How to Move the Numbers on Your Weight ScalesDon't Get Frustrated - Get a Move On Down the Weight Scales! Does your weight scales appear to be stuck in neutral - and when (if ever) they do move, they go up rather than down? What goes up, must come down, right? But sometimes, it feels like we're getting nowhere where weighty issues are concerned. Until now! Weighing Scenarios & Solutions In today's world, we strive to make increases in almost everything on the planet EXCEPT where weight is concerned. To assist in getting those numbers on the scales to go down a few notches, try to match the situation that mirrors closest to your own. BUT - first and foremost, make sure that your weight scales aren't broken. It's much like checking to make sure a car has gas before pulling out the spark plugs and engine. And now let's weigh-in for those hot tips that just may help to tip the weight scales in the positive direction. Oh that glorious downward spiral! Watch out for the nose dive! Weighing Scenario #1 1. You are on a diet but the numbers on the weight scales aren't budging. Possible Weight Solutions: - Are you expecting too much? It takes time to lose weight. Losing 2 pounds per week is exceptional - so approach weight loss patiently. - Your daily calorie intake might be set too high. Try tracking your calories to verify, then adjust accordingly. - You may have restricted your calories too severely which will cause the metabolism to run in ultra slow gear. Again, try tracking your calories to verify, then adjust accordingly. Weighing Scenario #2 2. The numbers on your weight scales are going up and you have no idea why. Possible Weight Solutions: - You may have a hidden medical condition impacting your weight. A malfunctioning thyroid, diabetes, hormonal imbalances, pregnancy and even allergies can contribute to weight gain. Meet with your doctor to discuss such. - Your daily calorie intake might be set too high. Try tracking your calories to verify, then adjust accordingly. - The older we get, the less calories our bodies require. Either rev-up your activity level or decrease calories accordingly. - A decline in physical activity for anyone at any age can impact the numbers on the weight scales. Adjust activity levels accordingly.
Weighing Scenario #3 3. You know that you need to diet BUT oh bother! You never seem to meet your weight loss goals anyway. Even so, you desperately desire to do such. But in the meantime, how can you keep the numbers on your weight scales from increasing? Possible Weight Solutions: - Your current weight is based on the number of calories consumed on a daily basis. The body stores and/or eliminates the residuals from the foods and beverages that we consume. Whenever we consume more calories than our present weight can sustain, we gain weight as excess food (energy) is stored in our fat cells. In order to ensure that your current weight will not increase, you'll need to make certain that you consume only the necessary calories required for your current weight. To do such, use the following charts at Diet Bites: How Many Calories Do You Need Per Day? Recommended Calorie Needs for Individuals Weighing: Simply locate your current weight, note the calories necessary to maintain that weight, then track your daily calorie intake. When you decide to lose weight, simply decrease daily calories - but not too severely or as noted above, your metabolism will move into slow-mode thus causing a slow-down in the movement of the numbers on your weight scales.
