Three Keys to Lasting Weight Loss

We know. We sometimes sound like a broken record. But some things are worth repeating (and repeating and repeating). The following three points are what the folks we know who are successful in keeping their weight off do on a REGULAR BASIS.

1. Write Everything Down. Yep, everything. Everything you eat and all the exercises you do (think about wearing a pedometer to help increase activity awareness) and maybe even those moments that make you proud.

2. Exercise. Don’t think of it as having to do 30-, 40- or 60-minute cardio death routines. On those days you just can’t fit in a scheduled workout, you can accrue activity through simple actions such as parking farther away, taking a walk during lunchtime and taking the steps instead of the elevator. The idea is to get moving and keep moving consistently.

3. Find support. It always helps to be surrounded by people who support you, but it’s even better to be with people who are going through something similar. It’s elevating and helpful to find out over and over that you’re not in this alone. Especially during those times when it feels like you are.
