October 27, 2006, Newsletter Issue #125: Plan your weight loss

Tip of the Week

Are you still struggling with those ten extra pounds?

Trying to lose those ten pounds may be easier if you have a plan. The key to dealing with your weight is having a positive attitude and good motivation. If you want to lose just for the summer, you may achieve that goal, but may gain it back once summer is over.

Set your weight loss goals to achieve better health, to feel better or to increase your energy. Two key components of any good weight loss plan are activity and good food choices.

For activity, shoot for thirty minutes four to five days each week and choose aerobic exercise--biking, dancing, hiking or walking are good options. You can also pick up exercise in your everyday routine--take the stairs instead of the elevator, park farther away from work or take the dog for a walk.

And when it comes to food choices, pull out the food pyramid and plan your meals with it in mind. The Food Guide Pyramid provides variety, the nutrition your body needs, and a plan you can follow--even when those extra ten pounds are gone.
