Go Long!!
One guaranteed way to fail is to look for a "short cut" weight loss method or diet. You know what I mean: the type of program that promises "a fast effortless way to reduce weight". In my experience, none of these diets or pills, or injections actually work (long term that is), and the medical evidence is quite clear: the maximum rate of sustainable fat loss is between 1 and 2 pounds per week, perhaps a little more if you are obese. Besides, if a brilliant scientist did manage to concoct a formula for rapid effortless weight reduction, overnight he would be more famous than Einstein. He certainly wouldn't be peddling his program in 30-second TV infomercials or mail-order advertisements. So, for the sake of your sanity as well as your financial health, don't waste time on weight loss methods that make extravagant claims. If you don't believe this, think of any of your overweight friends who favor the short-term "lose 20 pounds in two weeks' ' type of approach, and ask yourself why they are still overweight.

After never having an issue with my weight I looked in the mirror to find a little belly staring back at me. Where did she come from? I hadn’t changed my diet. Yes, I slacked off on the working out for a bit but geesh, not that much. So where did this uninvited guest to my midsection come from? More important, why is she still around?

When I started my own personal journey, I thought it would be short and sweet since I never had a weight problem. Then I realized for at least a year while the scale showed me a satisfying number I was in trouble. I first went down a rabbit hole of bad advice for weight loss tips only to find my weight was resistant or worse, had increased despite my best intentions.

Then I actually became a bit depressed over the whole situation. I couldn’t understand it. I begin to really dig into sound information. I had to look beyond my nurse practitioner background, especially since we weren’t taught much on nutrition in school. I read literature on the difficulties women face with weight loss after menopause (me) and the constant loss of muscle in the human body starting after 30.

I begin to put what I learned into practice. Slowly the weight began to move. Not just that, I was building muscle and feeling stronger, more energetic. I was excited and happy with where I was headed. Still am! I begin to use what I learned with family, friends, and my patients. To be honest it was a hit or miss. Then I decided I wanted to be able to give them more. Motivate them better. I became certified as a Health Coach and Personal Trainer to have the knowledge to help others better understand their body, help them to make sustainable food choices, assist them with behavior chang, and even design exercise programs to help them reach their goals. More important I know the struggle.

Now my family, friends and patient’s are seeing results. They aren’t afraid to eat carbs! They get it! Come with me along this journey, I’ll share what I have learned. I will teach you to look beyond the scale. This is about so much more than weight loss. You need to take action even before your outward body reveals where you actually are on the inside. I will motivate you to live in the body you truly want.

If you want to lose weight successfully, you must realize, first, that there are no miracle diets or products that will blast away the fat! You didn’t gain the weight overnight! You aren’t going to lose it overnight, either! You will have to put forth effort to lose the fat, one pound at a time! Even after you’ve shed those extra pounds, you will have to continue to work at controlling your weight, if you wish to keep the fat off!

Of all the advice I received, advice on how to prevent muscle loss was not among them.

Be patient with yourself as you focus on taking action to meet your goal. It’s better to reach your goals slower than anticipated rather than go so fast that you miss important lessons and insights from the process.

If I knew in my 20s and 30s that I would lose 3-5% of muscle each decade after 30 years of age, well I can assure you I would have done a few things differently.
