Lose Weight and Gain Energy

Tip #10: Do not become a slave to the scale

Though it is normal to lose one or two pounds a week on a successful exercise program, monitoring your athletic performance can keep your eyes on what really matters: overall fitness! Aiming for improvements in strength, speed, flexibility and blood pressure can make losing weight, and keeping it off, that much easier.

  1. I personally can attest to this. This is why a program like Weight Watchers didn't work for me .... the weekly weigh-ins felt like such a pass or fail deal. Just focusing on the fitness end of things and using how my clothes fit really helped me lose 50 lbs this year!
