Well, here I am again to encourage you to lose those unwanted pounds you have been carrying around for so long. Everyday some new study comes out to tell us what the best way to do that is. Healthy eating, exercising, dieting, eating less, all of the above. A little bit of each.

We are told, according to some studies, that we should question ourselves as to the reasons we want to lose the weight. If your plan is to eat healthier, read up on nutrition. Everywhere you turn, there are articles on nutrition, Hospitals have classes to teach us about nutrition, we can start there, they have nutritionists to guide us.

Are you serious about losing the weight? Is the reason or reasons you are failing, beyond your control? Did you quit your walks because you were not seeing any results on the scale? Don't give up, but although weighing in every day is not for everyone, it is easier to keep track of your caloric consumption if you do.

Don't weight at different times of the day, if you are going to weigh do so at the same time each day. Focus on why you need or want to lose the weight. Sometimes, the reason maybe that you want to fit into that pretty outfit you have or want; other times, it is because of your health.

You may be borderline diabetic, or you may be hyper-tense and would like to quit the meds you are taking, your cholesterol may be high. Ladies the reasons have to mean serious business for you; but don't go about it so drastically that you defeat yourself before you start. In our society, our portions keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger. What used to be an eight ounce cup, turned into a ten ounce and that turned into twelve, from there it went to fourteen, then sixteen and the latest, a thirty-six ounce cup.Needles to say, our stomachs grow in proportion to our portions but so do our hips and waistlines as well our kids, if we have any, our husbands and or our significant others. We turn into couch-potatoes.

The problem is, bigger is not always better. Possible solutions? Walk, if you can't do so every day, try three times a week, make it a family deal, invite your husband, your children a friend, walking alone can be boring, walk your dog or invite it to walk you, that's always fun!. And don't forget the sex part!

Cut down on your portions by one-third. Eat smaller portions, use a smaller dish, don't take seconds. Eat fruit, nuts, and grains. Cut down on your carbs, notice I did not say eliminate your carbs. Cut down on all refined sugars, and starch. While you experiment, try cooking half whole grain pasta and half refined. Store healthy tasty snacks.

Put together reduced fat cheese with whole grain crackers; keep low sugar yogurt with fresh fruits, air popcorn. Remember, a serving size of whole grains equals 1 ounce. It is a good idea to buy a food scale to keep better track of your portions. And good luck!
