I look at my life in two stages, before and after. I know you’re probably thinking before the weight loss and after the weight loss, but that’s not the case here.

In my case the before is (yes being overweight) before I was struck with diabetes. After is obviously the fall out after getting (and dealing with) it.

I was in my mid twenties and I was overweight. Not drastically but I was nearly always carrying around an extra 15 to 20 pounds.

I had tried to shift it many times but motivation is a damn difficult beast to master. I was stuck in the mindset of “I can’t lose weight“.

When I was trying and losing weight it seemed to take for ever to drop a couple pounds. When I stopped trying I gained any losses back almost overnight.

I suppose you could say getting diabetes is a disaster, maybe not a real disaster but with all the complications that come with it, it certainly seems to be a disaster.

It seemed I had to rid myself of any “can’t lose weight” thoughts and also rid myself of any excess weight. My health depended on it.

What the hell was I gonna do? I was convinced for most of my adult life that I simply can’t lose weight. I needed to get hold of a dieting system that worked for me.

What I thought I needed was something that I could follow step by step every day. Along the way ticking off the boxes when I’d finished a step.

If my daily tasks were meals or a few exercises then I wanted a neat list of things I could tick off when I’m done. If I stick to the plan I must be doing it right.

I found and tried all sorts of diets and contraptions. I read a lot of Ebooks and paper books but I didn’t feel fully comfortable with any of them.

I actually discovered a neat system that has a computer generated diet planner. Better still it doesn’t restrict my meal sizes! It takes all the stress out of planning the correct meals and diet.

I mentioned earlier that I like to tick the boxes off when I’m doing something, well this system ticks all the boxes for me. Forgive the little joke there!

Still think you can’t lose weight? I can tell you from my experience that isn’t the case. Maybe like me you need a system that holds your hand and works for you. That system could be the same one I’m using, who knows?

Read a review on my site of some of the stuff I’ve tried. Clearly my current and fav system is going to be ranked number 1. What have you got to lose? Hopefully a bit of weight!

I look at my life in two stages, before and after. I know you’re probably thinking before the weight loss and after the weight loss, but that’s not the case here.

My before part is before I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My after part is what happens after, dealing with the aftermath.

I didn’t think I was too overweight for someone in my mid twenties. I regularly carried about fifteen pounds extra.

I had tried to shift it many times but motivation is a damn difficult beast to master. I was stuck in the mindset of “I can’t lose weight“.

When I was trying and losing weight it seemed to take for ever to drop a couple pounds. When I stopped trying I gained any losses back almost overnight.

I suppose you could say getting diabetes is a disaster, maybe not a real disaster but with all the complications that come with it, it certainly seems to be a disaster.

I was told in no uncertain terms to drop the weight, or suffer. I had to stop thinking I can’t lose weight and start thinking I can lose weight.

Just what was I gonna do? Up until now I believed I can’t lose weight. Now I’m faced with finding a system that works for me.

What I thought I needed was something that I could follow step by step every day. Along the way ticking off the boxes when I’d finished a step.

Depending on whether my daily tasks were certain exercise routines or planned meals I wanted to be able to tick off when they were done. I know I’m sticking to my system this way.

I had differing levels of success with all manner of dieting systems and gizmos. Some quite expensive! I read plenty of books and lots of Ebooks.

I eventually discovered a neat little step by step system that has a computer generated diet planner, which importantly doesn’t restrict your portion sizes. It makes it so quick and easy to plan meals.

I said I like to tick boxes as I go, well this system ticks all the right boxes for me. Was that a bit of a pun there?

I can tell you from my own experiences that you are most likely wrong if you are assuming you can’t lose weight. If you are yet to find a system that works for you then maybe that system is the one I’m using?

You can check out a few things I’ve used and my current fav system in a few reviews I’ve put on my blog. You’ve got nothing to lose but weight!

Exercise for love handles, is it painful? Depends on what you do. It doesn’t have to be painful.

Those nasty lumps of fat at your sides are what is termed as ‘love handles’. There’s nothing lovely about them so where the name comes from I don’t know.

The technical term for love handles is obliques, after the oblique muscles which sit at an angle at each side. The word oblique mean ‘at an angle’.

The majority of advice in the fitness game will be garbage like – eat healthily, balanced diet, exercise regularly – that sort of thing.

We are well aware of all that advice but we need an easy way without any real work, is it possible?

Well, let me say this, yes it’s possible to eat like you are now and lose your love handles but it will take an enormous amount of work.

Your biggest problem is that while you exercise your love handles off, with hard time in the gym. Today’s junk food is travelling merrily to your waist.

If, and I say then tentatively, if you were to cut the crap food out you will find you can do far less exercise to maintain a great body.

It’s about compromise. How much do you really want to lose those love handles? Is it enough to make a change to your lifestyle?

Or do you want to continue to fill your self with junk food and work much harder at the exercise routines. It’s your call.

Example exercises for love handles are side bends. If you eat like you do now you may need to do a couple hundred of these a day to  stay as you are. Or make the lifestyle change and only need to do fifty to get rid of the love handles.

As you will gather from the above, it’s a fine balancing act. Junk food = more exercise while healthy food = less exercise.

I’m inherently lazy, so I tend to go for the healthiest option that I can to minimise any exercise I have to do. I still do exercises for love handles but only to keep them at bay.

To wrap it up, it will indeed hurt if you have to do masses of exercise for love handles. Far better to minimise the exercise by altering your lifestyle a bit.

