5 TIPS

BE

PATIENT

Weight loss takes time and worrying that you’re not

getting good enough results is not going to make

losing weight any easier. In fact, stressing over it will

actually increase cortisol levels, causing you to gain

weight. Just continue to track your calories, eat

healthy, and exercise.

BE

REALISTIC

If you are expecting to lose 10 pounds in your first

week, you may be setting yourself up for

disappointment. Make sure your goals are attainable

and realistic for YOU. Try starting with smaller goals

and work up. Not sure how to goal set? Find a

provider who can help you.

BE

POSITIVE

Always speak positive words to yourself to affirm that

you are on the right path. Negativity becomes a

downward spiral very quickly. Try to surround yourself

with people who are supportive of your efforts and can

lift you up when you're feeling down. Find online

communities with other dieters to vent to and celebrate

with.

REMEMBER

YOUR WHY

Why did you do this to begin with? Is it your health?

Don't want to be tired all the time? Want to feel

comfortable in a swimsuit? Want to be a good role

model for your kids? Whatever your reasons are for

losing weight, they are important. Remember why you

made this commitment and allow that to drive you

forward, even when it's hard.

CHALLENGE

YOURSELF

Maybe your progress is stalling because you're

plateauing. Or maybe you are becoming bored with your

routine. Find ways to change things up and make

working out fun. Find a salsa class or try hot yoga. Go

hard at every work out. Ran 20 minutes last week? Go for

25 minutes this week. Any way you can push yourself

will support your progress.
