Summer Weight Loss Goals : Survey
What are you weight loss goals for the summer? Or are you one of those lucky genetically blessed few that has never had any problems with your weight ballooning up or of having cravings for the wrong kinds of food, and lots of it, at that? Most of us aren’t, and we have struggled on and off, especially the older we get, since our metabolisms slow down when we start to age, and it seems like the smaller weight gains turn into longer periods of time, and that the foods we eat tend to stick to our problem areas a little more. That’s right, you can’t each cheeseburgers and pizza with no repercussions when you get older, no sir!
Most people I know, women and men, have some sort of weight loss goal when they start to see summer coming on the horizon. Myself included. Shoot, I dropped ten from my winter pounds and I still want to lose another five to ten pounds now that I realize it’s totally doable without torturing myself since I really love some of the healthy foods I’ve now become accustomed to. It’s hard in the summer I’d say to not eat out because you do tend to be out and about more since the weather is nicer, and it’s hard not to do the social eating and alcohol drinking thing, so although most people think it’s easier to stay thinner in the summer, it actually isn’t for a lot of people.
Most of my friends have a mild weight loss goal for the summer time, the common ones being ten pounds, maybe fifteen here and there, and some of the naturally thin ones who haven’t had many weight struggles might say five or so pounds just so they can comfortably fit in some of their summer clothes without feeling like they’re spilling out of them.
What’s your summer weight loss goal, and how do you plant to achieve it? Mine is ten ideally, and I plan to achieve it by limiting my calories to about 1500 per day and exercising a lot, especially jogging down our road since jogging really seems to melt the calories away better than anything else since it’s constant stress on the body and forces the body to burn mega calories. Plus it’s great for burning off fat on the legs and thighs I’ve found.
