71 Weight Loss Tips That Really Work
The tough part with exercise, of c
ourse, is getting out there and doing
it. Here's how the successful get going:
1. Prioritize. The beds might not ge
t made, but Amy Reed, 36, still make
time for exercise. That's how she's ke
pt off more than 80 pounds for 13
years. "I have to schedule it in and le
t go of other things -- like a perfectly
clean house," she says.
2. Find a passion. "I have a dance b
ackground and when I found jazzercise, I
said,' Thank God.' If somebody told me
I had to go out and run five days a
week, I'd still weigh 185 pounds," says A
nne Geren, 41, who lost 55 pounds
and has kept it off for 13 years.
3. Keep an exercise log. It ma
kes you more accountable. Norma from
Dallas, TX, who hangs hers on the re
frigerator, checks off six workouts a
week dutifully. "If I miss oneday, I make that my day off for the week."
4. Set a goal. Sign up for some fun ru
ns and try toimprove your times. "I
went from a 5-K to a 4-miler,then a 5-
miler, then a 10-K. As I was building
miles and speed, I was getti
ng fitter and losing more weight," says Therese
Revitt, 42, who lost 80 pounds a
nd recently ran a marathon.
5. Get pumped. "It wasn't until I put
on more muscle through resistance
training that I was able to keep the we
ight off -- almost effortlessly," says
Verona Mucci-Hurlburt, 37, who went
from a size 18 to an 8. The reason?
Muscle burns more calori
es around the clock.
