You are not alone

Are you fighting a losing battle trying to get motivated to lose weight? Many people won't achieve their weight loss goals because they can't figure out how to get themselves motivated enough to stick to their resolutions.
 
You probably already know many tips on how to get motivated but harnessing your will power and keeping motivation high is a different story.
 
Just start! The hardest part is starting. Can you walk 5 minutes a day? DO THAT! Just get moving. Pretty soon you'll find that you can add more time & find more ways to add in more calorie burning activities to your day.
 
Set yourself up for success. Instead of relying solely on will power, create an envoronment that works for you instead of against you. Find some healthy buddies to hang out with. Clear your cupboards with healthy treats. Place inspiring quotes where you can see them. Take time to reflect on how you are feeling and where you are at. Hire a coach to keep you accountable!
 
Making small, achievable goals help to keep you motivated and stay on track. If you are an "all or nothing" person, breaking your goal down into "baby steps" to get you to where you want to be could be the right answer. Are you willing to try this if the way you've been doing things isn't really working?

A good way to get started is to take one or two things you want to change and focus on that for a month. Once that becomes a habit, add a couple of more the following month. After just a few rounds, you'll notice major improvements in your health & well being.
Doesn't this sound like something you could do?
