More Ways to Kick-Start Your Progress
Find an accomplice
Having a weight-loss "partner," who can keep you on track, is crucial. Join a challenge on the Message Boards for daily check-ins where you can share food and exercise tips. Or ask a friend, family member or colleague.
Be aware
Healthier eating becomes habitual, but you still need to maintain a heightened awareness of what you're eating. Use your Plan Manager to stay on top of your eating habits and weigh in at each meeting to see how you're doing. Track your weight loss using the Weight Tracker and Progress Charts.
Be communicative
Bring up any problems that you feel may derail you to people you feel comfortable sharing your experiences with. Sometimes others can help you make sense of what's going on. Discuss challenging strategies on the Message Boards.
Keep track
Tracking your food intake is crucial. Try writing down what you eat and drink every day. The amounts may surprise you!
