Tips For Losing 50 Pounds in 3 Months
Losing 50 pounds in 3 months is not impossible. There are many commercials that tell you it is possible to lose weight fast by taking diet pills. Some advertisements claim that you can lose fat within a short period of time by enrolling in a certain weight loss program. Usually, you will regain back your weight after taking diet pills.

Before starting the weight loss program, you should purchase a scale to keep track of your weight from time to time. In this way, you will know whether you are making progress in the weight loss program. Every day, you should weigh yourself. It is important that the scale you buy is accurate. After weighing yourself, you should record down the weight on a diary.
Eating a healthy diet is essential in losing weight. A healthy diet should consist all kinds of nutrients such as meat, fish, bread, dairy products, fruit and vegetables. You should avoid eating junk foods, confectionaries, carbonated drinks and sugared drinks. If you frequently eat red meat, you should consider switching to white meat such as chicken or fish. Red meats such as beef and pork are high in cholesterol and fat. You should replace sugar with honey. Sugary and oily snacks should be replaced with healthier alternatives such as cherry tomatoes and carrots.
You should keep a diary to record the food you eat daily. You should record the food you eat daily in the diary for at least 1 month. After that, you should review it so that you can cut off all the unhealthy foods from your diet.
Besides, you must spend a few minutes to exercise every day. You don't have to do complicated exercises to burn fat. There are many simple exercises you can do to lose weight. Step aerobics is one of the common exercises that people do to lose weight. Step aerobics can burn off the fat in your legs and hips. You can perform step aerobic exercises for at least 1 hour per day. Cycling is another exercise you can do to lose weight. Cycling can burn an estimated of 500 - 1000 calories per hour. Just like cycling, swimming can also effectively burn off your body fat. Swimming can burn off about 800 calories per hour. Other exercises you can do to lose weight include jogging, walking, racquetball and etc.

You'll Achieve More in Life When You Live in Full Vitality
Make your health a priority and you will be more successful in all areas of your life. Neglect your health, and you won't have a life to be successful in!
When you are vitally healthy you have more energy, clearer thinking, and are better able to handle stress. On the contrary, when you neglect your health you may feel sluggish and chronically stressed. In studies in both children and adults, they have found that obesity can hinder you from getting a good night's sleep, which directly affects brain health and cognition. What that means is that being overweight or obese is actually negatively affecting your brain.
To be on top of your game, and get ahead in life, you've got to have every bit of brain power you can muster! So how do we ensure good health so that we can live in full vitality and achieve more in life?
#1 Maintain a healthy weight. Overweight brains may shrink by 4%, and obese brains by as much as 8%. Lose those pounds to keep your brain power!
#2 Drink pure water. Your body is 75% water and your organs and brain CRAVE it. Give your body what it requires to stay vitally healthy - every day, all day!
#3 Eat your veggies! Antioxidants, fiber, and minerals they pull from the soil that are meant for your body! There are so many benefits, yet they are underrepresented in the SAD diet (STANDARD AMERICAN DIET). Pure fruits and vegetables in abundance in the diet may be the single key to permanent weight loss! Pile them on your plate!
#4 Sleep well. For most people that means 8 hours every day, at the same time. If you are unrested, your cognitive abilities are as impaired as if you were drunk!
#5 Exercise. Your body was meant to MOVE. As we get older, this becomes increasingly more important because chronic disuse of this perfect machine leads to chronic pain. Find something you love to do - and do it - for LIFE. For Vitality. Because your life is worth living WELL.
You have a vital power within you that is just waiting to be utilized. When you walk through life with a strong body at a healthy weight, well rested and well nourished, you will have more energy and confidence to go after your goals and achieve them. When you are vitally healthy you will feel incredible about yourself, and that will carry over into your work and social life. Decide today - You are going to achieve more in all areas of your life with a new, Vital YOU!

The Love for Yourself
As you grow older in life you will understand more clearly that the only person who can truly help you get to where you want to be in life is yourself. This is not to say that people's help is of no benefit to you, because as we all know we learn from our family and friends time and time again. The love and comfort from our family and friends is precious to us all. But, the most important love is the love you have for yourself!
When you truly love yourself, there is no challenge that you can overcome. The love you have for yourself should be the purest love relationship in your life. The sooner one realizes this fact; the quicker one can become successful. When an individual truly loves themselves, they are able to acquire the character trait of 'self-confidence.' Self-confidence is a character trait that every great man and woman possess. Self-confidence is exactly what you think it is: it is the trust that you have for your own judgment, ability, and power. Successful people all become successful because they had trust in themselves that they can do whatever they put their mind too. Without self-confidence, we doubt our skills and abilities which keep us from moving up the ladder of success. Self-confidence is one of the greatest motivational advocates.
In order to love yourself you must first accept and understand the fact that "Life is not a privilege, Life is a blessing." The truth is: at some point, we all will have to leave this earth whether we like it or not. Death is the only thing that is for sure in this world, but no one really knows when there time will come. Turn on the news and see how many incident people did not wake up this morning because of some tragedy. At any moment, your life could be over. So the fact that you are alive reading this article right now is a blessing; be thankful.
After reading and understanding this quote, the next step is to realize that your life has a purpose. If your life did not have a purpose you would not be here today, it is that simple. There is a reason why you are alive on this earth today. You have a special talent and ability that you must share with the world. It is important to understand that everyone has their very own unique power within them; let your power shine. Be your own superhero and watch your life transform for the better. Loving yourself is essential.
Morning Motivation.
Coach Champ.

