I have a problem. No one makes clothes that are big enough for me to fit in to. I am not allowed to sit on certain chairs because they cannot support me. My grocery bill is completely out of control. All of these signs point to the fact that I am fat and it is time to do something about it. I’m just not sure how I can accomplish this daunting feat.

I was watching the Biggest Loser on television and saw people who were like me changing their lives. I went online and found out that the show had a website that included a link to the biggest loser forum where there were all sorts of helpful hints, tools and chat rooms that are dedicated to helping people lose weight. I felt better knowing that I was not alone in my desire to lose weight. It would be much easier to accomplish anything if I didn’t have to do it alone. That took care of part one when I had some plans about how to reach my goal.

I then decided that I had to set some specific goals. I weighed more than double what I should, and the time was now to fix it. I knew that I had to learn how to lose weight fastbecause my health was in danger and if I did not act quickly, I might not get another chance to succeed, and like the people on the show I had watched, I decided that I could lose more than ten pounds a week if I worked hard enough. I was prepared for all the hard work that I knew lay ahead of me on my quest to lose weight.

I could not achieve the results by myself, I knew that I wouldn’t succeed by doing a handful of six pack ab exercises in the comfort of my own home whenever I could find the time to do it, and I wanted some professional help. I got myself motivated and worked my way out to a fitness club. I signed up for a membership, and sought out their professional trainers to help me out. I also went to see my doctor to make sure that I wouldn’t hurt myself by trying to work out. My doctor put me on a diet that would help me lose the weight. I was giving a workout routine by the people at the health club. And I was off on my journey.

I dedicated all of my time to reaching my goal of losing weight. There was no time for anything else. Because of my dedication I saw some results. The pounds were disappearing. In just the first month, I was able to lose over forty pounds. For a short time, my weight loss stopped, and I was stick at the same weight for a couple of weeks. My physician let me know that this happens from time to time and it is nothing that I should be concerned about. I took the advice and kept working out. Eventually the pounds started to disappear again. My supporters were right, and I felt good about myself.

Since I started my diet and exercise program, I have lost almost half of my body weight. It wasn’t always easy, but it was all worth it. My doctor told me that I am now healthier than I have been in over twenty years. Friends and family are awestruck at the amount of weight I have lost. I have a new outlook on the future and I look forward to looking at myself in the mirror every day. I never want to gain the weight back, but that has not been the greatest benefit I received. The best part has been the great feeling I have about myself. That in the end is priceless.
