Willpower – some days you may have it in abundance, other days you may find it is a scarce commodity indeed. When your aim is to lose weight, be healthy and commit to a regular exercise program, willpower is something you may wish to have around as much as possible. So how can you improve your willpower, or at the very least, have it available when you need it the most?

Weight management or weight maintenance can be just as challenging as losing weight. Getting down to your goal weight and then staying there needs to be consistently addressed with weigh-ins, check-ins, and evaluations. If you think you are going to lose weight and then return to your old habits, then you will be in for a surprise. Those pounds will creep on in the blink of an eye, and you will be back to square one, having to curb your habits and lose the weight all over again.

When you eat a healthy, balanced diet supported by regular exercise, you will lose weight. But aside from the pounds you may shed, choosing to follow a weight loss program such as FIT Medical Weight Loss will also bring with it many other positive changes into your life. Whether you consider these small non-scale victories something to celebrate, or not, they will allow you to reflect on the changes you have made to your lifestyle and more importantly the creation of healthy habits.

When you are losing weight, you naturally want to make the most of your current wardrobe before putting your hand in your pocket to buy more. However, if you are planning on dropping more than one dress size, then you may need a transition wardrobe to see you through. No one wants to spend a huge wad of cash, only to realize that in two months none of it fits, and they are back to square one. Aside from borrowing from your besties (which is a fabulous idea by the way!), here are some cost saving tips that you can apply to your wardrobe, so you feel great, look fantastic and save your hard-earned dollars to boost your wardrobe when you finally reach your goal weight.

Life can get busy sometimes and much too often, we put ourselves last instead of first. We work more hours than we need to, and that’s not counting the commitments that we hold ourselves accountable for. Our health, our weight and our ability to look and feel our best becomes less and less of a priority.

Hormone imbalance can reduce the quality of life for men, as well as women. While a lot is spoken in the media about menopause, not so much is mentioned about men and the loss of hormones which can affect their daily life and their body’s ability to function. Known as andropause, it is a condition which is associated with the decrease in testosterone. While effects of menopause can be sudden, the symptoms in andropause are more gradual, and a lot less noticeable.

Whether you aim to walk 10,000 steps per day, or you just want to increase that step count in general, there is really no time like the present. Walking is one of the best exercises you can do – it is cost-effective, wonderful for the environment and is low-impact enough for those suffering from joint pain or high blood pressure. It doesn’t matter whether you are 6 or 60, walking each day is doable, regardless of the weather outside.

Independence Day, or 4th of July, is one of our most beloved holidays. The national holiday occurs during summer and gives everyone the chance to relax with their family and friends and celebrate with good food. While many people are concerned about getting through holidays such as the 4th or July or Thanksgiving and being able to stick to their diet plan, our weight loss program intertwined with healthy dishes such as the ones featured in this article will ensure you get through it in one piece.

Travel is exciting; there is no doubt about it!

This is a common issue we hear from our clients at FIT Medical Weight Loss, but we have some great tips to help you solve this problem. While you may not be able to stick 100% to your diet goals depending on where you are traveling, you can ensure that you don’t come back from your holiday weighing more than when you left.

When the weather is warm, finding the motivation to go for a jog or a walk can be difficult. That is why exercising in water can mix your routine up nicely, and give you a nice respite from the summer sun. Exercising in water does not just mean swimming lap after lap of freestyle swimming which can get dull very quickly. There are many ways you can exercise, stretch, tone up and burn calories in the water which is particularly beneficial for those seeking a low-joint impact form of exercise. All you need is a well-fitting swimsuit and a bit of motivation to get you started.
