When it comes to weight loss, there is a good majority of us that struggle and try just about every kind of diet out there in hopes that we find that miracle pill that will instantly make us shed those unwanted pounds. Yet you know as well as I do that your extra weight did not happen overnight and losing it will not happen overnight either.

When it comes to weight loss, I was one of the biggest idiots out there. I was waiting for that miracle pill to make me lose weight, unfortunately nothing like that exists. Yet, I have found out that by doing some simple changes in my life, I am finally losing weight and enjoying it also. I was like millions of other people out there and have tried just about every diet method from diet pills, Slim fast, and yes even the cabbage soup diet. Only to be disappointed, frustrated and most of all HUNGRY!

We all are different and different diets will do different things for different people. The one and true way to finally start losing weight is to make simple changes in your life. I’m not meaning starve yourself or that you have to exercise for hours a day. Just changes that will make you see a difference and make you start to lose weight with in a day or two.

One change is to cut the amount of food that you are eating now. That’s a pretty simple one that will help you lose weight pretty quickly. I have made such changes and am finally losing weight all while having fun and still eating the foods that I enjoy. Yep, you read that right; I still eat all of the foods that I enjoy. I refuse to use the word "diet", only because I do not feel like I am on a diet. I am on my way to a healthier, thinner, better me!

Eating less often is another big one. If you feel hungry, try drinking a glass of water first. This will usually help and you’ll realize that you weren’t hungry after all. But if you do need a snack in between meals, choose fruits or vegetables and leave those chips alone.

Another simple change is to get up off of that couch and move. Any kind of movement is better than just sitting there. Find a partner and go for a walk. Love to dance, take up a class, the possibilities are endless when it comes to moving for enjoyment and helping you lose weight at the same time.

If you find something that you enjoy doing, you will never feel as though you are exercising at all. Got a game system? Many of them now have games and different things one them that will get your heart rate going and you’ll have a blast at the same time.

Losing weight does not have to be scary. It can easily be done by changing simple things in your life. Doing more, will help you lose more. Think of it like this, the more you move, the more you lose.

Today starts the rest of your life to becoming a healthier, thinner, better person. Trust me, if I can finally lose weight, you can too!!
