8 Mistakes I Made While Trying To Lose Weight
 
by Darren MacLeod
I went on my first diet around five years ago. Over the past four and a half years my weight went up and down as I tried every diet and exercise program under the sun. Nothing seemed to work for me. Until six months ago I enrolled in a weight workshop which taught me that I need to change the way I look at food. It was then that I realized that I had made many mistakes in my quest to lose weight. In this article I'm going to share with you eight mistakes I made on my quest to lose weight. I hope by sharing my experiences with others throughout the world via the internet I might be able to help people avoid the mistakes I made. So, here are the eight mistakes I made while trying to lose weight.
1. I started to skip breakfast Most people trying to lose weight believe simply eating less and skipping meals helps shed that fat. And breakfast is a real easy meal to skip. This is one of the biggest mistakes you can make when on a weight loss diet. If you leave the house in the morning on an empty stomach you're much more tempted to eat more at morning tea and lunch times. And, calories you eat at breakfast time are easily burnt throughout the day.
2. I would eat one day and not the next I would literally eat about 2000+ calories one day, feel guilty, and end up eating about 700 calories the following day. If you "starve" yourself throughout the day you're much more likely to eat more in the evenings, which is not going to help you lose weight. You should consume most of your calories in the morning.
3. I bought diet food When I went shopping I always looked for the foods marked diet, low-fat, healthy etc. This is a good practice to get into, but I was buying these foods for the wrong reason. I bought these foods because in my mind it meant I could more. I would totally disregard portion size. If you eat diet foods in large portions you're not doing yourself any favors.
4. I thought I'd always be fat This is mindset that you must break if you want to lose some serious weight. Sometimes it feels like you're doing the right things and not making any progress, this is totally natural. You need to focus on being happy and healthy and achieving your goals. Try not to get caught up in "the big picture".
5. I started eating salads as main meals Eating salad is a good way of keeping your calorie intake down right? Yes, meal of salad has much less calories that a pizza but does it have the satisfaction? When you eat you mind needs to get some satisfaction from what you have just eaten. I found that when I ate salads for meals a few hours later I was back I the cupboard looking for more food. I learnt that I was better off eating a balanced meal with slightly more calories than simply eating a salad and snacking afterwards.
6. I started my new diets on Mondays When I found a new diet that I decided I was going to try I always started it on a Monday. This meant I would eat all weekend like I was never going to eat again. Doing this I was just setting myself up for failure.
7. I was to embarrassed to go to the gym Taking the plunge and joining a gym was one of the hardest things I ever did. I was always worried that people in the gym would be staring at me and talking about me. I really thought I was too fat to join. My advice is to join a gym! You'll be glad you did. I look forward to going to the gym now.
8. I set my goals to high Setting long term goals is great, but these goals always seem to far off. You need to set smaller, more reachable goals that you can regularly meet to keep your motivation high. Set yourself weekly, monthly and three monthly goals. Once you meet one short term goal set a new one for next week.
So there you have it, those are the mistakes I made. I now look at weight loss from a totally different perspective and it has paid off. I now help others with weight loss and keeping healthy.

Take the Sony Walkman NW-S200 to the Gym With You
Meet your newest best friend in fighting the bulge - the Sony Walkman NW-S200 MP3 player. This gadget is a mean, lean fighting machine with a built in calorie counter, pedometer, stopwatch and music pacer. This is not your ordinary MP3 player. How can I count it's worthiness?
You input your age, height and weight into the MP3 Player. Strap it on your arm and hop on to the treadmill. Whether you are walking or running, the Music Pacer will switch your created playlists based on your pace. You can even set the amount of time you want to work out, calories to burn or travel distance. At the end of each workout, this tiny device lights up and tells you that calories burned are equal to so many burgers, cakes, and sweets. Very nice.
Other Mp3 features are: 2GB Built-in Memory, Built-in FM Tuner, Quick Battery Charge, Shuffle Shake, Multi Language Display, 5 Mode Equalizer and Water Resistent.
This is going to be one of the hottest holiday items for all fitness lovers. The Sony NW-S200 is available for purchase at Sonystyle.com for $149.95US.

You Do Have What It Takes For Weight Loss: Dream!
I challenge you to DREAM. Yes, DREAM. By starting out with a solid foundation for what you want to achieve you will be much more likely to succeed. D -- Do you have the DETERMINATION to succeed? R -- Are you REALISTIC with respect to your goals and what it takes to achieve them? E -- Are you willing to EDUCATE yourself about better food choices, eating habits, exercise, and other lifestyle choices? A -- Are you ready to take ACTION? M -- Are you ready to put the first four to work to enhance the power of the single most important key for MOTIVATION?
