How to Lose 100 lbs, Simple steps that Will Make or Break Your Success.

By Ryan M Hall

So you want to lose 100 lbs or more, but you don't know where to start. Well, you've come to the right place. Losing 100 lbs may seem like a huge and overpowering goal, but it doesn't have to be once you are committed and have a good serious plan. Just remember that every choice you make each day will add up to give you huge results in the long run. You can lose 100 lbs if you follow a plan and do the work. It's obviously not going to happen overnight, but it will happen if you stay committed. Here are a few guidelines to follow as you lose your weight.

If you intend to lose 100 lbs or more, you need to set a specific goal, and despite what it may sound like "lose 100 lbs" is not a goal. The best way to make a goal is to state it in the positive. Instead of saying how much you want to lose, say how much you would weigh after you lose your 100 lbs. For example, if you weigh 300 lbs right now, then you will weigh 200 after you have reached your goal. This gives your mind a real picture to focus on, rather than an action, lose 100 lbs.

Can you picture what 100 lbs of fat looks like? Can you actually picture losing 100 lbs? or does your mind try to figure out what you will look like AFTER you lose 100 lbs? It's probably the latter. This is how your mind tries to relate "lose 100 lbs," it tries to apply it to you, so why not make it easy on your mind. Focus on how you will feel when your body is thinner, lighter and healthier. This gives your mind an actual target, with feelings and pictures, to focus on. Make achieving this goal, this thinner happier you, and you are much more likely to make it happen.

If you are going to take on losing any amount of weight, you need a system that is guaranteed, but if you are taking on a large amount of weight and you want to lose it quickly, you need a system that will help you lose weight without plateaus.

Be sure that the system you choose includes both a diet plan and an exercise plan so that you will be doing everything in your power to slim down quickly. I'm sure you want to reach your goals sooner rather than later, right? Stay committed to your plan and you will. Too many people don't stay committed to their plans, they start then quit and fail. Don't end up like them. Be sure when you start your plan that you will be able to follow it through to the end.

Note: Diet plans that cut out important nutrient groups may get you instant results, but will lead to plateaus and eventually weight gain later.

Yes it?s true that cutting carbs completely will help you lose weight, but at what cost? Usually when you cut carbs, your body goes into Dietary Ketosis. This is a condition where your body starts to shed water from your body then begins to convert fat and muscle tissue to continue working properly. Why is this bad? It?s bad because while you are cutting fat, you will also be losing some muscle tissue. Find a diet system that is well balanced and healthy. After all, there are plenty of great programs to choose from out there, and it?s really a matter of finding one you believe you could stick with throughout your weight loss journey. The most important thing is that you achieve your goal and feel better about being you.

Once you have your goal in your mind, stay focused. It is very easy to overeat when you're out with friends or at business lunches, but if you intend to make your goal as quickly as possible, you need to say "no." This may sound easy right now, but when the time comes, and when it involves food, it's often much harder than it seems.

We all love junk food, and we all eat junk food for one reason, it tastes good. That's why McDonald's does so well. Everybody knows that it's not good for them, but we all go through the drive through every once in a while. The problem starts when we go to fast food too often. If you do, it will guarantee you failure.

If you are going to succeed, you need to get rid of your vice food. This means any food that is your vice. Maybe it's ice cream, chocolate or potato chips. Whatever it is, you have to get it out of your house so that it won't tempt you when you're feeling weak. This is one of the biggest reasons diets fail, junk food is tempting and easy to get to. Don't allow yourself to fall into this trap. Get rid of your vice food until you've reached your goal.

When you intend to lose weight, you need to let your friends and family know. Tell them you plan to lose weight and that you are very serious about it. Ask for their help to stay on track. If your friends struggle with weight loss, let them know how committed you are. Often our closest friends won't be as committed to their health as we are, and will accidentally tempt us to sweet snacks or a nice meal with friends. Ask for their help to stay on track and let them know how committed you are.

When you do this, some of your friends may surprise you and jump on board with you. Others may just sit back and not interfere. These friends and family will be the ones that make or break your success.

If your friends and family are resistant to you changing, get a coach or mentor, or, if you have to, healthier friends that will help you succeed. If worse comes to worst, you can move forward alone. After all, you are the only one that can make this happen and you are the only one who will finish it.

Even though you have to stay on track, it's important to indulge occasionally. Get a plan that keeps you burning fat constantly so you can't get discouraged, then you are able to occasionally fulfill some of your cravings. If you don't, you will fall off the wagon eventually, and when you do, it will be harder to get back to it. That's just not worth it, this is your health we're talking about, but it's also your life, and life is for living. Get a diet plan that allows you to eat some of your favorite foods. Despite what most diet plans think, you aren't a robot.

Eating cake or having fast food occasionally is just fine, but doing it at the wrong times can send you moving back up the scale, rather than down. Your diet plan must have flexibility built into it. There are plans available that let you eat your favorite foods while still losing weight.

If you want to lose 100 lbs safely and easily, follow these tips and above all, stay committed, even if you back slide, you can do it. It?s up to you to take action once you have a plan, and when you do, you will be amazed by the results. Imagine the feeling of being 100 lbs lighter. Imagine feeling light and full of energy. If you can imagine it, you can do it! It?s all up to you! - 17274
