, One thing I have learnt from my experiences in the Local Weight Loss Challenges is this:- Having a goal to loss weight is one thing, but having a realistic plan to reach that goal is another thing. You may have heard it said that if you want to lose weight, place a slim photo of yourself from years ago on the fridge so that you can see what you use to look like.

VISUALISING and being clear about our goals is the first step to achieving them. But what seems to discourage a lot of people is the not knowing just how long it will take for them to achieve their goal weight. For many people, as well as for myself in the past, we have used &#8216; guess work&#8217; for wanting to achieve our goals. Without a REALISTIC PLAN and some realism, having weight loss goals can end up going nowhere and virtually stay as a &#8216;wish&#8217;.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi everybody,</p>
<p>One thing I have learnt from my experiences in the Local Weight<br />
Loss Challenges is this:-</p>
<p>Having a goal to loss weight is one thing, but having a realistic<br />
plan to reach that goal is another thing.</p>
<p>You may have heard it said that if you want to lose weight, place a<br />
slim photo of yourself from years ago on the fridge so that you can<br />
see what you use to look like.</p>
<p>Or similarly, keep a pair of jeans that you use to fit into and put<br />
them somewhere visible so that they are within your sights everyday.</p>
<p>Nothing wrong with this concept. <strong>VISUALISING</strong> and being clear about<br />
our goals is the first step to achieving them.</p>
<p>But what seems to discourage a lot of people is the not knowing<br />
just how long it will take for them to achieve their goal weight.</p>
<p>For many people, as well as for myself in the past, we have used &#8216;<br />
guess work&#8217; for wanting to achieve our goals.</p>
<p><strong>Without a REALISTIC PLAN and some realism, having weight loss goals<br />
can end up going nowhere and virtually stay as a &#8216;wish&#8217;.</strong></p>
<p>Many people get scared to make a serious commitment just in case<br />
they don&#8217;t reach their goal.  </p>
<p>When participants join our Local Weight Loss Challenges, it does<br />
not take them long into the challenge before they realise that it<br />
is harder than they first thought.</p>
<p>This is where commitment and seriousness need to exist.</p>
<p>I find that participants become very disappointed when they<br />
struggle to stick to new habits learned.</p>
<p>This is the point in the challenge where the participants can allow<br />
themselves to become discouraged and disappointed.</p>
<p>In a nutshell, when people have a hard time seeing themselves<br />
accomplishing things, they tend to give up. </p>
<p>As with anything worthwhile, learning the necessary new habits to<br />
reaching your goals are the important thing. </p>
<p>Weight Loss Challenges are about breaking down the concepts that we<br />
need to learn into bite size pieces so that we can begin applying<br />
them with success. </p>
<p>There is <u>NO HYPE</u> to keep you in, just realistic learning.</p>
<p>If you are serious about weight loss and you need some assistance<br />
and support, join our Online 12 Week Weight Loss Challenge, set<br />
some goals and apply some new habits from week to week. </p>
<p><u>Just enter your name and email address to get started via our<br />
opt-in form on this blog</u>.</p>
<p>Looking forward to assisting you.</p>