Have you got the willpower to do it? If you wanna check out my fav weight loss I’ve reviewed a few that I’ve tried on my site. What have you got to lose? Maybe your love handles!

If you seriously think you can’t lose weight you need to have a rethink. Everybody, given the right methods, can lose weight. There’s no secret to it.

I used to firmly believe I can’t lose weight and would always be overweight. But, I was proven wrong in the end.

I used to go up and down like a lift with my weight. It was mostly ups though. I was then hit by a sudden illness, age onset diabetes.

Was it caused by me being overweight? I don’t know and I don’t think I’ll find that one out. But I know it gave me the shock of my life.

Only twenty seven and lumped with a life long illness. Just how did I get this ‘old age’ persons disease?

I knew the time was right for positive action. Time to really lose weight, no more talking, just doing. I view on life had to change.

Like most “fatties” I tried all sorts of diets and gizmos. Some of the stuff was sickeningly expensive and turned out to be next to useless. I shudder at how much money I’ve thrown away.

What I found was a step by step system that allows me to plan my day and my meals. I can plan meals of a decent size that aren’t going to leave me hungry.

I use a computer diet generator that does away with any hassle I might have in planning proper meals. I used to really get aggravated working out what I can & can’t have.

I was a chocolate victim. I ate far too much of it which is probably my number one reason for being overweight. Because of the diabetes the chocolate stopped overnight. To be honest I hardly miss it now.

If you are like I was and believe you can’t lose weight then it’s time you started to change your way of thinking. We can all lose weight if we just stop believing we can’t lose weight.

Make the decision and you will not regret it. In the future you can look back and probably be embarrassed at how you believed you can’t lose weight.

I’m a bit OCD and like to have everything I do put into systems. I like to follow lists of instructions knowing that at the end I’ll get the result I expect. It’s no different with my weight loss and it could be the same for you.

If you want to check out some of the methods I used, including my fav lose weight system there are reviews on my site. Losing weight’s like riding a bike. Learn it properly and you’ll never forget.

If you seriously think you can’t lose weight you need to have a rethink. Everybody, given the right methods, can lose weight. There’s no secret to it.

I used to firmly believe I can’t lose weight and would always be overweight. But, I was proven wrong in the end.

I went for years just yo-yoing up and down with my weight. Mostly up but some downs. I was all of a sudden diagnosed with diabetes.

Was it caused by me being overweight? I don’t know and I don’t think I’ll find that one out. But I know it gave me the shock of my life.

27 years old and diabetic. But worse in my eyes was I had what was termed “age onset diabetes”, what older people get.

I knew the time was right for positive action. Time to really lose weight, no more talking, just doing. I view on life had to change.

Over the years I’ve tried everything from weightwatchers to ab crunchers. And some of the stuff has cost me a small fortune. I dread to think how much I’ve shelled out on diet ‘fads’.

I ended up using a step by step system that allows me to plan ahead. I can plan my meals and thankfully I don’t have to ration them.

I use a computer diet generator that does away with any hassle I might have in planning proper meals. I used to really get aggravated working out what I can & can’t have.

I was terrible when it came to the weekend. If I’d managed to drop a pound or two I’d end up rewarding myself and undoing any progress I’d made through the week. Talk about vicious circle.

If you are like I used to be and still think you can’t lose weight then you need a fresh outlook on things. You can, and will lose weight if you start right now believing you can.

You won’t regret making the decision. You’ll look back in years to come and realise how silly a notion it is to think you can’t lose weight.

I’m a bit of an obsessive and I like to tick the boxes every day to know I’m doing the right things. If you are like me and like a system to follow then you could do worse than following in my footsteps.

I’ve reviewed some of the stuff I’ve tried including my fav system on my web page. If you think you can’t lose weight, check it out and be prepared to be proven wrong. Are you up for a challenge?

Exercise for love handles, is it painful? Depends on what you do. It doesn’t have to be painful.

Love handles are those horrid looking lumps of fat hanging off most adults sides, at about the waist level. Why they are called ‘love handles’ is beyond me. There’s no love there!

The correct term for them is ‘obliques’, as they are at an angle to our bodies. The term oblique means slanting, or at an angle.

In the fitness & health industry the standard advice starts with – eat healthily, exercise moderately, balanced diet – and all the other rubbish they spout.

We know what we should do but we need to get rid of these love handles the easy way, without the hard work. Is there a way?

Yes, you could do it. You could eat as you are now but it will take an almost Herculean effort to manage it.

Your biggest problem is that while you exercise your love handles off, with hard time in the gym. Today’s junk food is travelling merrily to your waist.

If, and I say then tentatively, if you were to cut the crap food out you will find you can do far less exercise to maintain a great body.

It’s all about trade-off. How bad do you want to get rid of your love handles? Bad enough to change your lifestyle?

Or do you want to continue to fill your self with junk food and work much harder at the exercise routines. It’s your call.

A popular exercise for love handles is side bends. You may need to do a few hundred a day to maintain your love handles and your current diet. Or only do a few dozen to keep the love handles flat if you make the lifestyle change.

You can see from the above example how it’s a trade off. Eating junk means more exercise, eating better means less exercise.

I’m inherently lazy, so I tend to go for the healthiest option that I can to minimise any exercise I have to do. I still do exercises for love handles but only to keep them at bay.

To wrap it up, it will indeed hurt if you have to do masses of exercise for love handles. Far better to minimise the exercise by altering your lifestyle a bit.

Do you have what it takes? You might benefit from the step by step weight loss system that I follow every day. Read a review of that & more on my site. Nothing to lose but love handles!
