Tips for staying on track
- Be realistic. A weight loss of one to two pounds a week is the typical recommendation. Although that may seem like a slow pace for weight loss, it’s more likely to help you maintain your weight loss for the long term.
- Remember that one pound (0.45 kilogram) of fat contains 3,500 calories. So to lose one pound a week, you need to burn 500 more calories than you eat each day (500 calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories).
- Mini goals. Set short goals. Look at your calendar and see if there is a special occasion or activity coming up. Keep it a short period of time, like no more than three weeks out. There is something so motivating to continue toward the long-term goal when yo see lots of small wins along the way!
- Add healthy habits like increasing fruits and veggies into your daily meal planning. Amp up your water intake and include a morning walk.
- Reduce unhealthy habits that sabotage your achievement goal. Remove or cut back on sweet, sugary foods by substituting fruits or veggies for unhealthy snacks.
- Become more physically active.
- Reward your hard work! Even the small achievements. That’s why I like to set mini-goals. Just the knowledge I have hit a short milestone is great encouragement reminding me I am that much closer to the bigger goal. For longer rewards, you might get a manicure or pedicure. Go to on an outing with friend, purchase a book or item you have been wanting. Just make sure your rewards are healthy ones that won’t interfere with your progress.
- When you slip up or the going gets tough, write down all the reasons you started. Remember there are many ups and downs when striving to reach a long-term goal. When you have setbacks, you will need support and encouragement. Remember why you started your weight-loss journey. And if your method of motivation is no longer working, don’t give up—it’s simply time to find a new way to motivate yourself.

I love this pretty dessert. It looks so extravagant but if made using sugar-free Jell-O and light whipped topping, it is a lovely, low-calorie treat. To make it easier, don’t bother with the tilted layers. Just use your regular custard cups or small bowls. 🙂