Each of these choices is important for your success!
DETERMINATION Keeps You Going
Determination is a key factor in successful weight loss. It is influenced by your perception or attitude about weight loss. You may find you need to make a shift in the way you feel now to give yourself positive energy for success.
Most of all you need to believe in your ability to lose weight. Are you ready to be your own cheerleader? This is essential!
REALISTIC!
Are you REALISTIC about the goal you have chosen? Are you REALISTIC about how you will lose the extra pounds and then keep it off?
Successful losers (those who not only lose weight but who successfully keep it off) have many similarities in their diet and lifestyle choices. This is especially true for those who lose a substantial amount of weight.
The National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) was established in 1994 to track the stories of people who have lost at least 30 pounds and maintained that weight loss for at least a year. Evidently the average participant has lost about 60 pounds and kept the weight off for about five years so far. About half of the NWCR participants lost weight by participating in formal weight loss programs. The other half lost the weight on their own.
Most of the participants lost weight and maintained that loss with a low fat and low calorie diet. The diets provided variety, balance, and adequate nutrients. Also, from what I can determine, all of the successful losers exercise regularly.
EDUCATE YOURSELF: Take Responsibility!
Educate yourself about what it means to be healthy. Read about or take a class on nutrition. Be sure your information is coming from a qualified health professional.
Find out what a healthy weight range would be for you given your age, height, and sex. A healthy diet will not only help you achieve your goals for weight loss but will help you maintain that loss.
In addition to choosing a healthy diet, successful weight loss means making appropriate lifestyle changes. Consider hiring a personal trainer to motivate you and teach you the benefits of exercise.
Also, learn as much as you can about your current habits. Why do you eat what you eat? What triggers you to make inappropriate food choices or eat more than you need? Consider keeping a food journal.
Take the time to find a healthy eating plan that fits your preferences. For example, do you want to weigh and measure each bite you eat or would you prefer to eat low calorie but high volume foods (high in water and fiber) and eat all you want?
Are you one of the rare individuals who can radically change your eating habits overnight and maintain the change? Or would you prefer to ease into healthier eating habits and accept slower weight loss?
TAKE ACTION!
Over time choose to change one less than positive behavior for another. Each time you adopt a new positive habit, consider it to be a small victory--an opportunity to celebrate your progress! This can be an effective way to increase your motivation.
There are many small changes you could make to enhance your progress. For example, you might find someone to whom you are accountable for your progress. Or you might ask yourself if you are drinking plenty of water? If you are not getting enough sleep, what can you do to remedy that situation?
MOTIVATION
There is one thing you absolutely must have to follow through on doing what you need to do. It is a very powerful but simple concept. The single most important key is to KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT. Your reason must be compelling and meaningful!
For example you might have a goal to lose a certain amount of weight before your wedding in a few months. Or maybe you are close to my age (over 40...) and you have some serious concerns about your health that are impacted by weight.
Be sure your reason is something meaningful to you. If you attempt to lose weight to please someone else, your chances for success are slim.
So if weight loss is on your mind for an important and personal reason, then dare to DREAM!
DREAM: have determination, be realistic, be willing to educate yourself, take action, and get motivated by knowing exactly what you want! You CAN succeed.

7 Excuses For Not Starting Up Your Weight Loss Diet
Changing habits is one of the most difficult challanges we human beings are facing. This also applies to changing food habits, and especially starting a weight loss diet, when you are used to eating what you want when you want it. When we feel defeated by this challenge it is easy to find excuses for not doing it. I'll discuss 7 common excuses for not starting up or staying on a fitness diet, and give you some tips on what to do to get your mind "on track" again. 1." I simply love good food, I will never be able to carry this diet out!"
There are two points worth commenting on in this statement. If you tell yourself that you will never be able to carry out your fat loss diet, I can almost guarantee you, you won't. What you should tell yourself is: "I definately will be able to carry out this fat loss diet" and repeat it as often as possible. If you do, your mind will trust you more and more and finally it will know this as the truth.
Who said that you can't eat good food? There are plenty of delicious gourmet foods you can eat while you lose weight and you can eat as much food as you want - but you have to eat it in certain combinations. There are weight loss programs today that pay attention to anybody's needs and preferences and empahsize certain foods as the main ingredients in the diet. Chose a diet for losing weight that fit your preferences and tastes best.
