Before you Begin Your Journey

1. Know Your "Why"

Write down all the reasons you want to lose weight. Keep them where you'll see them daily. Motivation comes from within, so focus on your personal goals, not just what others expect.

2. Keep It Real

Set achievable goals - like losing 1-2 pounds per week. Small wins add up. Dropping even 5% of your weight can make a big difference in your health and confidence.

3. Commit to Yourself

Invest in your goals. Whether it's gym membership, a fitness class, or an app with reminders, putting skin in the game makes you more likely to stay consistent.

4. Find What Fits Your Life

Ditch extreme diets. Instead, tweak your habits: eat smaller portions, cut back on snacks, and add more fruits and veggies. Make a plan you can actually stick to.

5. Make Exercise Fun

Exercise isn't a chore if you love it. Explore different activities until you find your thing, whether it's group classes, solo workouts, or dancing in your living room. Bonus tip: pair your workouts with music to boost your mood and stamina.

6. Find a Role Model

Look for inspiration from someone who's successfully lost weight. Whether it's a friend, an online story, or a blog, seeing others' journeys can light your fire.

During Your Weight Loss Journey

7. Focus on the Process

Instead of obsessing over your end goal, set action-oriented milestones. For example: "Exercise 4 times a week" or "Add a veggie to every meal." These wins keep you motivated.

8. Keep a Journal

Track what you eat, your workouts, and how you feel. It's not just about calories; understanding your triggers and progress helps you stay on course.

9. Celebrate Wins (Big and Small)

Hit a milestone? Treat yourself - but skip the food rewards. Buy new workout gear, plan a fun outing, or pamper yourself. Make your victories feel special.

10. Get a Support Squad

Share your goals with friends or family. Find a workout buddy or join an online community. Accountability and encouragement make all the difference.

11. Talk Yourself Up

Replace negative-self talk with positive affirmations. Instead of "I'll never lose weight" try "I'm making progress every day." Words shape actions so use them wisely.

12. Plan for Setbacks

Life happens. Stress, parties, or holidays might throw you off track. Have a plan: bring a healthy dish to events, research menus ahead of time, or schedule stress-busting activities like walks or deep breathing.

13. Forgive Yourself

Nobody's perfect. Slip-ups are part of the process. Instead of spiraling, learn from them and keep moving forward. Progress, not perfection, is the goal.

14. Appreciate Your Body

Love the skin you're in. Celebrate what your body can do and surround yourself with positivity. Wear clothes that make you feel good and affirm your strengths daily.

Other Tips to Keep You Going

15. Walk a Dog (Yours or Someone Else's)

Dogs make great workout buddies. Studies show owning or walking a dog increases daily steps and improves overall health. No dog? Borrow a friend's!

16. Get Professional Help

If you're struggling, don't go it alone. A dietitian, professional trainer, or therapist can provide the tools and accountability you need to succeed.

Remember This

Weight loss isn't just about the scale. It's about a healthier, happier you. Stay consistent, celebrate progress, and enjoy the ride. You've got this!

Every night, I make a to-do list for the next day. It’s old-school, but there’s something deeply satisfying about crossing off tasks as I go. The list keeps me focused and productive, even in retirement, where time seems to slip by faster than when I was working.

Do I always finish everything? Nope. But at day’s end, I reassess. If I’m overloading myself, I tweak the list to make it more realistic. This daily ritual keeps me on track with my goals—whether it’s eating healthy, staying active, or maintaining my weight loss.

The secret? A simple list helps turn intention into action. Try it—because nothing feels better than crossing off a win!
