By following your 4 easy steps to losing weight, I have experienced a lot of positive changes since I began shedding some pounds off, both physical appearance and self-esteem.

One thing I will point out though; a focus on weight almost never helps anyone in the long term. When people exercise they reduce fat, but often gain muscle, resulting in little change in body weight, despite marked health improvements. This often results in disappointment and eventually quitting the exercise altogether because they think it is not working. The other problem of focusing on weight is that to lose weight quickly, you almost always have to adopt behaviors (e.g. exercise or diets that are just too extreme) which you are unable to maintain over the longterm, making weight regain almost certain. But, if people make positive changes to their lifestyle (like incorporating physical activity into their day as you suggest) without focusing on body weight, they are likely to lose more weight over the long term, and be much more likely to keep that weight off.

Many battles we face start and end with our mind’s determination and motivation. We must have a goal and keep it uppermost in our thoughts to achieve it. I think it would be helpful to add two thoughts to your blog post. The first one is to stay away from the television. Ads for food create real cravings and detract from your goal. Television watching is a passive activity which contributes to a slower metabolism. The other thought I have is one of meal distribution. One very important thing that has helped me is to separate the day’s calories into 4 meals and I never eat past 7:00PM. Hope these tips help.
