41 Ways To Lose Your Love Handles
1. Keep a food diary (so important and yet 80% of people on a program don’t wanna do this)

4. Drink extra water everyday
5. Chicken and fish over red meat

8. Be patient
9. Visualize everyday what you wanna look and feel like. Don’t underestimate this technique. All successful people use the power of visualization
10. Use a clothes motivator like a pair of jeans that you can’t fit into right now. Take those out of the closet and hang them in a place where you can see them everyday. Ya gotta see your goals
11. Be-Do-Have
This is from a great book called “Conversations With God”…the author says in life, in order to get or give birth to what we want we have to follow the “Be-Do-Have” principle. Go read that book – it’s awesome.
