One of the biggest mistakes folks make with a weight-loss program is not recording their diet, their workouts, and their progress.
I absolutely demand that my clients record (1) their daily meals and calories, (2) their sets, reps, and weights from each workout, and (3) their weight and other body measurements.
If you do those three things, you will succeed. And for maximum success, you should be making yourself accountable to others by sharing this information with them.
I know that sounds painful, but if you want improvement, you have to lay it on the line. Soliciting social support, both online and offline in the “real world,” is a proven way to get help with your weight-loss efforts.
Just be careful who you share your progress with. You must share it only with people who are going to support you in a positive way.
[Ed. Note: Online support can be very helpful when it comes to reaching your weight-loss goals. Share your weight-loss struggles, diet and exercise techniques, and encouragement for free right here.
