My experience with weight loss has led me to believe that there are seven steps to weight-loss success. These are:
1. Believe that you can succeed
2. Set a goal
3. Regular exercise
4. Good nutrition
5. Measure your progress
6. Make whatever changes are necessary
7. Persist
1 ) Believe that you can suceed.
The first key to success is the belief that you can succeed - acceptance that you could indeed be thinner. Write down why you want to be thinner e.g. I want to have the energy to keep up with my four year old. Take time to visualise what it will be like when you've reached your weight loss goal. Put a copy of your reason to be thinner wher you can use it to remind yourself of why you're doing this.
2) Set your Goal.
Your weight-loss goal should be specific for instance - I will lose 20 lbs in 12 weeks. Write down your goal and keep it with your reason to lose weight. I would suggest that you review this goal, and your progress towards it at least weekly.
3) Regular Exercise Program.
I believe that any weight-loss program is incomplete without a sound exercise program, one that includes both cardiovascular and resistance training. There are articles on this web site that will help you start and keep your exercise program interesting. My major successes have come when I have combined both a resistance training program with a cardiovascular program.
4 ) Make good Nutrition a Part of your Life.
As you increase your activity level then you should begin taking a good quality multivitamin particularly one that has anti-oxidants. Articles that describe the nutrition component can be found on this web page.
5 ) Measure your progress on a regular basis.
I suggest weekly weigh-ins and measurement sessions. It is important to monitor your progress towards your goal. This allows you to know whether your exercise and nutrition program is working or whether you need to modify the strategy you're following.
6) Make whatever changes are Necessary
If you find that you've hit a plateau in your weight-loss, then it's time to make some changes. Things to try are to change your cardio program, if you've been using the exercise bike try running or rowing. Change up your resistance program. Your body adapts to the exercises you're doing so it's good to change every four weeks. Take a long hard look at your nutrition program. Are you cheating? The only person you're cheating is yourself. I find that I lose more weight when I restrict the amount of pasta that I eat. I generally replace the pasta with more protein and fibrous carbs.
7) Persist
Perhaps the hardest part of any program is keeping it up. Hopefully the diet and nutrition programs will become an integrated part of your lifestyle and not something that has to kept up. Review your goal and your reason for wanting to lose weight regularly.

THE TRUTH ABOUT MAKING MONEY ONLINE
THE TRUTH ABOUT MAKING MONEY ONLINE
Empty Promises
I'm sure you've seen them. "You could be making money by this time tomorrow", or "you could be going in a few hours from now..." Or how about my favorite, "make money in the next 15 minutes." We've all seen them. The empty promises that marketers use to lure in unsuspecting victims just trying to start their life of a hassle free, no boss, job from home. These people that, just like the marketers "catering to their needs," who probably set out to do the same thing when they first started, just trying enjoy life instead of throwing it away forever, living paycheck to paycheck don't know what they're getting themselves into, believe everything they say, just to find out that they'll probably never be successful.
What they're told is that they'll be making money in 15 minutes, but do you think they really are? Of course not. If making money almost instantly like that was that easy, then there would be a lot more people doing it. But there isn't that many. Only about 5 to 10% of marketers make enough to live off of and are considered "rich." And let me tell you, they didn't do it over night. Heck, if you ever check out Stone Evans' main page, in the heading it says "...after 24 months..." That's pretty honest. And if you visit my web site, the-cashgenerator.com then you'll see that I straight up tell you that it takes at least a good week to set everything up. No guarantees of becoming rich that fast. You might make some sales, but from experience, this business is as hard as any, yet seemingly easy on the surface.
When I first got started I was sucked in the way everyone else was. I went to a few of the big named websites and they said I could be making in a day or less. I of course thought this was great because I don't know about you, but I hated my job. I worked in a warehouse, and if you know anything about that, then you know it is some tough physical labor. Anyways, so I bought a few of these ebooks just to find out that I needed a lot more money to start than I thought I did. Through vague instructions and complicated techniques I found myself out 400 dollars, and here it was a month and a half later, with not a single sale. I don't mean to make this into a personal narrative; I just want other to learn from my mistake. I have never seen a product or program that had me going in a day or less. This stuff takes time, and the reason that they say you can be making money that fast is because they have the resources to do so. You do not. You have to learn everything from scratch. They don't. So if you're ready to learn more about the truth, please proceed...
