Weight Loss Plan: The Goal to Go For
By Akanett Web Publishing
Since excess weight puts you at risk for many health problems, you may need to set some plans to help avoid those risks and prevent disease.

But what should be your long-term goal? And what short-term goals should you set to help you get there? You have a better chance of attaining your goals if you make sure that the plans that you will use are sensible and reasonable right at the beginning.

Here are some guidelines from the experts in choosing plans and goals.

1. Be realistic

Most people�s long-term plans are more ambitious than they have to be.

For example, if you weigh 170 pounds and your long-term plan is to weigh 120, even if you have not weighed 120 since you were 16 and now you are 45, that is not a realistic goal.

Your body mass index or BMI is a good indicator of whether or not you need to shed of pounds. The ideal BMI range, according to the national Institutes of Health, is between 19 and 24.9. If your BMI is between 25 and 29.9, you are considered overweight. Any number above 30 is in the obesity range.

From this point of view, you will need a sensible plan that will correspond to the required BMI based on your height, because this is the primary factor that will affect your BMI.

2. Set appropriate objectives

Using a plan just for vanity�s sake is psychologically less helpful than losing weight to improve health.

You have made a big step forward if you decide to undergo a plan that includes exercise and eating right so that you will feel better and have more energy to do something positive in your life.

3. Focus on doing, not losing

Rather than saying that you are going to lose a pound this week, say how much you are going to exercise this week. This would definitely make up of a sensible plan.

Keep in mind that your weight within a span of a week is not completely in your control, but your behavior is.

4. Build bit by bit

Short-term plans should not be �pie-in-the-sky.� This means that when you have never exercised at all, your best plan for this week should be based on finding three different one-mile routes that you can walk next week.

5. Keep up the self-encouragement

An all-or-nothing attitude only sets you up to fail. Learn to evaluate your efforts fairly and objectively. If you fall short of some goals, just look ahead to next week. You do not need to have a perfect record.

After all, self-encouragement should definitely be a part of your plans. Otherwise, you will just fail in the end.

6. Use measurable measures

Saying that you are going to be more positive this week or that you are going to really get serious this week is not a goal that you can measure and should not be a part of your plan.

This is another reason why you should incorporate exercise on your plan and focus on it. You should be able to count up the minutes of exercise in order to be successful in your plan.

The bottom line is, people should make plans that will only remain as it is, just a plan. They have to put it into action by incorporating goals that will motivate them to succeed.

Hot Fitness Tip of the Week
Skipping breakfast or lunch won't help you lose weight. Instead, your metabolic rate will drop by 4% to 5% when it needs to be the most active. A good rule of thumb is to eat at least half your daily calories by the end of lunchtime.

Challenge Yourself: Even the most successful people in the world are never completely satisfied with themselves. This is a natural feeling to all human beings and often times drives people to reach their full potential. Unfortunately, the problem comes when self dissatisfaction turns into self doubt. Often, we feel frustrated or discouraged about the past, and we project those feelings of doubt and disappointment into the future. However the future has not happened yet. So it really makes very little sense to be negative about it. The future is full of outstanding opportunities. You are in control of your own future, which is not determined by your past. It is determined by you, and by the actions you take on a day to day basis. Use your frustration and past failures not as an excuse to doubt yourself, but as an opportunity to learn and improve your future. Avoid negative thinking, look past the doubt, and you'll discover bright future. Try to identify your obstacles, and refuse to let them get in your way. Challenge yourself to turn the negative into a positive. In every difficult situation, there is opportunity. In order to see that opportunity and take advantage of it, you must stay positive, and continue to look for it.

Top 10 Answers to Cellulite: The old theory was that cellulite was caused by toxins building up under the skin but that's probably not true. It's more likely to be the result of poor skin structure, causing the fibre to split. This means fat and yes, possibly toxins squish out through the holes in the fibres creating that lumpy effect. In other words, your bottom is rather like and old mattress with the stuffing sticking out! Chances are the problem is genetic and lies with the x- chromosome (only women have this which would explain why men don't get cellulite). While all this may mean cellulite isn't your fault, reducing its appearance is within your control. Here is a list of top 10 ways to control and manage cellulite. 1. BODY BRUSHING : Some experts claim, this is the key to total cellulite removal, saying, it helps speed up the lymph system to remove toxins from the body. Of course, it depends on the whole cellulite/toxins theory, but as an active lymphatic system helps improve your skin anyway there's no harm in trying it. For the best results dampen your skin then use a firm - bristled brush to stroke each limb briskly in the direction of the heart. Do this twice daily, but be careful- applying perfumed products directly afterwards can irritate. Wait at least half an hour before using any products.

Water Is The Most Important Nutrient

Water makes up about 60-70% of your body weight. Water helps to control the temprature of the body and serves a vehicles for moving nutrients to the different parts of the body. Fluid imbalance can lead to several problems in the body including weight gain.

Water Tips

Drink plenty of water. You body needs a lot of water. Water is not just way to flush out toxin but if you have more water in your body you will generally feel healthier and fitter. This will discourage any tendency to gorge. The best thing about water is that is has no calories at all.

Start your day with a glass of water. Drink a glass of cool water first thing in the morning. It is a wonderful way to start your day and you only need a lesser quantity of your breakfast after that.

Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally needs some space so that you feel fuller without actually having to stuff yourself.

Have another glass of water while you are having the meal. Again this is another way of making yourself full so that you can actually rise from the table eating less but feeling full just the same. Instead of drinking it one gulp, take sips after each morsel. It will help the food to settle faster so that you get that feeling that you are full faster.
