Don’t Make Yourself The Exception
Posted on 16. Mar, 2010 by Skyler Meine in Weight Loss Tips
Everyone has the ability to lose weight. For a very small (and I mean very small) portion of the population, losing weight requires the help of a medical doctor but weight loss is still possible. For everyone else it comes down to doing the work to find the solution that will work for you. When I hear people say they can’t lose weight, it makes me want to rip my hair out and scream from the roof tops, “Stop Lying To Yourself.” The formula is simple: burn more calories than you eat and you will lose weight. Honestly, it is that simple.
I can hear you saying, “It isn’t that simple, Skyler. Every time I try to lose weight, I exercise and eat right and nothing happens.”
Well, guys, the answer is simple: you aren’t burning more calories than you are eating. One of two things is happening: you are eating more than you think or your metabolism is really slow. And both things can be remedied. By learning to eat the right things at the right time and practicing fat-burning, metabolism-enhancing exercise, you can and will start to lose weight.
I guarantee when I work with my clients that they are going to lose weight if they are willing to follow my program. I have never meet a client who didn’t lose weight if they followed through on their end. Sometimes it does take working with a weight loss expert to figure it out. Sometimes it is to difficult to figure out on your own, but I want to emphasize that it can be done. If you want to achieve your IdealShape, you can.
And as an incentive to come back we will be discussing what to eat and the fat-burning, metabolism-enhancing exercise that you should be doing.

Get Your Priorities Straight
Posted on 15. Mar, 2010 by Skyler Meine in Weight Loss Tips
Ever meet someone who wanted to get in shape, so they opened their front door and started running? Two days later, they were back on their couch eating Twinkies. The yellow foamy part first and then the creamy center. Maybe that person was you. You never really had a plan. You saw people running around your neighborhood and they all looked like they were in shape.
You wanted to lose weight, too. When you ran you got out of breath, so you thought running must be a great exercise to burn the maximum amount of calories. You thought if you could just run one cement slab further each day, you would be in the best shape of your life before long.
Did you know what you were going to eat to help get rid of those extra pounds, or what to eat to recover from that run you just went on? Did you know the more you run the less calories you are going to burn, and the less effective your exercise is going to be?
When you dove headfirst into a program like this, your intentions were great. But you didn’t succeed. Why not? What do you need to master this time in order to be successful?
You need to get your priorities straight.
