Don’t “Fall” into a Weight Loss Trap

Tips for Staying Fit When the Temperature Drops

When the weather is beautiful and warm it is sometimes easier to include physical activity into our daily lives. Going for hikes, playing games on the beach, even taking a walk around the neighborhood are all activities that fit seamlessly into our lives in the summer.

Once fall officially brings in the chill, many of us get into the trap of “hibernating for the winter” and staying indoors more than we used to. Cold weather can also cause us to eat more than we usually do, and many of the cold weather comfort foods we crave are higher in calories and fat.

What can you do to avoid getting out of shape in colder weather?

1. Learn what to eat as a member of WeightLossVillage.   Members can choose from a wide variety of online meal plans designed by Registered Dieticians.  You then get personalized weekly menus (with grocery lists) based on your calorie, dietary and lifestyle needs.  Our cutting edge tools will help track what you eat which will help you stay on track with your weight loss and health goals.

2. Check out your local gym. You’ll keep up with your workouts, and maybe even make some new friends in the process. Some gyms even offer seasonal or short-term memberships, in case you’re still planning on getting an outdoor workout when it warms back up.

3. Consider using workout videos (traditional DVDs or even YouTube videos!) that will give you that fun class atmosphere in the comfort of your own home! There is a huge variety in options as far as videos go, so think about trying something completely new (like a hip-hop workout or belly dancing) to mix things up!

4. It is easy to stick to your weight loss program no matter where you go with WeightLoss2Go™ Mobile App. The holidays can mean lots of traveling, which can interfere with your typical routine. Our app allows you to take track your eating and workouts anywhere you go!

Make a decision today to be in control of your health and fitness, even as the seasons change, with the tips above as this gives you a  leg up on the “winter weight” that many struggle with every year.

Having a Weight Loss Buddy Helps You Lose More Weight

Do you find it difficult to motivate yourself to stick to a weight loss program plan or make the time to fit in some exercise? Studies show that if you set health goals with friends, or a ssignificant other, you’re much more likely to reach them.

Why does having a weight loss buddy increase your odds of achieving your weight loss goals? A number of factors are at play here:

1. Friends and loved ones help to hold you accountable. Instead of working towards a goal that only you are aware of, including others in your mission gives you extra incentive not to let them down.
2. Spark a competitive spirit to keep up as your friends shed pounds—a little competition never hurt anyone, especially when the goal is better health!
3. Each member of your weight loss team brings their own experiences and knowledge to the table. You’ll be able to give each other valuable advice based on your past experiences, making sure you help each other avoid mistakes along the way.
4. When the people around you are working towards their own health goals, you’ll all be focused on eating well. This can make preparing meals much easier, and you won’t be tempted by unhealthy foods if those around you aren’t eating them either!
5. Having a supportive atmosphere can make working out and losing weight—gasp!—more fun. Sharing your experiences and laughing through the ups and downs of your journey with people you care about is a lot more fun than going through those emotions alone. Rather than looking at your health goals as an unpleasant burden, you’ll start to associate them with positive, upbeat parts of your life.

An Active Child is a Healthy Child: Weight Loss and Your Kids

It is a well know fact that childhood obesity has become an increasingly serious problem for kids in the United States. Keeping our children healthy, and setting them up to live a full and active life is incredibly important.

Traditional “dieting” is not usually the most beneficial route for children, because it can lead to an unhealthy self-image. The best way to change a child’s weight is to monitor their meals, and to give them tasty but healthy options so that their cravings swing more towards fruits & veggies than fried & fatty. We recommend the WeightLossVillage Online Meal Plans for Kids ages 9 through teens as a great tool to help you restructure your child’s eating patterns. Since the kids are more computer savvy that their parents our online meal plans allow kids to get involved and take control of their eating habits, and to find healthy foods that they love just as much (if not more) than “junk foods.”

Additionally, encouraging and exhibiting a more active lifestyle will pay dividends down the road. Children who become interested in sports are much more likely to maintain a healthy weight throughout their life. Even if your child isn’t interested in becoming a star on the soccer field, make sure that they are spending at least as much time outside participating in active play as they do inside watching TV, playing on the computer or x-box. Even better? Set up a 2:1 ratio of physical activity versus video games and cartoons.

As a parent, your role is to lead by example as well as adding encouragement .  If your child’s eating habits need to change, working to make sure the entire family is eating healthy will make that transition easier for everyone. Where outdoor activity is concerned, come up with fun and physical games that the whole family can play. Not only will your entire family benefit from the exercise, but you’ll have a good time together!

Creating good habits at a young age will help your children grow into adults who have a better handle on their health.

9 out of 10 dieters do not succeed

Too often weight loss efforts fail because ‘dieters’ have a limited understanding of how to eat and regulate their appetite and metabolism. To the contrary of popular thinking, eating less due to fasting, missing meals, semi starvation or rigorous dieting will actually slow down the metabolic rate (rate of which the body burns calories).  This may explain why dieting alone is not successful.  Losing weight can be achieved in 4 Simple Steps: 1. what you eat, 2. how you move 3. what you think and 4. developing healthy habits.   Learn how WeightLossVillage can help you achieve your weight loss goals.
