It seems every year, people make the resolution to exercise and lose weight and get in shape.

We can eat anything in moderation, as long as there's also regular, consistent exercise. To have lasting weight loss, one must include regular exercise with healthy eating in a way that can be continued forever.

A lot of people are doing something about their weight, but by their own reckoning, it isn't enough to get the results they want.

Sadly, only something like 10 to 12 percent of people are able to recover from a weight regain. The people who do manage to turn it around catch it quickly, even with just two pounds regained.

You have to face your fears and challenge them head on, or your psychological land mines will blow up your weight loss dreams.

I knew I needed to lose some weight. When I was playing out there during the season and I was hurting and everything, I knew in my mind I needed to lose a little weight on my knees.
