• Set realistic goals. Don't try to lose too much weight too quickly. Aim to lose 1-2 pounds per week, which is a healthy and sustainable rate of weight loss.
• Make gradual changes to your lifestyle. Don't try to overhaul your entire diet and exercise routine overnight. Start by making small changes, such as eating one more serving of fruit or vegetables each day or adding a 30-minute walk to your daily routine.
• Find an accountability partner. Having someone to support you on your journey can make a big difference. Find a friend, family member, or colleague who is also trying to lose weight and check in with each other regularly.
• Don't get discouraged. Weight loss is a journey, and there will be setbacks along the way. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results immediately. Just keep at it and you will eventually reach your goals.
