Weight Watchers’ Program. Beth and Deana use the Weight Watchers’ point system, in which portions of individual foods represent a specific number of points, to help them stay within the daily allocated points.

Their at-home kit that includes the diet plan’s nutrition guide and its slide, a gadget that helps measure calories, or points, consumed during the day, is crucial to their success.

Exercise. Ask any successful weight loser, he/she will tell you that exercise is one of the essential keys to weight loss success.

Beth and Deana do interval walking/running in the park or on treadmills at the gym that equals to between 3 and 5 miles of cardiovascular work, three days a week.

They also take part in the “Gravity” class that focuses on strength training, using total body machines. Guess what? Since they joined the class last August, they went down 3 dress sizes!

Teaming up with your best friend to lose weight is easy, but how do you make your weight loss a success? Well, through commitment and accountability.

Here is another success story of a weight loser, Khourey Royal, who didn’t resort to fast weight loss solutions like going through surgery or taking pills to help him shed inches and pounds.

Diet and exercise helped Royal lose 165lbs in just over a year!

Remember Jennifer Pate who lost 116lbs through regular workouts and healthy meals? It’s the same to Khourey Royal who lost from 430 pounds to 265.

What made Royal want to lose weight? According to him, “I kinda woke up one morning and thought I’d take the initiative to improve my life and improve my health and getting in better shape.”

How did he lose his weight? Exercise. Royal was a runner. He ran between 30 and 40 miles a week. Long runs between 10 and 11 miles and short runs like 5 or 6 miles.

Khourey gave a lot of credit for his weight loss to his friends who ran with him and pushed him to run further and harder.

His advice on when you hit a plateau is just be patient. Stick with it, keep going at it and you’ll reach the weight you want.

Losing weight has changed him for the better. He’s happier, he’s not as fatigued. It’s now a new way of life, a healthier cleaner way of life for Royal.

Oh, I love reading success stories of weight losers very much! Their stories and secrets of losing weight inspire me to keep on shedding inches and pounds or retaining my existing weight.

Here is the story of Jennifer Pate of Ellenwood who successfully lost 116 pounds between January 2008 and September 2009.

I am curious how this mother of three is doing now? Did she lose another 25 pounds that she said she would?

What made her want to shed those pounds off? Well, when she saw a picture of herself one day! She couldn’t believe that was her and she broke down and cried.

Due to her obesity, she suffered from high blood pressure, poor circulation in her hands and feet, bone spurs and loss of energy.

What were her weight loss solutions to lose 116lbs? She started doing workouts with another family member and eating healthy meals.

Frequent Workouts. Jennifer did work out six days a week. She did a lot of running outside and on the treadmill, cycling two or three times a week at the gym, step classes, walking up Stone Mountain and running around it.

Healthy Meals. Let’s see her diet plan – Breakfast is a small bowl of grits and half a grapefruit. Lunch is a small salad and dinner is grilled chicken, spinach and fruit.

As I always say, regular exercise and healthy diet are still the best ways of losing weight.

Did she hit a plateau like anyone else who is losing weight? Of course she did. She joined Casi’s Straight Military Style Bootcamp where she lost more weight.

You know what makes her feel good after losing weight? She doesn’t have to shop in plus-size stores anymore! :-)

So, your New Year resolution is to lose those extra pounds piled over Christmas and New Year holidays? Before you begin any fast weight loss solution, be it a diet pill or a diet plan, let me tell you the secrets of successful weight losers.

The National Weight Control Registry at www.nwcr.ws has collected data on people who’ve shed a significant amount of pounds and kept their weight off.

Here are the successful weight losers’ secrets:

* 78% eat breakfast every day. This doesn’t mean grabbing a donut on the way to work. Make sure you eat a healthy meal like an egg-white omelet and whole-wheat toast.

* 62% watch less than 10 hours of TV per week.

* 90% exercise about one hour per day. The most frequently reported form of activity is walking.

* 75% weigh themselves at least once a week.

* If a bad weigh-in sends you to the cookie jar for comfort instead of to the gym for revenge, skip the scale and keep an eye on how your clothes fit.

To keep your weight off permanently, you really have to maintain a low calorie, low fat diet and doing high levels of activity!
