    I observed the e-book to be very informative and effortless to learn. I've misplaced 17 kilos in 12 days, I'm simply involved that I'm wasting an excessive amount of weight, too speedily. I will admit I have not adopted the advisor precisely. I'm no longer sticking flawlessly to the indexed meals and meal plans (however typically) and doing little or no undertaking, however the weight maintains flying off. It evidently works and if I'd adopted it precisely I suppose it might scare the residing daylights out of me in view that of the volume that I'd lose. So thank you once more for the understanding. I've on no account bought some thing like this earlier than in view that they're most commonly filled with trash, however 3WD has been a first-rate shock. Get began in these days!

    I have lost a total of 120 pounds so far.

    I lost 105 pounds in my first 6 months. Here is how I did it.

    1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.

    2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).

    3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.

    It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.

    Also start counting your calories. Write them down. You would be amazed as to how much more aware you are of your caloric intake, if you actually write it down. We recently discovered a site that offers a great program that counts calories, as well as keeps track of everything. It allows multiple users, so everyone in the family can keep track. They offer a free 7 day trial, and so far I am very impressed with the product. Try the 7 days and see. It allows you to add the exercise that you do during the day, which increases the amount of calories you can take in. Very Cool!!

    Stay motivated, and get up and walk every day. I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk.

    Good LUCK!

    1) Exercising with a friend is the easiest way to get motivated. Find a friend that is in better shape than you are and go with them. This way, you and your friend will get a good workout, and a good laugh too.

    2) Another thing I always do to work out is to watch fit people work out on TV or watch stars on television with bathing suits on. For some reason, it makes me hit the gym a little harder.

    3) Find a fun fitness class. I like cardio-dance classes because you have fun sweating like a pig at the same time. There are other things you can do that are fun as well as good for you.

    3) And if all else fails, just go--with an iPod. You may not feel like it for the first 10 mins, but if you get through the warm up, you will find yourself being able to workout until the end.

    I would suggest a cleansing diet. I lost 12 pounds in 9 days and then 28 pounds in less than a month. I also lost a lot of inches too! I learned that cleansing will help the body get rid of impurities. Impurities come from a lot of things like fast food, pollution, food additives and preservatives and lots of other things. The impurities get stored in the fat in our body. To get rid of the fat, we have to get rid of the impurities by cleansing the body. This made sense to me and I decided to try a cleanse program and it worked. The weight came off fast and this kept me motivated to keep going, not like other diets where the weight loss it too slow. I did Jenny Craig, Weight Watcher and Medifast. If you want to learn more call the toll free number 1-877-587-4647 or check out the website. This was the first time I ever did a cleanse, it was easy and I feel better. Good luck whatever you decide to do! http://diet4cleansing.com/

    Start with small changes. From now on when you leave your house, you have to walk quickly around the block before you do anything. Do you watch TV. Lift some weights while watching TV.

    See site below for more strategies on losing weight like adding kelp instead of adding salt. Salt has no calories but makes you fat. Buy healthier alternatives at health food store instead of the fat and sick food store.

    after a workout, you will feel so great! If you start now, have yourself fantasize what you will look like in even just one month! If you start eating right and exercising TODAY! Take a before and after picture every month. Starting now will be so worth it in the long run.
