I was chilling out and watching The Biggest Loser On Tv. And they had all of these people on the skow who wanted to lose weight. Now I can definitely understand why someone would want to be on the biggest loser. You get to meet Sami from Days Of Our Lives and be famous and lose weight in a place where everything that you could ever want is right there for you to do your best. But then I realised that a lot of us don't have all of those things at home to help us lose weight. All we pretty much have is our motivation and neglected gym trainers. So then I wondered, being someone who doesn't really need to lose weight (I only weigh about sixty kilo's, which is great for my height), why people really want to lose weight. I think that figuring out why you want to lose weight is key to actually losing it. So spend some time thinking about why you want to lose the weight. And then when you have, figure out how. Do you need a trainer, exercise, food advice and planning, a doctor, what? Keep a weight journal. I have noticed that if I eat a balanced meal and a few sweets and fruit as snacks, then I'm great with weight. Find a solution that works for you. Eat balanced meals. Exercise. Enjoy life. Some people will realise that they just want to lose the weight so that they can do the things they want to do. Some people can already do those things. For example, one reason that I wanted to lose weight was to enjoy life more, do more stuff during the day. But I have realised that if I just leave the house early and eat enough during the day, then I can spend my day enjoying life and visitng beautiful places in this country.

Weight Buddies
When we lose or gain weight, one of the best things we can have is a sincere weight buddy to talk to about it. I know what its like to lose or gain weight and not have anyone to tell my progress or disaster to. So if anyone wants someone to talk to about their weight, I am here to be a weight buddy and I will listen for free.

Get Good Stares With Stairs
A while ago I renewed my interest in exercise. And we don't really have a lot of fitness equipment around the house. But we do live in a multi-level house which has stairs. And my brother showed me a cool trick which is great for losing weight and for cardio. I don't know where he got it from but my brother is into fitness stuff enough to know how to exercise properly and this one is a great one, plus its really simple. Ok so in your exercise gear find two stairs, preferably carpeted ones so that you don't slip. Then stand on the lower one facing up the stairs. And then all you do is step up the first step, and then backwards down again. And keep doing this for a long time. My brother recommeneds like half an hour. And you should ntice that it is affecting your calf muscles. The idea is to build up quite a sweat. You can swing your arms to tone more, and even use weights if you want a major work out. Its fun, its cheap, its works, it takes off kilo's and increases your heart rate. Have some water and a towel nearby, and go at your own pace. Always rest if you feel faint.

Losing Weight By Adapting Your Diet To Match The Season
Have you ever noticed that your eating patterns naturally follow the weather? In summer, you might notice, you probably eat lighter, cooler foods, and drink more liquids, like cool drinks. And in winter, you eat more warm and heavy foods, like stew and pies and steak and well, everything. And when you drink you drink hot soups and brandy to warm your toes. And if you are doing that I hope that you are legal age. Anyway, so the reason people do this- changing their eating habits, not drinking that is- is because its healthy. Yep, your body knows exactly what you need to eat in each and every season. So, if you want to lose weight, think seasonal. Don't go and eat heavy stews in summer, and don't try to just have one tiny piece of fruit all day in winter when your toes are frozen. Seriously, eat normally, according to season, and your weight will adjust itself. And if you don't believe me, I lost two kilo's this week, in winter, just by eating normal winter foods like stews and drinking soups. Always think season, you'll be glad you did.
