Hollywood is losing weight and fans shake their heads critically at waif looking stars. Society values good looks and since thin or skinny is more acceptable to society than fat, some people carry it to an extreme. Certainly anorexia and bulimia are problems related to eating for self image and obviously some individuals have become obsessed with losing weight, HOWEVER, it is a reasonable goal for an adult to have as their ideal weight, the same weight as they did in high school as long as that weight was ideal for them at that time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT41bQyh2GU Here is a video on youtube that shows an overall fast and effective workout to do if you are putting on a few extra pounds.
Citiflex Houston in home personal trainer Melissa learned at U. T. School of Nursing from a licensed dietitian, that every person should have, as their ideal weight, the weight they had in high school, as long as they were not overweight during that time. The best way to stay close to that ideal weight is to weigh regularly. Weighing gives each person vital information on how successfully a program is working out and also is a strong motivation for most. The weight and measure charts that most people go by show normal weight to increase with age. This is not a true reflection of what is most healthy though. With consistent exercise and healthy eating, weight should remain constant throughout life with minimal fluctuations. So a weight of 125 pounds in high school for a 5foot 8 inch individual who looks healthy and is in good shape, is the perfect weight for that same individual when they are in their twenties, thirties, fourties fifties and so on. When a person keeps gaining weight as they age, it is because they are eating the same as they did in high school but are not exercising like they did in high school. The muscles are not used enough and the body starts accumulating unattractive fat.Though personal trainers may say it is important to care about improved health and reduced body fat, in reality, most people are looking for a specific number to register on the scale and that is probably the reason why. A lot of people feel that when they are working out an increase in weight is due to increased muscle mass. This is not usually the case however. Increased weight might be from eating more because of increased hunger due to working out which is why it is so important to eat veggies and fruit..
These same people are told that the number on the scale can vary due to muscle mass or water retention, but to them it is still no different than the goal of wanting to get into that favorite pair of jeans, or wanting so last an hour in a cardio kick boxing class...its a GOAL The number one motivation for people according to an informal poll of individuals wanting to lose weight, is the scale alone.
The "scale" can make a day start of great or horrible for some people. These same clients may want to weigh several times during one day which never provides any more useful information. Bottom line is that it is ok to want to achieve a number goal on the scale and it is fine to chart daily progress with a scale. It is healthy to accept temporary fluctuations and also to weigh regularly as opposed to avoiding the scale totally. According to the National Weight Control Registry, the majority of people who have lost weight successfully and kept it off for a year, weigh at least weekly and 38 Percent of those weigh daily. So Houston Personal Trainers Melissa and Stephanie encourage individuals to "Go for that magic number" that will make them happiest and use the scale as their secret weapon to track their success. Check out recipies on this site for menu ideas that will help with weight control. A good rule of thumb is that if a person weighs 120 pounds then they can eat ten times their weight in food..or 1200 calories. The food needs to be a balance of fruit, veggies, protein and water.  |
