Women who want to lose weight need look no further! The weight loss solution for women is simple and it won't cause you one dime. The weight loss industry is one of the most profitable in the United States, and it is no wonder why.

With more than 60 percent of women in the United States being overweight according to 2007 estimates of National Center for Health Statistics of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the majority of women in the U.S. are seeking to lose more than a few extra pounds! Fad diets are particularly attractive to women as they are new, exciting, and promise fast and easy results. Unfortunately, permanent weight loss is neither fast nor easy for most women.

Women know that we lose weight differently than men.

Our food metabolizes more slowly and we have a natural propensity to store body fat. We also know that we do not have hours a day to devote to weight loss.

Why, then, do women get sucked into diet plans that are created by (and for) men or those who spend their lives devoted to exercise? The weight loss solution for women is to eat less and to exercise more. It sounds simplistic because it is, but the execution is much more complex than the plan.

The first steps in any woman's weight loss plan is to develop a strategy for losing weight. Women must ask themselves the following questions:

How much do I weigh?

How much should I weigh?

How much can I realistically expect to lose each week until I reach my goal?

The next step is to learn about portions and to begin practicing portion control. No expensive self-help books must be purchased and no calorie calculating tools are necessary; women must simply read the serving sizes on packaged products and use their existing measuring tools to determine appropriate amounts.

Most women will be surprised and even discouraged to learn how small the serving sizes are, but after time the body will become accustomed to the smaller portions. In order to be successful in a weight loss program, women must begin to exercise. Walking is an excellent exercise for women of all shapes, sizes, and ages.

For those who have never exercised before or haven't exercised in a very long time, walking can be the best step to beginning a fitness routine.

Eventually, women should incorporate light weight training and heavier cardiovascular exercise into their fitness programs as well, but this does not have to happen immediately.

The goal is not to overdo and burn yourself out: the goal is to become healthy for the rest of your life. Lastly, the most important ingredient to weight loss success for any woman is to keep at it.

It is very easy to become discouraged, especially when constantly faced by excessively skinny models and actresses, or when the scale doesn't seem to budge.

If you start to feel like giving up, just remember why you are losing the weight: you want to feel better, you want to look better, and you want to set a good, healthy example for those around you.
