Fighting the Great Weight Loss Fight


You know you are in trouble when your significant other, the one who vowed to love you for better or worse, tells you that your booty is a little too bootilicious. Once you get over the urge to suffocate them with a pillow, you reluctantly realise as you struggle to close the top button of your favourite jeans that maybe, just maybe, they could be right.

Once you have had this epiphany, you decide to skip breakfast. You feel empowered and guilt-free until the hunger pangs strike so you grab an apple then a small snack, soon after possibly another snack then another as you push on through the day with determination. By dinner time you are most likely to have consumed more calories than what you ordinarily would have on any given day and without a doubt eat more than you should for dinner as well.

 So, crushed but not yet defeated you see a ‘miracle weight loss’ tablet or shake on an infomercial. The toned trim celebrity that endorsed the product promised great results and the before and after pictures by their clientele is encouraging, you excitedly sit down to watch the next 15 minutes of testimonials by gorgeous people with gorgeous bodies. You practically vibrating with enthusiasm as you wait with baited breath for the price, then the beautiful bubble you created where you have your toned parts on display in a ‘yellow mini dot bikini’ gets rapidly blown to bits at the ridiculous figure, you definitely can’t afford, flashes across the screen.

Fighting tears and the desire to smash the television into little pieces, you realise that you have no choice but to lose the weight the good old fashion way: exercise. So with reluctance you check out gym membership options and then break out in cold sweats when you think about being on display while you all blotchy and red faced.

Well, why not try a treadmill. Treadmills are a wonderful exercise tool. They help you lose weight in the privacy of your own home and for their convenience you don’t need to sell one of your kidneys because there are some good budget friendly treadmills out there. Depending on the horsepower you need, they are priced accordingly and any good treadmill has, at the very least, a one year warranty on the motor. Look for good belt motion and handrails that are within a comfortable touching range, to stop a fall not cause one.

Pre set modes and programmes are nice bonus features but remember you sometimes have to pay more for special or certain features. Treadmills can sometimes be bulky to store but it’s not impossible to find one that stores well as for the noise, again quite possible to find one that doesn’t sound like a construction site unless you like hat sort of thing. The make and model is important when it comes to wear and tear.

Getting a treadmill that you can jog on is not the same as getting one that you have to run on unless you want your treadmill to bounce around with you as you run.  Finding a treadmill is as easy as 1, 2, 3 just go on-line to a reputable site or vendor and pick one within your budget.

Weight loss doesn’t have to be a mission or a well thought out execution but a life changing step that brings great rewards to your emotional as well as your physical well being.  Go on; take that step to vitality...
