I find it easier to focus and work harder when I have goals to chase after.  When I make a half-hearted commitment to something, it rarely pulls through.  When I determine a goal to reach, I work towards until I finally accomplish it.

Weight loss is the same way.  Without proper goals, one tends to lose weight the wrong way.  My goal is to lose fat and build lean muscle.  I’ve noticed a lot of people who try to lose weight just starve and miss out on necessary nutrients.  Sure it does make them skinnier, but they’re just as flabby as before and even more unhealthy.

It works differently for everyone, but the best way for me to lose weight is to eat and work out.  I don’t think I can survive even a day without eating, which causes some problems.  THe important thing to remember is to find a regimen that works for YOU.  Don’t tailor YOUR needs to other people.  This weight loss goal is for you and you only!