HYPNOSIS FOR WEIGHT LOSS
Hypnosis for weight loss has gained a lot of popularity these days. This is after the discovery that the brain plays a very big role in the loss of weight. It, in fact, plays a bigger role than most of the people imagine or think. People who have not been on a program for weight loss may not easily understand this.
It is often said that being overweight is the human fault. You might also have heard that to lose weight you must stop eating and begin exercising. Most of the people that are struggling with management of weight have engaged in very many activities to shed off that weight, but they have realized little or no positive results.
Although it is important to identify those factors that are causing weight gain and possibly unearth the reasons as to why the previous attempts of weight loss have failed, it only gets to that far and not beyond. There are some people who argue that acquiring the knowledge and information of the cause of weight loss and why attempts to lose it have failed is part of the battle [of loss of weight].
If indeed knowing this is half of the weight loss battle, then for sure it can be termed as the easiest half. All the people who want to lose weight already have some idea as to what is holding them back. What they do not know is how they can change that situation.
The talk therapy has these days become very popular in causing the individuals to change their minds and have better control of their body weight. There are various methods of talk therapy, but the hypnosis for weight loss has taken the center stage. Although it may sound like an old concept, hypnosis is one of the treatment techniques that are widely used by health practitioners and weight loss clinics because it has shown a high degree of effectiveness in most patients.
The hypnosis for weight loss is preferred and recommended because of its quick results, which are a long lasting then the computer-based therapy or psychoanalysis. Hypnosis is an approach that is unique because it focuses mostly on the positive aspects that led to improvement of the body and mind of the patient.
While most psychoanalysis methods aim at investigating the reasons that underlie the challenges to the loss of weight, hypnosis quickly by passes and then replaces those obstacles and thereby creates a rapid path of losing weight. Hypnosis can simply be defined as the ability of rewriting the behaviors and thoughts that go into your mind both unconsciously and consciously.
The hypnosis for weight loss uses reinforcement and repetition. The sessions generally comprise of 20 to 30 minutes of meditation that is guided and repeated every day. If it is administered for a continuous period of 30 days, the brain will adopt new thought pattern or habit.
The human brain absorbs everything that it hears or sees in most cases through multiple awareness levels. Once a person hears or sees something for the first time, it is stored in the brain's short memory. With repetition, the data that is stored in the short-term memory will act like permanent stamp on the mind leading to new habit or belief.

Around the start of every year, millions of people create their New Year's resolutions. Often, this is closer to a bucket list of all the things they'd like to solve in their life. But instead of carrying it round and crossing off each item in turn (like Jason Lee's character in My Name is Earl), you're probably not alone in writing out your list, maybe referring to it a couple of times in early January and then near enough completely forgetting about it until next year comes around and it's time to write your list again.
The quantity approach is most people's solution to writing out their New Year's resolutions.
It seems a good idea at the time. After all, if you've got a long list of things that you're really going to do this year (honest!) then you're bound to get them done.
But actually that doesn't happen in practice.
All those things you wrote out this year are probably near enough identical to the ones you wrote last year and the year before that. And, if truth be known, probably the same as the ones you wrote a decade or more ago.
The usual suspects for a New Year's resolution list are things like weight loss, stopping an awkward habit like smoking, getting a raise, going on a dream holiday, finding the man or woman of your dreams, the list goes on.
Which is the problem.
Long lists tend just to get more things added to them. With nothing removed from the original list. Which means they get more and more daunting and, in the end, we give up on them. In the case of resolutions, probably around the middle of January. Or, if you're the persistent type, by the start of February.
So I'd like you to try a different approach this year. Whether you're reading this at the start of the New Year or at some other point - maybe when you step on the scales before you're due to go on vacation and realise that you're heavier than you were a few months ago, maybe when you're sitting behind the same desk on the same pay as you were this time last year.
Scrap the bucket list of resolutions. Or file it somewhere out of sight if you prefer.
Instead, pick on just one resolution.
If you've not been too successful with this in the past, make it something that you can actually complete in a week or two. This relatively small item won't change the world but it will change the way your mind thinks about this.
You see, a New Year's resolution list isn't just for a few days at the start of a year.
It's actually a road map for where you want your life to go.
But, just like you can't be on tens or hundreds of different roads at once, you're going to be concentrating on one item at a time.
So, pick off a simple goal from your list.
Then actually complete it!
That could be a first for you - it's not unusual for absolutely no resolutions to be completed. So don't beat yourself up if that's true for you.
The impetus that completing an item gives you has to be experienced to be believed. Even if if's a small item at first. It gives your subconscious mind the idea that you're actually serious about achieving your goals. And it gives you the courage to pick off another, slightly bigger, goal next time.
When you do this, you'll get so much more done you'll be amazed.
You'll end up crossing off 6 or more items from your resolution list over the course of the year. Which is likely 6 or more than you'd have done if you tried the normal approach of running in umpteen different directions at once.
You owe it to yourself to prune your New Year's resolution list down to one item at a time and pick each one off, like a sniper.
A large part of the trick of getting your New Year's resolutions completed is to stay focused. You can get more ideas about getting and staying focused here.
And it's worth making sure that you stay on target by using a personal development plan so that you can get in the habit of working on your resolutions year round, not just for a handful of days at the start of January.

