Spring is here and summer is just around the corner. That means swim suit season and more than a few people are saying "yikes!" Don't panic. It's not too late to drop a few pounds. The important thing to remember is to be realistic about your weight and how much you can lose between now and summer healthily.
A safe weight loss of 1-3 lbs per week is possible. If your losing more weight than this, your losing either water weight or lean muscle mass. Be sure to make good choices and get rid of the nagging notion that you need to lose weight quick. Quick fix thinking will sabatoge your results. Choosing a program which you can incorporate into your life on a daily basis is far better than going on a crash diet or going overkill on an exercise program. Both will help you lose weight but the first one will help you to keep it off and create habits which will be able to live with. The latter will set you up for failure and the likely possibility of regaining weight when the quick fix has worn its welcome in your life.
It's all about making wise choices. So be realistic. Set a target date, count the weeks, set a realistic loss per week (1-3 pounds) and multiply that by # of weeks to target date for your realistic goal weight loss. Then make wise choices on a daily basis to meet and support your goal for weight loss.
Even if you target goal is not met by your target date, it's not the end of the world. It took time to gain the weight and it will take time to take it off. If you're losing it by making good choices and following your nutrition and fitness goals, in time you will reach your goals and be able to keep it off because your life is set up to make it so.
