Are you forever struggling to lose that last 20 pounds? You aren't alone, there are millions of us out there working on that same goal. You want to be healthy and fit because it would do wonders for your confidence and self-image.
Dedicated exercise programs are a huge help with weight loss - not only will you see weight loss, you'll see muscles coming along - you'll begin feelin' good and havin' more fun.

Problem weight loss stories are in almost every magazine you pick-up and how often do you pull up your home page on the computer and one or several actresses are looking emaciated - what the heck is wrong with their self-image? They have money, fans, great looks, almost everything money can buy.
Obviously though, thinner bodies aren't making for happier people. In America our female population obsess with weight and how they look. How depressing is that? There are also men out there who obsess about their weight, but studies show men lose weight much faster than women if they put their mind to it and make some positive food adjustments. Besides men are looking for ways to build their bodies up, they want muscles.
When asked, women don't care about muscles, they want to lose weight and men, when asked, want to be more muscular and feel they could weigh more. Women look in the mirror and their inner voice tells them "you're fat, what's with the 10 pounds?" Men on the other hand feel they only have to lose about five pounds. If you're struggling, you're probably five steps away from the latest fad diet. It'll only hurt you more than help and they don't work.
Once you have conquered your own weight loss, share your blooming self-esteem, it's a valued gift you can give to everyone - you can inspire and influence others and you can be supportive as they work off that last 20 pounds. Following is a great recipe for pancakes you might want to share with your kids since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, perfect for Halloween and sugar-free.
