If you have ever been on a diet then you know how hard it can be to shed five or 10 pounds. With most adults being fairly clueless about the correct or healthiest way to lose weight it is hard to imagine the struggle that a young teenager or child may experience in their attempts to lose weight. If you are a 10 or an 11 year old or even a 12 year old you can be at the mercy of what the parents have in the house and is made available for you to eat. Even if a young adult was trying to lose weight such as the ages mentioned above it would be almost impossible for them to be able to lose weight without the strength and support of their parents. If we were to take the age of a child down to that of a 5 year old with a weight problem, it becomes the complete burden of the parents of that child.

The big question about Alli, the fairly new diet pill on the market, is whether or not it works. As you sit there you are hoping for some wonder drug that will help you drop 20 pounds, or even more. As you ask yourself, Alli , does it work? The answer is a simple “yes”, but then when you hear the complete explanation the answer is “no.” You may wonder why we say this, but the explanation is worth taking some time to read and learn before you put some pill into your body.

Losing weight is all about never giving up. The person that is a success at weight loss will know that in order to truly achieve weight loss success, the “diet” is never really over. The person who is only trying to lose weight by dieting is doomed to a life of either obesity or a life of yo-yo dieting. It may take a few diet attempts for a person to learn that diets basically do not work in the long haul. What we want you to think about is what your life will be like after your “diet” and you lose your 50 pounds? When you lose the 50 pounds does a bell ring and you will always be able to fit into that nice dress? Chances are you truly will not be able to lose weight for the long haul until you realize that in order to actually be a weight loss success you will have to not only lose the weight but also be able to keep that weight off for the rest of your life. Now that you know true weight loss success is for the long haul think about how that ”diet” you are planning stacks up in a year or two?

We, at IChooseThin.com, are cheap and we pretty much like to pick apart all of latest diet fads. We looked and looked for reasons why the acai berry was going to turn out to be just another flash in the pan gimmick and weight loss fad diet thing-a-magig. After minimal research we quickly discovered why that unless you are a person living in a select geographical portion of South America, you can’t get the acai berry
. The reason why we do not recommend the fresh acai berry is that it is not available to you in the first place. What a cruel twist in the world for those seeking wellness and health and trying to utilize the natural power of fruit. A virtually perfect fruit, and you can’t have any, it almost sounds Biblical!

We here at I Choose Thin have been fans of the Biggest Loser since season one. My wife and I who are on a constant battle for weight loss actually go through withdrawals when it is between seasons. Sue (my wife) really would love to train with Jillian Michaels while I would rather work with Bob Harper. As we sat on the couch watching the episodes we were always thrilled with the no nonsense approach to weight loss that was presented throughout the theme of the show. What really thrilled Sue and I was the fact that it was all done through education, exercise and dedication. This down to Earth approach was the reason we started the I Choose Thin website. Having been tired of all the weight loss nonsense and knowing we would never be on the show we were looking for an outlet of weight loss knowledge. The Biggest Loser and the team up with 24 Hour Fitness with Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels was a match made in heaven.

It was not too long ago that I was 17 years old and then just the other day I looked in the mirror and I realized I am almost 50. That may sound strange but that is really a true statement. I do not know how that person showed up in the mirror but sure enough, every time I look he is there staring back at me. It is not to say that I am unhappy it is just that it has all happened so fast that it is hard to fathom that it really has been that long.

Everybody who has ever tried a voluntary effort to lose weight has started their journey with the basic desire of wanting it to happen. If you are now over weight then the chance that you are reading this is no accident. If you are reading this then you more than likely are here because you want to make a change in your life. Wanting that change is the first step towards manifesting successful and long term weight loss. If you have been battling the bulge then you know that wanting the weight loss is more than likely not enough. If you want to achieve complete and lasting weight loss then you need to carry yourself onto the next step and that step is education. We do not mean a college degree but what we do mean is basic knowledge of how your mind and body function. Notice we started off with mind because that is where all weight loss battles are begun, waged and either won or lost.
