WEIGHT LOSS - YOU CAN'T KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW!

The importance of measuring your weight

Why do we need to measure our weight?

To know how much you weigh today, and

If you don't measure how will ever know when you have arrived at your goal.

To make the point about how important it is to measure and keep track I will relate a personal anecdote here.

Back in 1991 I started on one hour/day exercise regimen and stuck to it for more than year. But I never measured my weight before, during or after that year. I was just too scared to stand on the weighing scale and be shocked by my weight. But I stuck to my exercise regime and did it every day.

Then one day I had to attend an interview. The admissions officer to my college had to take my weight as part of the admission procedure. He consulted his chart and said I was overweight. You know I was just 3 kgs overweight at that time. I did not know it and took that admissions officers word to my heart and thought all my year's effort was for nothing and gave it all up.

Thinking back now I feel so stupid about it!! People who met me months later said I looked so slim but it had been a long time since I had given up my regime and was unhappily back on my upward trend of weight gain.

Do you realise now how important it is to measure your weight. So, please keep a diary and record your present weight and your target weight then measure maybe twice a month and keep entering it in your diary. When you see the weight coming off you will feel good and keep going when the going gets tough!

But there will be some weeks when your weighing scale may not move at all, don't worry just keep going, even if you are not losing weight you will be more fit and healthy than at any other time in your life. Consult your doctor about what you should. Try out modifications, and add strength training to your regime but just don't give up. You have made too many sacrifices to give up now.

Just keep going!...
