Getting the weight off—and keeping it off—is a slow process, Green says. Watching the number on a scale can be depressing. Plus, if you're focused on losing a set number of pounds in a specific amount of time, missing that goal can wreck your motivation. "Some people are just born bigger, and they won't be able to lose a lot of weight without taking unhealthy, unsustainable measures when it comes to diet or exercise," Green adds. For those reasons, she says losing weight should be a secondary benefit to your overall health gains—not your primary goal.
Train your attention on how you feel, advises Michelle Steinke, founder of One Fit Widow. Steinke rededicated herself to health and lost 80 pounds after the tragic death of her husband. When you're physically active, you have more energy and you feel better about yourself, she says. "Enjoy the sensations of being active and strong," Green says. Instead of feeling like you're suffering through some kind of weight-loss boot camp, you'll actually relish the time you spend exercising.
If you set the bar too high, you're setting yourself up for failure, says Dyan Tsiumis, founder of GET FIERCE Training in New York. Tsiumis, who once weighed 190 pounds, dropped more than 70 lbs from her petite frame. "I often have my clients start by drinking two liters of water every day for a month," she says. "They're amazed at how good they feel." By starting with modest goals, you can avoid the pitfalls of burnout or the debilitating repercussions of missing your targets.
"If you aren’t comfortable with your workout space, you won't exercise," Tsiumis says. Green believes feeling comfortable with your trainer is equally important. "Trainers who aren't used to working with overweight clients will often recommend exercise or programs that aren't right for their clients' bodies, and can even be painful," Green says. In the beginning, exercising at home or walking in your neighborhood may remove some of the anxiety of working out in a typical gym setting. Finding a workout buddy or a support community online is another great way to make exercise more inviting, Green says.

Scheduling your day ahead of time makes it easier to stick to your goals, Steinke says. "Start every day or every week by putting your schedule in order, and make training or exercise a non-negotiable part of that schedule," she advises. "I have an alarm that goes off three times a day," Tsiumis says. "They're reminders for those times when I know I'll need them—when I'm hungry and might slip, or tired and might skip a workout, or I just need a little inspiration."

One last thing… you should try this 10-second “morning trigger” that burns up to 2 pounds of belly fat per day…
“All this by a 10-second morning trigger?” I asked.
I met an old friend for lunch last month and I was super impressed with how good she looked.
She said, “It’s not so much about the morning trigger, but more about how they help raise your body’s low core temperature to dramatically increase your fat burning metabolism and improve your health and appearance.”
Even though I was skeptical, I’ve been struggling with my weight over the last few years, so I gave it a shot and watched the same video she did.
Well, it’s only a couple weeks later and you know what they say about how “you can’t transform your body overnight”…
They’re right — it actually took me 19 days to lose 24 pounds.
Now it’s my girlfriends asking ME what I’M doing differently
Imagine waking up every morning full of energy and loving what you see in the mirror…

And imagine feeling good and living your life without obsessing about every single calorie you eat…
All while knowing your health is being protected by one of the most powerful natural healing rituals ever discovered.
