I have been seriously working on losing weight for about 2 1/2 months and many people have asked me what I am doing to be so successful. I reply, “The 3 W’s for weight loss!” Of course they don’t know what the 3 W’s of weight loss are, so I quickly tell them, “Walking, water and Weight Watchers.” I know this is not a formula that will work for everyone but it sure is working for me! Water is an essential fluid for everyone, walking is an excellent form of exercise, and Weight Watchers is a world-renowned weight loss organization that has helped millions of people lose weight and keep it off forever.
walk:
Walking is a great calorie burning exercise that most of us have been doing for most of our lives. Aside from a good pair of running shoes and comfortable clothing, it doesn’t require any other equipment, so the price is right! But the most impressive thing about running is the health benefits it provides. Walking is easy on the joints and actually reduces back pain in some people. It has the ability to lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease, build muscle and strengthen bones, and of course it helps with weight loss! Try to walk at least 10,000 steps every day!
I’ve lost 24 1/2 pounds so far, but in addition to the weight loss, daily walking relaxes me mentally and I feel it lowers my stress levels. Funny thing is, the more I walk, the more my body and mind yearn for it. walking has become a very healthy habit for me
Water:
A recent study indicated that after drinking 17oz. of water, both men and women experienced a 30% increase in their metabolic rates that lasted for about 40 minutes.
A few months ago, I quit drinking soda and replaced it with water. I can already feel the difference in my skin tone and it is definitely helping my weight loss efforts as it fills me up and I am less apt to overeat. Drinking water everyday has definitely become a habit now and it makes me feel so much better! 8. Drink 8 oz. glass of water every day to boost your weight loss efforts!
weight Watchers:
Weight Watchers was founded in the early 1960s by Gene Nidech. He began by hosting small informal gatherings in his home to discuss the topic of weight loss. Those small meetings grew over the years, and now Weight Watchers has grown into a worldwide community of millions of people dedicated to the cause of weight loss.
Weight Watchers is a scientifically based program that promotes weight loss through healthy lifestyle changes to include mental, emotional and physical health. Weight Watchers meetings are designed to provide weight loss motivation, information about nutrition and exercise, and a comfortable environment where members and leaders provide each other with support and encouragement. There are hundreds of meeting locations around the world and Weight Watchers is now offered online as well.
My Weight Watchers leader is awesome and I look forward to going to my meetings every week. She is not only an amazing role model, having lost 45 pounds herself, but also has a natural ability to bring out the best in all of us who faithfully attend her meetings. She arms herself with scientifically based research, her own weight loss story, motivational quotes, exercise advice and recipes; She wraps it all up in a sense of humor to provide us with the tools we need for the week ahead.
If you’ve been discouraged by previous weight loss attempts, try the 3 W’s of weight loss. This is the healthy way to lose weight and I am sure you will be pleased with the results!
