Your mission if you choose to do so, is to lose weight, set a plan in action and become healthy while enjoying yourself. You will need to enlist your friends, relatives and co-workers in this weight loss plan. This tape will self-destruct in ten seconds. Are you ready to lose weight?

Here is your course of action:

1.
Determine how long it will take you to lose your desired amount of weight. Set realistic, down to earth goals. Anything worth it in this life, takes a long time to attain, and that goes for losing weight and becoming healthy, as well.

2.
Set weekly weight loss goals. Do not weigh yourself every day; you will become depressed because weight usually doesn't fluctuate much from day to day. But in seven days time you will see better results.

3.
Go grocery shopping on a full stomach for healthy foods only such as celery, low-fat yogurt, cereal, soymilk, fresh fruits and veggies. Buy lean meats such as chicken, and fish. Do not go grocery shopping on an empty stomach, you will buy everything you see and smell that way. Go grocery shopping after you have eaten. Stick to a pre-made list. Buy healthy foods you have already planned to eat.

4.Plan your meals for everyday. Plan what you will eat for every meal every day. Plan a seven -day meal action plan. Make your meals the night before work. Pack a lunch, so you can avoid the fattening stuff at work, or near your office. Place a healthy snack in your lunch bag. Switch from coffee with sugar and milk to a flavored tea.

5.Get all of the junk food out of the house. Junk food is bad! Don't buy anymore. Throw it out. Let someone else eat it all. You can have snacks, but try tasty trial mix instead. Eat cereal as a snack. Eat an apple or a banana, or an orange instead of potato chips.

6.Drink eight glasses of water a day. Drinking plenty of water aids your digestion, and also fills your stomach. You will feel fuller and less hungry. Make your water taste better by adding a slice of lemon, or an orange to it.

7.Exercise daily. Go for walks. While exercising drink water. This will hydrate your body. It will also make your stomach feel fuller. Exercise everyday to get rid of fat, and to make yourself, fit and strong. Even if you don't work out, go for a daily walk outside, or at the mall, or at a fitness club. Increase the length of your walk every week.

8.Do not give into the temptation of eating all those office goodies. When someone has a birthday or a kind-hearted person gets a cake, or the person who buys doughnuts
