The first step to weight loss is to set a goal

You need to have a goal in mind or you will wander aimlessly through the world of diet and exercise with no purpose and no direction.

You need a destination, otherwise known as a goal, or else you’ll just be spinning your wheels without getting anywhere. When I started down the road of weight loss, I set a goal for myself to lose 30 pounds and become the fittest that I could possibly be.

It’s important to set goals that are attainable, so if you only need to lose 5 pounds and become fit then set your goal for that. If you know you will never lose 100 pounds and are content with losing 20 then make that your goal.

I made it my mission to get rid of 30 pounds, but at the same time also set a secondary goal for myself, which was simply to become fit. I knew that 30 pounds was my target weight loss, but what I didn’t want was to reach my goal and then stop working out because I thought I had done enough.

My secondary goal was always there to keep me motivated and remind me that there was still more work to do even after I reached my first milestone.

Go to a doctor and discuss your plan and desire for weight loss

There are many different ways to weight loss for moms , and a majority of people who are overweight struggle finding the best way for them. Some people go on diets and lose the weight only to gain it all back along with more. Others exercise constantly but never see results or sometimes see temporary results. In the end, there is no one size fits all solution to weight loss, but there is a way that works for you.

1. Evaluate what you are eating

2. Drink water instead of sodas and juices

3. Eat high fiber foods like whole grains (brown rice/bread), fruits and vegetables

4. Cut down on your fat intake especially saturated fats found in processed meats like bacon and ground beef

5. Watch your sugar intake

6. Get support from your family and friends

Commit to changing your lifestyle

The new year is coming and that means it is time to start making some changes. If you want to lose weight or look better, you have to commit to changing your lifestyle. It’s not going to happen overnight, but with some dedication and perseverance, you can get the results you want.

To change your lifestyle, you need to take a few things into consideration. First of all, you need to figure out what your goals are and how much time you are willing to put in every day. Then make a plan of action and stick with it everyday until you reach your goals.

It’s important that you don’t set unrealistic goals for yourself because then it will be hard for you to stay motivated and keep working towards them. Set small goals that are attainable within a few weeks so that each time one gets accomplished, the next one becomes easier for you achieve as well.

You don't have to make drastic changes right away either; just making one small lifestyle change at a time can add up over time! For example, if eating healthier is what's most important then try replacing one meal per day with lean proteins like chicken breast or salmon instead of red meat (which has more calories). Also try adding more fruits.

Figure out your weight loss goals

We are going to help you figure out your weight loss for dads goals, so that you can see what you will be aiming for. Before we do that, lets go over some simple math to determine some key numbers.

BMI is the most common way of determining your fat percentage. The formula is as follows:

BMI = (weight in pounds / (height in inches x height in inches)) x 703

This formula gets you as close to a true measurement of your fat percentage as possible without getting underwater, and getting dunked by a large overweight trainer.

Now, having said that, I am going to say this...there is another way to determine your fat percentage; it's not quite as accurate but I think it might be more helpful for the majority of people who read this. It's called "The Two-Finger Test" and here's how it works.

Step 1: Put two fingers on your belly button and move them down until you find the top edge of your hip bone. 

Step 2: Move your fingers back up until you find the bottom of your rib cage (the bottom edge should be at about the same level as the top edge of your hip bone). 

Step 3: Ask a friend or family member to put their two fingers.
