Get In Great Shape - What It Really Takes!
Commercials bombard you with promises you can easily get in great shape. Supposedly those beautiful people used an ab machine for 10 minutes, three times a week and now, they look fabulous. Or, skimming past the checkout line, you notice magazine headlines: Eat what you love and lose. Walk your way to a trim you. Or, lose 30 pounds in 30 days.
It is time to be logical and realistic with yourself. How many thousands of meals did it take you to put on all those unwanted pounds? It took years of poor nutrition and exercise habits to get out of shape. The weight will not suddenly come off with some hyped-up product or 10 minutes of exercise!
Stop looking for weight loss shortcuts. Accept that getting in shape requires effort and knowledge.
The solution to achieving a fabulous physique requires excellent diet and physical activity lifestyle habits. Do not waste one more moment looking into those appealing diet pills, tummy crunchers, meal replacement bars, or fat burners.
There is a lot of bogus information. For example, it absolutely does not work to overeat every single weekend. You spend all week just burning off your weekend calories. Many people at the health club workout religiously yet they never lose weight simply because they overeat every single weekend.
You may falsely believe you can eat whatever you want because you exercise. That is wishful thinking. Working out is not enough to lose those unwanted pounds.
Weight loss requires a caloric deficit. Even if you exercise, you still need to count how many calories you consume daily. Is this popular advice? No! But, do you want popular advice or effective advice?
After two kids, at 42 years old, NO liposuction, NO gastric bypass surgery, just good old fashioned hard work and good nutrition, I'm fit. Try doing what is proven to be successful.
Getting in great shape requires knowledge, physical activity, plus good eating habits. Once you get the weight off, you need to continue your high level of physical activity plus eat well for the rest of your life.
Decide that you are seriously ready to work at weight loss. You are tired of being fat, depressed, discouraged, angry, and letting food and laziness control your entire life. Spend some time reading the articles on my website, http://www.losethelieslosetheweight.com/.
Learn from someone who understands the diet lies. When I believed the weight loss lies, I lost NO weight!
When you are seriously ready to change, get my book, Lose the Lies Lose the Weight. What are you waiting for? Fitness IS within your grasp. Take that first step!

Lose Your "Lies" and Lose Your Weight
Welcome to the first installment of the Lose the Lies Lose the Weight Blog!
Dear Reader,
Have you ever noticed those unbelievably fit men and women and wondered how they do it? Well, here's your chance to learn how fit people think, eat, move, and live. This new Lose the Lies Lose the Weight blog will teach you the fitness lifestyle so weight loss and body shaping success will come naturally for you!
Since this is our first issue, I will provide my background on my weight loss struggle and how I became so interested in helping others beat their weight battles.
When I was 15 years old, my parents retired from their North Dakota farm and moved to the city. Within three months, I gained 25 pounds and the adjective chubby with my new citified, sedentary lifestyle.
My weight-loss battle began, using weapons ranging from fasting and over-the-counter diet pills to sporadic exercise. Nothing worked.
Fast forward to today. I am a 42-year-old mother of two sporting a six-pack on the cover of my just released book, Lose the Lies Lose the Weight, which explains how I did it and how you can too.
I started winning the battle of the bulge in my junior year at Minnesota State University, Moorhead. My turnaround came on like an epiphany. I did some math. I realized if I kept gaining five pounds a year, I would weigh 175 pounds at 30, 225 pounds at 40, and 275 pounds at 50. Putting my self-doubts aside, I joined a health club in Fargo the next day. In March of 1987, I began living the fitness lifestyle.
Your mindset, getting ready to succeed, is an important part of getting fit. Many fitness authors do not prepare you for the psychological challenges you will face as you strive to get in shape. In the first six chapters of Lose the Lies, Lose the Weight, I teach you how to get mentally prepared to win at weight loss.
In Lose the Lies Lose the Weight, http://www.losethelieslosetheweight.com, I destroy the weight loss lies such as (Everyone gains weight as they get older) and (You will never look the same after having kids.) I also identify 10 destructive lies people tell themselves, six manipulative lies they hear from others, four nutrition and two exercise lies.
Getting fit requires honesty with yourself (no lies, no excuses) knowledge, discipline, and motivation. In each blog post, I will share my knowledge so you will be able to get in the best shape of your entire life. I am looking forward to helping you achieve your fitness goals.
Yours in good health,
Laurie Bell
