Hi,

Welcome to all of our new subscribers, I'm glad you're here. To all of our old subscribers I'm glad you're here too!

Most of us know what we should be doing to achieve our weight loss goals but we lack the motivation or willpower to stick at it. If you are like me, when you start on a  weight loss or get fit plan, you jump in at the deep end and over do everything. Sure, sometimes you last from one to three weeks, by then the initial motivation has gone and that's when we give up.

Easy Tip Of The Week:

The key to successful weight loss  is about finding the right balance between the food that is both delicious and full of vitamins, and exercise that's fun and energizing. Sounds good, doesn't it? And the best thing is that by making small changes on a daily basis, you'll not only look great, you will also make yourself very happy and your family proud.

Exercise

Do some kind of activity everyday for at least 60 minutes. Don’t make up a workout routine—just DO something. You can start RIGHT NOW while you are reading this newsletter. 

Just think about something that you enjoy doing that requires you to move. YOU WILL LOSE MORE WEIGHT…doing something you like (love) to do. You will stick with it longer because it doesn’t seem like work.

Even activities that aren't always enjoyable like yard work, gardening or housecleaning can be done to lose weight. They are not just chores to do around your home but they are weight loss exercises as well.
