How are you coming along with your Weight-Loss Action Challenge habits so far? Are you staying away from foods on your What NOT To Eat list? Have you upgraded your weekly exercise program to burn more calories? Have you added some lifestyle exercise to your everyday life? This week I’ll be focusing on something that […]
Recently I tried to give up some of my favorite foods for a week. Just one week. An apparently simple challenge. What do you think happened? Did I discover newfound joys of tofu treats? Did I revel in the thrill of a blood-chocolate level below the legal limit? No. I most certainly did not. Instead, I became […]
Now that you’re seriously on a healthier path, you’re going to have to make some sacrifices. For instance: No more eating out. Just kidding!
Do you want to lose weight, but feel like you self-sabotage? Maybe you do. Maybe your mind gets the better of you, despite your good intentions. Here are 4 ways your thinking may be sabotaging your weight-loss goal. 1. Your Motivation Is Fake If your reasons for losing weight don’t excite and inspire you, then it’s […]
Hi everyone. It’s Kylie Browne, 52 Weight Loss Missions Community Manager here. I recently connected with another of our inspiring community members, Cathi. Cathi is a top commenter on our 52 Weight Loss Missions members’ forum and has also participated in the 30-Day Organize-athon. Cathi’s Story Kylie: I love reading your check-ins for the 52 Weight Loss Missions program. How would you […]
I really don’t want to go to the gym today. It’s a very hot day here in Sydney. I feel stressed by all the tasks on my to-do list. There are no classes on that I like, so I’d have to do my own thing. Which I don’t feel like. I’m not in the mood. […]
If you’ve recently lost weight – whether through my 52 Weight Loss Missions program, Kindle e-book, or iPad app, or some other way – then you probably now have some too-large clothes in your closet. What a great problem to have! So then – what do you do with those ‘fat’ clothes? Keep them, just in case? […]
If you’re trying to lose weight, should you weigh yourself daily? Is the bathroom scale a helpful gauge of your progress? Or an instrument of mental torture? For many people trying to lose weight, it’s the latter. A disappointing number on the scale can undo your day, your diet, your determination to exercise and eat well. […]
There’s one question I get asked more than any other. I’d like to tell you it’s something deep and meaningful, like maybe What do you think happens after death? But the truth is, the number one question I get asked is How do you eat so much and stay thin? Ignoring the fact that people make some rather disparaging observations about […]
Hi everyone. It’s Kylie Browne, 52 Weight Loss Missions Community Manager here. I recently talked with Danielle about her inspiring weight-loss success. Here’s what she had to say… Danielle’s Story I had lost about 20 pounds a few times in the earlier years, but something in me happened when I reached 79 kg in November. It triggered something. I knew […]
For years I had a thin person inside me, struggling to get out. I constantly sedated her, which had its rewards. But eventually I let her emerge, a process I share in my 52 Weight Loss Missions program. Letting her out meant finding ways to stop overeating. Do you have a thin person inside you, […]
Recently* I started doing some new things at the gym. I raised my bicep and shoulder weights in my weights class, and I began doing cycling and combat-style classes to replace my treadmill walks. The lessons I’ve learned from these changes have surprised me. And I’ve realized that they apply outside the gym, too. Here […]
This week I’m continuing the Health and Weight-Loss Action Challenge with something extra-challenging. This week I’m stepping outside my comfort zone. So far out, I think I’ll need shots. Take a breath, and come with me… How I’ll Step Outside My Comfort Zone Starting today I’m doing something I’ve never done before. I’m a junk-food-aholic, but I’m […]
How did you go with last week’s Weight-Loss Action Challenge to burn more calories when you exercise? This week we’re going to focus on burning more calories again. But this time let’s look at ways to burn calories outside our workout regime. This week, let’s focus on burning more calories by moving more in everyday […]
How did you go with last week’s Weight-Loss Action Challenge and deciding what not to eat? If you’re stuck at a weight-loss plateau, this week’s challenge could really help. If you’re eating well and exercising regularly but can’t seem to lose any more weight, then you might benefit from shaking up your workouts. Which is […]
Welcome to Week 1 of our Weight-Loss Action Challenge. Each week we’ll focus on taking action on a diet, exercise or mindset challenge. Our goal is to improve our habits so we can become slimmer and healthier. This week we’ll create a What NOT To Eat list. My ‘What NOT To Eat’ List I’m easily […]
Starting next week, I’ll be running a weekly weight-loss action challenge here at 52 Weight Loss Missions. What Is The Weight-Loss Action Challenge? Each week I’ll focus on a particular diet, exercise or mindset challenge. Because I’m all about taking action, it will be something we need to do differently. I’ll share with you what […]
I keep trying to lose weight… but it keeps finding me! Does this happen to you? You can lose excess pounds, but you just can’t keep the weight off? Most of the time there’s a simple reason why this happens. It’s because you make short-term changes. Short-Term Changes = Short-Term Weight Loss Maybe you: Go […]
Losing weight requires a certain amount of focus on ourselves. We need to make time for exercise, put thought into our diet, nurture ourselves so that we aren’t constantly seeking comfort in food. But for some people, perhaps especially for mothers, this can feel selfish. It can seem wrong to prioritize our needs when we […]
And ‘life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon’, according to Doug Larsen. For those of us who love bacon, but also love fitting into cute jeans, we can still make vegetables our friends. After all, vegetables: Contain heaps of fiber – which helps to fill you […]
If a better bod and health gains aren’t enough to entice you to get your sweat on, then this might do it. It seems that regular exercisers get paid 9% more on average than their nah-let’s-not buddies, according to new research. Now if you’re thinking it’s not exercise per se, but greater discipline that makes […]
That Phyllis Diller! Yep, a good brisk sit is a wonderful thing. Especially after a busy day, or during a relaxing weekend, or with a lovely cup of coffee in the afternoon. But for those of us whose idea of cute is a good firm body, we need to balance sitting with lots of moving. […]
A recent study looked at the things Australians worry about – and number three for women was weight. Despite my facetious title for this post, that’s not a shock to anyone. We all know that most of us girls think about weight somewhere on the scale between a crapload and obsessively. What’s disturbing is that […]
