Find the right weight and measurements for you

I often hear people saying they need to lose weight and I look at them and wonder where that fat would come from! This is a great page to help you realise a normal size for you.
Age, height, weight chart
I know firsthand that it is hard to find detailed information for determining how in shape you are; that's why I wanted to put together age height weight chart resources. I always have to watch myself, because I have a huge sweet tooth. But when I think I'm over doing it, I cut back and try to keep myself in the healthy range. It's much harder to lose weight than to maintain a good weight. That's why is is important to be vigilant.

Reasons for weight gain


The reasons are endless and different for everyone. My reasons were an illness and now I have gained weight it is the hardest thing i have had to do to try and get rid of it.

I realised that whatever the reasons are, they need to be faced head on and tackled. If they are left to fester in the background, the weight you lose will always find you again.

However I know the draw of tasty foods, bigger portions and those delicious cakes; one sliver and it's pounds that are soon piling on. I also know that people, like me, who have weight to lose do not sit around all day doing nothing but eating. However something is not right with the way we eat/exercise, especially in my life, as it is so difficult to lose the weight.

Guilt is a powerful adversary

You can overcome it!


Do you remember being told as a child that there were starving children in Africa as a guilty ploy to make you finish your dinner? This can stay with a person and the guilt can still make you finish a meal even if you are full!

How about when you've eaten half a pack of biscuits, you look down and think "I might as well finish them, I've spoiled my diet now". This of course means you are doubling your calories and make you feel bad. If you decide you are going to eat a whole oack of biscuits because you want to, then at least that banishes the guilt.

Try and build a good relationship with food, make nice treats for yourself, have a friend around to eat and make it a social event. This way eating will be seen as a pleasurable experience not a guilty pleasure.

Be honest


The trap I have fallen into is eating something on the go and I 'forget' about it. Eating the cake mixture, having a few sweets from someone else and just generally munching my way through hidden calories all day. I always think I have eaten less than I have, my estimate of my calories is usually a lot lower than the actual amount.

So my advice is to be honest; whatever eating plan you are following, don't lie to yourself.

Keep a diary of the food you are having, it may give you some ways to replace certain items. Decide what you don't want to do without, life can get miserable otherwise, and what you are happy to comprimise on. Again set goals and have fun with it.

Exercise can be good for you!


I like exercising if it is fun as I'm sure do most people; if I find it a chore then I don't want to do it.

Find something you enjoy and make it fit in with your life. It can be so simple, a ten minute walk to the shops, housework (it's amazing what calories this burns), anything that you can do easily.

If you like the gym then thumbs up, if you dont DO NOT JOIN! Being a member will not make you fit and if you don't like it, you'll have no motivation to go.

Make a list of things you like, involve friends, families and pets, the more the merrier. Keep it small at first and build it up, a five minute walk is better than none!

Make it all about you and be happy.
It is good to have a goal in mind as it gives you something to work towards. However, if you have a lot of weight to lose or you're training for a marathan, start with small goals.

First goal could be to run for a minute, lose an inch from your body, lose 7lbs; anything to inspire that great feeling you get from achieving it!

I hope that you are doing well! Just wanted to tell you about this cool new video that I just watched from my new friend and respected colleague, Dr Charles. In it, he reveals a very unusual tip for a flatter belly in just 3 to 10 days. I watched it, thought it was brilliant, and figured you might find it very helpful too.
I hope that this was short and sweet enough for ya. Have an amazing day!!
. Arrange about 2/3rds of the bread fingers, buttered side in, over the top and sides of the tin, leaving no gaps. Tip the fruit into the centre, packing it down firmly. Cover with the remaining bread, buttered side down. Press down lightly and brush with the remaining butter.

6. Bake for 30-35 mins or until golden brown. Cool slightly in the tin, then turn out and sprinkle with demerara sugar. Serve warm with greek style yoghurt, creme fresh or ice cream if you like.
