Thank you for the overwhelming response to the '4 Weeks to a Firmer Body' Challenge! You are now joining women from 50 countries in the 4 week body transformation plan.
This article is week 1 of 4.
Today is a day you should mark on your calendar. The time to change is NOW. I consider your success to be my success and your failure to be mine.
When I started exercising as a 300 pound teenager, I had no one to help me. I made all the mistakes one can possibly make - got injured, tried diets and weight loss pills.
Nothing worked. Everything changed on September 23rd 1994 when I walked into college on the first day. I felt alienated as an overweight teenager in a new college and struggled to socialize and make new friends. I felt fat, unhappy and underconfident. Something had to be done, and I resolved to change.
I learned my first lesson - start slowly and progress gradually. That's exactly what you are going to do.
Your first task this week is pretty simple.
Start walking 15 minutes more than you normally do, 3 times a week. By this time next Thursday, I want you to complete 3 sessions of walking, each with a duration of at least 15 minutes. A treadmill, elliptical or other form of aerobic exercise is acceptable.
Walk at a brisk pace so that you are slightly out of breath (but not gasping). The idea is to raise your heart rate and burn more calories. This is a simple, but very powerful way to lose weight.
Your second task is to make one change in your diet.
Identify something in your diet that is unhealthy and prevents you from losing weight. It may be candy, chips, fast foods, cookies, ice cream etc. Avoid it for the next 7 days.
Do what I say, and by this time next week - you will feel more energetic and ready to act on my next email about Week 2, when I step up the pace. I will put you on an exercise plan next week.
