-Create accountability for yourself—try keeping a journal to keep track of the food and calories you are eating each day.
-Hire a personal trainer—I started going to one at my gym, 24 Hour Fitness. Who better to invest in than yourself?
-Find support from a network of people who are also living a healthy life. I found mine in my boyfriend and coworkers, as they were either dieting right along with me, or at least working on living a healthier lifestyle.
-Find an exercise buddy—it not only keeps you motivated but also makes exercising more fun!
-Take your own photos (front, side, back) monthly because sometimes you see progress in those pictures that you won’t see on the scale or tape measure.
-Set small weight-loss goals for yourself—it makes the whole process much less overwhelming!
-Tell everyone you know that you are trying to lose weight and get healthy. This kept me accountable during the tough times.
