If you need to lose weight… even a large amount of weight… take heart! Recent studies have shown that a weight loss of even five to ten percent of your current weight significantly reduces your risk of heart disease and diabetes. Let’s say you weight 250 pounds and your ideal weight according to health charts is 130 pounds. So, you have been advised to lose 120 pounds. Now that is enough to discourage anybody. However, suppose you were told to lose between 12 and 25 pounds. Does that sound like something you would be able to do? Let me answer for you… yes! Oftentimes folks get downright discouraged because the amount of weight they’ve been advised to lose is “off the wall”. How can you deal with losing more than one hundred pounds? (I’ll answer that too… you lose 100 pounds one ounce at a time as surely as you travel from New Jersey to California one mile at a time.)
