Question: A few questions about weight loss and motivation, please help, I really need to do this!!?
Ok, my plan is as follows!.!.!.
DIET - I intend to follow the slimming world diet on all green days as I'm a veggie!.
EXERCISE - 30 mins yoga each morning and 20 mins on an exercise bike with the arm workout bit (not sure what its called) so it's a full body workout - and I'm going to up it 2 mins every week!.
I currently weigh 230lbs (I'm looking to get to 185 which for my build and height is the higher end of normal, but it's my first goal!!) and I've always been told fatter people lose weight quicker - and it's unlikely to be water weight as I drink 2 - 2!.5 litres a day already!!
Can anyone help with some great motivation tips!? (I always end up giving up on myself!)
And can anyone estimate my weight loss!? (such as how much I can lose per week, whether it'll be quicker to start as I'm fat, how much I should aim to have lost by 31st December - end of the year sounds like a plan lol!)
Thanks for your help and info, even if you can only answer a query or 2 not all of them it's all really helpful :]
Thanks guys and gals

Answers:
Here are a few tips that have really helped me out:
- set small goals (I want to lose 2 pounds this week) and take note of when you accomplish them!. I think keeping a list of your accomplishments is a great motivator!.
- buy an article of clothing (or find one in your closet) that you want to wear!. Try it on every couple of weeks to note your progress!.
- keep in mind muscle weighs more than fat! measure your success by the way your pants fit!.
Some other general weight loss tips:
1) use smaller plates (you can fill your plate to avoid feeling deprived and still eat smaller portions)!. If thats not possible, fill half the plate with vegetables!.
2) stay hydrated to avoid confusing hunger with thirst, which can add up to a lot of extra calories you really don't need (I know you do this already, but I still feel its worth mentioning as its such a common error)!.
3) make the effort to find a workout you really enjoy!. You will be more likely to do it every day!. So if you find yoga and the exercise bike are not fun for you, try other things!.
4) If you have hit a plateau, change up your workouts (increase the length, intensity, or try something new altogether) or find little ways to cut calories (switch from whole to skim milk, etc)!. Don't let a plateau derail your weight loss efforts, just keep at it!
A healthy weight loss goal is 1-2 pounds a week!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
