Your question: Where do I start?

Your question: Where do I start? My answer: Right here! This post will give you the breakdown of what it means to lose weight and how it's done in the simplest terms possible.
 We are really only required to have working knowledge of weightloss, we don't have to be gurus to lose the weight.

Less calories taken in + more calories burned = weight loss!

It is THAT simple. Eat less and move more! Although, you really don't HAVE to exercise to lose weight, you should exercise to be healthy (it also speeds up your weightloss, and that is a big plus). You really don't even need to exercise all that much to maintain a healthy weight and kickstart your metabolism to lose weight. Just about 30 minutes 3-4 days a week. You may want to plug your information into a free calorie calculator like this one to find out how many calories you need to consume in order to lose weight. You can find out how many calories are in what food by searching for it on Calorie King's website.


Do something you LOVE!

This is my biggest issue. If I begin an exercise regimen and decide I don't like it from the start, there is a 99.9% chance I will not follow through with it. I am the queen of excuses and if I don't like the exercise regimen I'm doing, I will come up with any and every excuse in the book not to do it. Some fun programs I reccomend would be Turbo Jam or Hip Hop Abs. You are more likely to keep pressing play because you love it rather than because you feel like you have to. When I'm truly dreading a workout or am tired of a specific workout video, I catch myself literally "ugghhh"-ing at the t.v., or mocking the trainer. Not very nice, I know.

Stay encouraged!

P.S. I want to apologize to anyone who has already read this post. Blogger decided to take it offline for a bit, and when it came back up it was posted as a new blog entry and my turmeric blog entry was missing. Awesome.
