Almost every day I am asked, "how can I lose this weight," or "how do you keep the weight off?" My response is, "I had to change my lifestyle." Sounds easy, right? It's not.

Tips, tricks and benefits of being healthy and in shape in your fifties
I recently attended a get together of former classmates. We’ve been getting together prior to the holidays for the last few years. A former classmate of mine and I were talking and wondering, “who are these old people?” Quite honestly I think we were both looking round at the crowd noticing just how many of our former classmates looked so much older they are. Most all of us graduated between 1980 and 1983, so we are all in our early 50s. What’s really disturbing is the frightening number of classmates (class of 1981) who have died since our graduation, many due to health related issues. Why is this? We are almost three months in to 2014...so...how’s that New Year’s Resolution coming along?
For many of us who want to lose weight in the new year, this is the time we start falling off the wagon and lose interest in our goals we set back in December. It’s at this time most health clubs start seeing a decline in people coming to the gyms. This is why many clubs will run another sale in March. So why do we give up so quickly on something we wanted so badly at one point in time? Why can’t we see past these first few months as being just the beginning of the healthier lifestyle we were trying to get live? If not, what are you doing about it?
Are you accomplishing your goals? Are you keeping up with your kids? Are you carrying around an extra 40, 50 or even 100 pounds of extra weight? Once again what are you going to do about it? It's a new year; it's a new beginning to your life. Why not do something about it. Now the time to take control and start living a healthier lifestyle. Is it easy? Is it something that's going to come naturally? The answer to both is no! The only thing constant in life is change.
This year has been a year of being extremely busy, working through consistent changes as well as experiencing many firsts. Are you getting ready for the new year? Start planning now!
The New Year is approaching quickly and many of you are thinking about your New Year's resolution to start losing weight, get in shape and change your life.
