New Years Advice on Weight Loss From Arnold

                      

It is the beginning of another year and your New Years resolution to lose weight and attain your ideal figure is waiting for you to act. If you are like 90% of People, you may fail unless you take the right steps.

You can begin a New Years resolution at any time. A perfect time to honestly reevaluate the last 12 months-right along with hundreds of thousands of people around you - is the first month or two of a new year.

At the beginning of every year, people all over the planet make a very firm New Year resolution that they will lose weight, eat healthier, and start exercising.

Experts who study human behavior run the numbers on who really sticks with their resolutions. By the end of January, only about 10% of people succeed at keeping their resolutions. That means 90% of the people who made resolutions have already failed at them by the end of 30 days.

Who really wants to wait another eleven long months until to start losing weight again with one less year in their lives?

Now, you can succeed, if you follow what the successful 10% of the people do. Here are five steps that work to begin keeping your New Years resolution.

Step 1. WRITE down your resolution

When you make a resolution, put it into writing. Take a pen or pencil and put your resolution words down onto a real piece of paper. Experts find that if you don't write it down, it won't happen. A goal of any type takes shape when you write it out. Otherwise, it's just a thought that will vanish in a moment.

Step 2. Conquer Procrastination

One of the main reasons people fail at New Year's resolutions is procrastination. There is always tomorrow, they reason. Or they wait until the weather is better or "when I feel like it." The problem is tomorrow is always a day away. To lose weight, you have to take action today, even if it is a small step.

Step 3. Get Support

The right environment is very important to succeeding. Most people aren't even aware how much support affects achievement. Positive, like-minded people who want to lose weight are good companions to keep you on track when things get tough.

Step 4. Create a Detailed Plan

It is one thing to write down a goal of losing 10 or 20 pounds, another thing to actually do it. You need to make a concrete, detailed plan that outlines which foods you are going to eat; how much of them you will eat; when and how much you will exercise and so on. Anyone who makes a New Year's resolution to lose fifty pounds without writing down a detailed and specific plan for doing so is bound to fail.

Step 5. Make your Resolution SPECIFIC and MEASURABLE

Get specific about your weight loss goals. You need to define the little steps that add up to real success. Unless you can measure the results, you'll never know when you've completed a step and are ready for the next one.

Most of us have made vague types of New Year's resolutions, such as "I'm really going to get into shape." Vague resolutions never work. What kind of shape do you want to be in? How many pounds do you want to weigh? What body measurements do you want to have? How much body fat or muscle mass?
