Wellness Watchers Systems

Posted in Uncategorized | February 12th, 2009

What can my mom do to motivate her to lose weight?

I live far away from her and her and I are trying to lose weight together. I go to college and I am going to attend a Wellness Body Image Group, but she does not know what to do to motivate her. Phone calls are not enough. She needs some kind of support system that is close. We don’t want to do weight watchers or any fad diet. We are going to do plain old eat right and exercising. But we each need something more.

Motivation is mis-understood. You dont get motivated first. You take action and then it motivates you. Follow a simular plan right away. Once you have started the action you will become more motivated.

Drink lots of water, do cardio workouts about 20-30 mins a day, eat small meals and snacks every 2-3 hrs, that a good multi vitamin-mineral supplement.

Reasons: Good hydration helps flush your bod, cardio work outs raise heart rate and burns calories, (want a boost? do your 10-15 cardio just before bed, it will keep burning calories a couple hours longer, your metabolism slows as you sleep this will give you more burn time per day, Food every 2-3 hours stop the bodys reaction to starve syndome which if you go to long without a meal your metabolism slows to store energy, if frequent snacks it keep metabolism higher, more burn time, Nutri supplements maxing vitamins and minerals will help your body. This way no great changes need to happen in your eatting habits just try to lower or stop the junk food. This will keep you burning calories the most of the day. Take every opportunity to excersize, take stairs, park further away in parking lots, avoid convience, look for the most active thing you can do. Good luck, you can do it…..

register with calorie counter, then you can find your ideal calories intake per day. Keep healthy snack with you so you can nibble and not defeat your goals.
