If you want to lose weight, then you’ll need to create a caloric deficit. In other words, you have to burn more calories than you consume. The size of this deficit will determine how quickly you lost weight.

I mentioned about a week ago that I had starting tracking my weight online with PhysicsDiet. At that time, however, I didn’t have enough data to post a meaningful chart. Now I do, so here it is…
Earlier this week, I created an account on PhysicsDiet.com. In case you’re not familiar with PhysicsDiet, it’s a great (and free!) charting tool for tracking your weight loss progress online. I’ve only been using it for a few days, but so far I’m impressed.
As I write this, there are two mozzarella sticks sitting in the kitchen. My wife made them as a treat for the kids this evening, and boy do they look good. Amazingly, I haven’t eaten them, and I’m not planning on doing so.
A few weeks ago, I alluded to the fact that I’d soon be writing more about my health and fitness goals for 2010. Well, that time has come, and I’ve decided that I’m just going to focus one one goal for this year…
In case you haven’t noticed, Americans are fat. The good news is that it seems like the obesity rate in this country has leveled off after several decades of steady increases. The bad news? Well…
Have you ever rationalized eating a bunch of crappy food because you can simply work a bit harder at the gym to burn it off? If so, then perhaps you should read on. While it’s true that an increase in exercise can offset an increase in caloric intake, it’s not as easy as it sounds.
I just ran across an interesting article on obesity, smoking, and life expectancy in the Annals of Internal Medicine. It’s a few years old now, but the results are pretty eye-opening, especially if you’ve been struggling with your weight.
Wii Fit burst onto the scene back in May 2008. In the time since then, it’s sold millions of copies, but… Does it actually work? I mean, is it really effective when it comes to improving fitness? Can it help you lose weight? Or is it just a fun gimmick?
I’m 6′5″ and far from what I would consider “fat.” Nonetheless, I could stand to lose a few pounds, so I thought that it was high time that I formalized a goal. My approach thus far has been to simply focus on leading a healthier lifestyle, figuring that weight loss will be a byproduct of any changes that I make.
