The bible teaches us to write our plans down and make them plain and a healthy body is (or should be) part of our overall life plan. Some of us may need to modify our weight because of health issues. We highly recommend consulting your Doctor prior to starting any weight loss program.
Let’s note where we are and set some realistic goals for ourselves.
1) Write down our measurements including neck, arms (biceps), above and under the breasts, waist, abdomen, hips, both thighs, calves.
2) Weigh ourselves and then decide:
- What size we want to wear (4, 5, 6, 10 or 12)
- How much we want to weigh
- What we want our measurements to be (36, 24, 36 is not for everyone)
- Favorite kind of exercise
- How often we will exercise (3 times a week is ideal)
3) Keep a weekly log of our progress. Take note of setbacks (why, what we can do differently, etc.) and be encouraged by our accomplishments.
