Losing weight definitely can feel impossible at times. At the beginning of a weight loss journey it is easy to be enthusiastic, but after a few days or weeks you can lose motivation. Some people are successful at weight loss. How do they take it off and not gain it back? What is their secret to success?

Draw up detailed goals to make losing weight easier. Do you have an idea of how much weight you would like to lose? Is it your goal to slide into a new pair of jeans that are several sizes smaller, or just feel more svelte in the clothes you already wear? Is your goal to be in better shape or gain energy?

Keeping a record of your weight loss via a diary can help you motivate yourself to sticking to your weight loss plan. You should try writing down everything you eat in a diary. To be sure that you are eating calories within a healthy range count up the totals at the end of each day. Recording weekly progress on your weight in this journal will help you stay focused. For even more motivation, add statistics and graphs that show how much you have accomplished.

It's a fact, you will eat at some point today! Figure out what you are going to eat before you get too famished. Be prepared to face your hunger head on and in a healthy way throughout the day. Take some healthy things to eat or pack your lunch when you go to work or leave the house. Imagine how much money you can save by not dining out. Success is easy when you make plans and stick to them.

A weight loss plan that incorporates both diet and exercise is best. Schedule fun work out activities a few times every week. Finding the exercises that you enjoy will help you push past those old excuses about not having enough time. Maybe you like chilling with your friends. Shoot some hoops with them! Is letting your hair down something that you enjoy doing? Learn some new moves in a dance class. Are you more comfortable with nature? Hit those hiking trails!

You might realize this, but it's worth saying: if you don't have any junk food in the house, you won't be tempted to eat it. Make sure that you only have healthy foods in your kitchen. These include foods like fresh produce, nuts and foods made with whole grain. Don't buy the food that is not good for you. Don't even buy it when you are at the grocery store! Consider adding yacon to your diet.

Reach out to your friends and family to support you during your weight loss efforts. You are more likely to stick to your plans when someone else is rooting for you. Being responsible for regularly reporting your progress to someone can prevent you from giving up. Calling a trusted friend can provide encouragement whenever you need it. They will help give you the support to allow you to go on.