Jack Canfield, cocreator of the phenomenally successful "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series spells out in "The Success Principles" 64 actions and attitudes which will lead practitioners from where they are to anywhere they want to go. Napoleon Hill in his best-selling classic "Think and Grow Rich" offers thirteen steps to prosperity. Stephen R. Covey, author of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," determined employing seven essential principles (later expanded to eight) is the means to fulfillment. Deepak Chopra distills, in "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success," the few simple, powerful tenets to create well-being and material abundance. Rhonda Byrne ups the ante in her worldwide sensation, "The Secret," reducing the requirement for success to a three part formula. And while untold seekers continue to try to quantify what it takes to succeed "The Bible," the world's most popular personal development guide, delivers the ultimate single key.
Sorting through and coming to understand the myriad principles, laws and tenets of success, to say nothing of implementation, is a daunting, and for many an overwhelming task. For most people attempting to execute a complex, multi-staged "success philosophy" ends in frustration and disappointment. While we struggle to find the means to succeed, the reality is, every one of us is quite familiar with success. We are a success machines. We achieve something every day. Though you may object to this assertion, and point out your insignificant accomplishments in no way reflect the scale of achievement you aspire to, the truth is you already employ proven principles, laws and tenets of success.
You don't need a Ph.D. in principles to succeed in practice. As every lifetime consists of a stack of little achievements, don't overlook the obvious. The means to success - the cause, the how - comes down to a few, simple fundamentals. By focusing on the fundamentals you can come to understand how you succeed. Reinforcing success - leveraging successful methods - you can build grander, more enduring achievements.
So what are the fundamentals? What really matters when it comes to achieving desires and succeeding in life?
The human experience is the infinite combination of three basic functions: feeling, thinking, and moving. These three elements comprise and create the journey of life. One can argue about which component dominates but the reality is at various times each assumes a leading role. Life, for its part intends to grow, and we, as a measure of creation contribute to the great expansion. Resisting growth is both painful and futile. As a human being you manipulate energy. By feeling, thinking and moving you both explore and create with life. How you manipulate energy contributes to the reality you experience and defines the conditions you determine as success or failure.
While the motion of life is bigger than you as an individual, the means to both survive and thrive come down to how you feel, think, and act. The fundamentals of success are these three intimately intertwined elements: feeling, thinking and acting. How you feel depends on what you think and what you do. What you think depends on how you feel and where you are (a product of reality in motion - movement). And what you do depends on how you feel and what you think. If any of these three elements are not quite right adjust the other two. Get all three working well together and the possibilities are limitless.
Success is about feeling, thinking and doing right - working in concert with life. Every day is a new opportunity to channel and shape energy. Choose to manipulate it in positive ways. Control how you feel, what you think about and what you do. You have the ability and the opportunity to control vast amounts of energy. What you do with the energy that comes into your awareness determines your success. Taking control, little by little, of how you feel, think and act is the basis for success.
Don't worry about getting myriad principles down or adhering to countless laws of success. There is nothing more fundamental than this: feel, think and act your way to a full and fulfilling life. For you success is fundamental.
Scott F. Paradis, author of "Success 101 How Life Works - Know the Rules, Play to Win" and "Warriors, Diplomats, Heroes, Why America's Army Succeeds - Lessons for Business and Life" focuses on the fundamental principles of leadership and success; http://Success101Workshop.com
