Oh yeah, we all do it at one time or another. We decide it's time to lose weight and we start searching for the best diet plan around. Or we join a gym and swear that this is the time that we make it work. This is about the point where we ALL go, "OK, but where do I start? What is best for me? What should I REALLY do?"
Trust me we've all asked the same questions and, for the majority of us, we have come to the same conclusion. How should I know???? This is where we give up, go back to our old routine, and dread the coming of summer.
The best way to get started is to see where you are now. Do you want to lose five pounds? Lose ten pounds? Or lose fifty pounds? You have to make this decision and it is something that you have to decide right away. Statistics claim that 65% of people are overweight. Do you fall in that category? There are lots of websites out there that can give you an idea of your BMI, or Body Mass Index. Your BMI can give you a good starting point to how much weight you may need to lose. But remember, this is not the end all and be all of your starting point for weight loss. You may only want to lose five or ten pounds for your wedding or to fit into that special swimsuit you bought for the cruise.
No matter what, you need a plan. Look at this as a battle and make sure you have your battle plan before the first shots are fired.