2. "I have tried this many times before and I'm always falling back to my old eating habits before I have reached my weight loss goal. "
So, why not do it right this time? What did you do wrong last time, so you flipped out from your weight loss program? And the time before that? And before that? Do you see a pattern here? Did you use the same excuses? Be aware of what you said to yourself to justify the quitting of your diet. Look at your mistakes in a positive way, learn from them and do not make the same mistake this time.
3. "I will not be able to do my work good enough when I have to starve every day."
If you have been on a diet for losing weight before, you know that this is BS. First, after a few days of little but healthy food - you will feel an increase in your energy. If you exercise in addition, the raise in energy will be even greater.
And which other person but yourself, said that you have to starve? There are fat loss plans out there structured so that you'll never even have the slightest starving feeling during the dieting period. So that is no excuse for omitting your diet at all.
4. "My family and I always go to Sizzler's every sunday - a tradition that we love."
If that is a family tradition you love, there is no reason to stop it. If you chose a high protein diet, you can eat as much grilled meat as you want and even mix it with vegatables and carb substitutes. Or if you prefer fruits and vegatables - stay to these. Anyway, eat which ever combination you want but don't eat so much -especially of foods high in fat and sugar. If this is the only "freak-out" per week, go to Sizzler's, MacDonald's, Golden Coral or wherever, and eat as much as you want. But stay on the diet the rest of the week, and you'll still lose weight.
5. "I love to take a glass or two of cold beer when I'm sitting in the garden after dinner."
Do it, but not every day. If you limit it to let's say twice a week, you're on the safe side; You will still lose weight if you stay on your diet, even with a few glasses of beer, vine or brandy per week. So, don't use this argument for an excuse not to begin to lose excess fat.
6. "I travel much in my job, and have to stay in hotels and eat the hotel's food."
Most hotels will give you the food you order. If you stay on a low fat diet, order low fat food or chose food low in fat from the buffet. The same with low carb diets; order meat, fish, low carb vegetables and even carbohydrate substitutes. So, if you really want to lose weight, the hotel and traveling life is no valid excuse for omitting your weight loss.
7. "Many fat people seem to be very happy - why can't I just be happy with who I am?"
Maybe you can. The question you have to ask yourself is: Am I happy with myself now? If you can answer an honest "yes" to this question, stay away from weight loss diets. If your answer is "no", then find a diet among the arsenal of different types of diets offered today, that fits your needs and preferences best.
The selection of diets has never been bigger or more varied than today, so you can find one that fits you and your needs perfectly.

Battling An Eating Disorder: When Bulimia Becomes A True American Idol Sized Problem
In a People Magazine article, American Idol contestant, Katherine McPhee disclosed that she has secretly suffered from bulimia for the past five years. It was her success in television’s American Idol competition that inspired her to come forward and get help to recover from her life-threatening eating disorder. Katherine, a vocalist who at her worst point was self-inducing vomiting up to seven times a day, claimed that she realized her bulimic behaviors were “equivalent to taking a sledgehammer to her throat” and brought herself to treatment.
Glamorizing Eating Disorder Illnesses? Or Becoming an Invaluable Role Model?
Some may think when celebrities like Katherine come forward with such problems it only “glamorizes” the illness and encourages dysfunction in impressionable young people. In reality, some impressionable youngsters may respond by engaging in self-destructive experimentation, but for the most part, the responses of people like Katherine McPhee provide invaluable role modeling for fans. Though statistics show that 1 percent of young females in this country suffer with bulimia, the numbers most likely do not reflect the enormity of the problem, as bulimia is among the most frequently missed diagnoses, and only a minority of people with eating disorders, especially with bulimia nervosa, are treated in mental healthcare. A problem cannot be solved until it is defined. In coming forward as she has, McPhee has displayed the courage and intention to achieve her dreams, to become proactive in making her life as healthy, gratified and fulfilled as it can be. Despite the widely held misconception that “once eating disordered, always eating disordered,” eating disorders are fully curable in 80 percent of cases where recognized early and treated effectively. In her forthright and courageous stand, this American Idol contestant has become a true American idol. Uncovering the Secrets of Bulimia Nervosa and Anorexia Nervosa: The Most Lethal Mental Health Disorders The most lethal of all the metal health disorders, bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa are extremely hard to recognize. Highly secretive diseases, they rarely show up in doctors’ offices during physical or functional assessments; even laboratory tests do not show evidence of eating disorders until they are in their most advanced stages. By their nature counterintuitive, eating disorders typically give victims a pseudo-sense of power and control, creating the illusion of feeling and becoming “better than ever.” In actual fact, certain stages of recovery feel more precarious and painful than does the disease itself. Making matters even more confusing, many of the symptoms of these lethal disorders lay somewhere along the continuum of normal human behaviors. Who doesn’t overeat, under-eat or engage in emotional or social eating at times? Eating disorders, which essentially represent an abuse of food in an effort to resolve emotional problems, transcend a dysfunctional relationship with food to represent the tip of a physical, emotional, cognitive, behavioral and social iceberg, with early signs of clinical eating disorders typically evident in diverse life spheres. 