#8 WEIGHT LOSS TIPS TO START
START WITH THESE 8 WEIGHT-LOSS TIPS:
1. DECIDE!
This is the #1 most important thing ever. YOU have to decide that you’re sick of the way you’ve been living and it’s time for a change. YOU have to hit that point – no one will be able to force you to do it. YOU have to put in the work every day, so this commitment and decision have to come from YOU!
I’ve worked with people before who hadn’t fully decided but hired me as a trainer anyway. It was very obvious because the drive, determination and any spark were gone quickly. In fact, many even lied to me about what they were eating or would hide it from me when I would enter the room!. It absolutely has to be for YOU!
2. GO FOR A WALK
Walking has incredible benefits and you can do it anytime, anywhere.Walking is a low-stress, low-impact form of exercise (unlike running and jumping) and is an excellent fat burner. Just lace up your walking shoes, running shoes, training shoes (whatever!) and go! This is the perfect time to listen to motivational podcasts, your favorite playlist or an audio book.

3. CREATE A VISION BOARD
Go through a bunch of magazines and cut out pictures of your dream life, body, mindset, house, etc. Put it all on a cork or poster board and hang it up in a place that you’ll see every day. Look at it, envision what it feels like to reach those goals (yes, you can close your eyes) and DECIDE that you will get there no matter what.
4. DON’T DRINK YOUR CALORIES – WATER ONLY!
Why do you want to lose weight?
You need to write this down and put it everywhere: on your vision board, on the bathroom mirror, in your car, on your phone, in your wallet, at your desk…you get the picture!
It has to be something emotionally compelling like, “I want to be fit and energized to chase my kids around without feeling out of breath”, “I want to feel good in this dress/suit I bought for my best friend’s wedding,” or “I want to live longer than my parents.” And please don’t fall victim to the meme, “Do it for those who said you couldn’t.” Who cares about those people!

6. BALANCE AND STABILITY
Start by doing exercises while balancing on one foot or on an unstable.
This will help your neuromuscular system to work more efficiently, as well as strengthen your core and stabilizer muscles to reduce pain and injury.
7. START TRACKING YOUR FOOD
How much are you eating? Do you even know?
Many people have no clue how many calories they are eating. According to one study in the New England Journal of Medicine, two groups of individuals (one with a history of diet resistance and one without) that were similar in weight, BMI, body fat percentage, level of education and history of employment were asked to report how many calories they thought they had consumed in a day. Both groups under reported their calorie intake by roughly 1,000 calories or MORE!
On the other side of the coin, too few calories can prevent your body from losing weight and getting rid of that extra stubborn fat because it’s in starvation mode, literally. You have to eat enough before your body starts burning stored fat.
Now, do you see why tracking your food is so important?
8. BE PRESENT WHEN YOU EAT
It’s time to disconnect while you eat. Did you know that digestion begins with your eyes? Your eyes see the food and then your mouth produces enzymes in your saliva to kick off the digestion process before you swallow.
Oh, and what about chewing? Do you even chew your food before swallowing or are you in such a rush that you just stuff your face? Seriously – be honest with these questions. Aim to chew your food 25 times before swallowing, that’s what teeth are for. You ever feel airy and bloated after you eat? Chewing and actually allowing your food to mix with your saliva instead of scarfing it down in record time can help with that tremendously.
So, I’ve given you 8 places to start. Choose one and master it and then move on to the next
