7 months to go

It's the second day of June...the beginning of the 6th month of the year...the year is almost half over.

But when it comes to losing weight, you can't really think like that. You may have made your New Year's Resolution to lose weight on January 1, but January 1 is the middle on winter and it is very hard for most people to lose weight during the winter months - unless they're lovers of winter sports, of course.

So let's make June 1st the start of your "New Year's resolution" - the year to last from June to June.

What to do now?

Whether you're just starting or have been working on your weight loss program for a while, let's evaluate or re-evaluate right now.

My program helps you lose weight gradually. 2 pounds a week is the most that anyone should lose...1 pound a week is the average. But after ten weeks - two and a half months, you'll have lost 10 pounds and have more than a 90% chance of keeping that weight off.

Losing weight so gradually can be disheartening...everyone wants to see immediate results, and that just doesn't happen. In any eveny, you're not really losing weight for appearance's sake - although your clothes will fit much better - you're losing weight for health reasons. When you're old and grey, you will be so happy not to have been carrying around an extra 50+ pounds on your knees and back.

If you don't have your health you don't have anything...and that is more than ever tre when you're in your elder years, retired and ready to enjoy life by traveling...mobility impairment is much more likely if you're overweight.
