Welcome to my weight loss dieting tips blog of the same name. I've been working on my own weight problems for several years now and at last I believe I have finally cracked it. Here is a bit of background of how I got here and why I decided to create this blog to help others who, like I was before I learned what I know today, find it so hard to lose weight.
Two years ago I had gotten to the stage where at 5 feet 9 inches tall and of medium build I had grown to a crazy 210 pounds in weight and felt sluggish, demotivated and deperssed. I had made several half hearted attempts at losing weight before that but never managed to lose more than a few pounds which I soon put back as soon as I stopped dieting. I decided that enough was enough and if other folks could walk around looking happy and the right weight for their height, then so could I. I just didn't know where to begin.
So I started freading up on all the weight loss tips online in deozens of websites until my eyes hurt. While they all seemed to be pimping this or that diet company or brand diet, the information was sorta telling me pretty much the same thing. Cutting through all the hype and sales stuff, I got the underlying message that there really is no magic bullet or fancy diet that will make anyone lose weight. Its all down to the individual to want it enough that they get determined to stick to a plan and follow it through.
The basic plan is simplicity itself and really involves eating right, getting daily exercise and keeping a positive mental attitude.
Those three little things sound easy on paper, but its not so eay when you are eating wrong, getting little or no exercise and you have a negative mental attitude. Its like a freakin' mountain to climb! But I had made my choice and it was either climb that darn mountain, or sink in the mud getting ever heavier and lazier and fatter and wallowing in self-loathing.
I chose the mountain.
I now weigh a healthy 160 pounds, of which there is not much body fat and more muscle than I think I ever had. This blog is about how I did it.
