Simple Steps - Awesome Weight Loss

They can conquer who believe they can.....

Is losing weight a goal of yours? Now that the Holidays are but a pleasant memory - you can more easily focus your efforts on shedding those extra pounds. With Valentines day just weeks away - why not make a pact with yourself to develop one new healthy habit before the hearts and chocolates start flying.

Try any of the following ideas to help you start getting in your best shape ever - and shedding those extra pounds -


Start every day with a healthy, protein packed breakfast. Eggs and oatmeal or whole wheat toast will help you burn more calories throughout the day. Or try some protein packed greek yogurt with a half cup of blueberries.


Now that you have some protein to fuel your fat-burners - get out and exercise.

Do you get enough exercise? Really vigorous, heart pumping exercise?

Just a little daily exercise offers the following benefits:

Helps you enjoy way more energy.
Keeps your body firm and flexible.
Keep your bones and muscles strong.
Keep your heart and lungs healthy.
Can vastly improve your sex life!
Controls high blood sugar, especially if you lose weight.
Exercise even reduces stress.
Help you feel better about yourself and enjoy greater self esteem!
Relieves boredom or depression.

The upside is clear - exercise more and you enjoy a better quality of life at any age! It's never too soon or too late to start a daily exercise program.

Eat more fruits and veggies. Rich in healthy vitamins and fiber - fruit and veggies are critical to any weight-loss plan.


Are you eating healthy foods or - like so many of us - settling for convenient fast foods? ( Or maybe one could say fat foods! )

Do you smoke? Just quit - take whatever steps you can to stop. A growing number of employers actually pay their people to quit! You get the biggest benefit though - a healthier heart and lungs.

Do you drink enough water? Cut out all soda and stick with water!


If you want to look - and feel - years younger, take a long look at your habits and see what you might change to improve.
