Goddess at the Diet Oasis

The Weight Loss Calendar

If you are on a diet, or contemplating weight loss, one of the questions you may ponder is, "How long is this going to take me to accomplish?"  

The amount of weight that you need to lose should affect the way that you approach weight loss.  

The Weight Loss Goddess offers the following suggestions to help making losing weight easier to attain by using a sensible thought process:

Dieter A - Has 5-25 pounds to lose.  Dieter A should plan reaching their weight loss goal by thinking of the time as days rather than weeks. "I lost 15 pounds in thirty days" sounds much more appealing than "I lost 15 pounds in a month," doesn't it?

Dieter B - Has 26-50 pounds to lose.  Dieter B should plan reaching their weight loss goal by thinking of the time as weeks rather than months.  

Dieter C - Has 51-100 pounds to lose.  Dieter C should plan reaching their weight loss goal by thinking of the time as weeks rather than months.  "I lost 50 pounds in 25 weeks," sounds pretty good!

Dieter D - Has over 100 pounds to lose.  Dieter D should plan reaching their weight loss goal by thinking of the time as months rather than years.  I've known some individuals who have dropped over 150 pounds in 12 months.  

Even if an individual has 300 or more pounds to drop, it can be accomplished.  The sooner the diet is started, the sooner the dieter will reach their weight loss goal.

As a note, before you embark on a diet plan, always get approval from your doctor first.  However you plan your weight loss window, be sure and stick to your plan.

Quitters never win!
