The key to losing weight is to understand what really drives you to do so. Have you ever been excited about losing a few pounds? If so, you must find a way to turn that excitement into determination.
Ask questions. When you're researching different dieting products and plans or even talking to a doctor about diets, ask as many questions as you can. Ask questions like: Do I have to buy special meals or supplements? Does the program include a part to help me maintain my weight loss?
Get real. Losing one to two pounds a week is a realistic goal. Remember, large amounts of weight loss are not realistic and are most likely not safe or healthy. Talk with your health care professional to determine a healthy weight goal.
Stay balanced. Just 30 minutes of fast walking in most days can take about 10 pounds off your weight each year.
It's important to track your weight, but don't get on the scale every day. Weighing daily won't show you the big picture. Once a week is fine.