8 signs that parents and families may see at home, around the dinner table, in the family bathroom, or the child’s bedroom: • Erratic eating, eating too much or too little, too frequently or too seldom. • Dieting and other restrictive eating behaviors (in some instances vegetarianism or skipping meals) that can result in extreme hunger and gorging, irregular menstrual periods. • Fear of putting on weight, with an all-encompassing preoccupation with food and eating that can account for as much as 80 percent of an individual’s thoughts • Hiding food, and feeling shame and guilt after eating it. The refusal to eat in the company of others. • Depressive moods • Various forms of purging, including self-induced vomiting, excessive exercising, laxative, diuretic, or Ipecac abuse • Disappearances into the bathroom during or following meals • Impulsive, immoderate and out of control behaviors beyond the realm of eating, that might include shop lifting, promiscuity, cutting, engaging in chaotic relationships, abuse of substances such as drugs, alcohol, nicotine, diet pills, etc. There is nothing passive about eating disorders. Always on the move, they are either getting better or you can be certain they are getting worse. Eating disorder recovery can be a long-term process, requiring input from a diverse team of professionals including physicians, psychotherapists, family therapists, nutritionists, psycho pharmacologists and school counselors. The course of recovery will be as variable, must be as comprehensive, and in many ways will feel as convoluted as the course of disease, typically combining outpatient and inpatient treatment milieus and diverse treatment modes. Victims of eating disorders, as young as age 5 or as old as 60, male or female, individuals alone or living within the context of a supportive or not so supportive family system need help to recognize, accept and conquer these diseases…to become capable of reclaiming their lives, proactively, with steadfast commitment… to fight the good fight for life and life quality.

Core Secrets - Lose Weight & Tone
Gunnar Peterson shares techniques for keeping Hollywood's A-list fit. The secret is - Core Secrets! Make your workout work for you! Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle tone or take the first step toward full-body fitness, Core Secrets® is your solution! These effective, easy-to-use programs were designed to help you customize your workout for more efficient fitness training.
To successfully train your core, you need a wide variety of exercises that target the muscles from many different angles and planes of motion–and the Core Secrets® "on-the-ball" program can help you accomplish that. The Fitness Ball's round, mobile surface forces the core muscles to work harder to maintain balance. And unlike traditional exercises and floor-work, the ball enables you to work more muscle groups, with more efficiency–for better, faster results!
The 1-2-3 Core program is designed to stimulate your body's metabolism, facilitating healthy weight loss. How? Each sequence of exercises consists of four sets, which alternate between muscle groups in the upper body, lower body and your core–so you can work longer with less muscle fatigue. This enables you to reduce your rest time between exercises–so you burn more calories than you would with weight lifting alone. And, since your body stays in constant motion, your heart rate stays elevated throughout the workout.
Efficient, effective-and fun!
The Core Secrets® program helps you burn more calories, tone more muscle groups, and melt away more inches–more efficiently than traditional exercise programs. How? When you alternate exercises between the upper and lower body, your heart and lungs have to work harder to send blood through to these major muscle groups at opposite ends of the body – burning more calories than you would with weight lifting or aerobics alone. Plus, since your entire workout is done on the Fitness Ball, your core muscles are engaged during every exercise just to maintain your balance. What's more, thanks to constant mobility, your muscles have to fire differently each time you do it–so your workout always stays challenging, fresh and fun.
Tailored training in the comfort of your home.
Core Secrets® offers you something few fitness programs can: total flexibility with proven results. Almost any exercise you can do in a gym, on a machine–you can do on the ball, in the comfort and privacy of your living room. The program is designed to progress with you, so you can make it as easy or as difficult as you want, by gradually adding weights to your workouts. The Core Secrets® system will help you to stay motivated in your workouts. About every other month, you will receive two new Core Secrets® videos that will help you to vary your workout routine and continuously challenge yourself. If you prefer to buy one of the Core Secrets® Basic workout kits instead, you can start with the FUN-damentals video and gradually work your way up to the Accelerated Core Training video. Either way, the best part is you'll see guaranteed results in as little as 25 minutes, 3 times per week - a fraction of the time (and money) you'd spend on a traditional fitness program.
