8. One is the loneliest number

The surest way to lose weight is to eat less. So, if your Weight Watchers plan says you have 32 points, you try not to even break 30. Some days you might even try to stay within 20 to 24 points, just to be safe.

But then you also need to exercise. Try getting up early every day to hit the treadmill for at least an hour. You’re out of shape, so you won’t be able to run, but you can walk fast, say, 3.5 to 4.0 speed. And for a bit more work, increase your incline to about 4.0%.

Mornings aren’t enough though; you also need to work out in the evening. Here you can take turns alternating between yoga, weight training and pilates. And to speed things up a bit, why not take on the one hundred pushup challenge? This way you’ll be doing more pushups in twenty minutes than you’ve done in twenty years.

Try keeping this up for a week, and if you stick to it I guarantee after only 212 (out of 224) Weight Watchers points, 5 hours of treadmill, 177 pushups, 1 ½ hours of pilates, 1 hour of yoga, and 30 minutes of weight training…you’ll lose one, yes, you heard right, ONE pound.

I really just don’t understand why people aren’t raving about this surefire method.
