• Consult with a healthcare professional to determine a healthy weight range for you.
• Set specific, measurable, and achievable goals (e.g., losing 1-2 pounds per week).
• Identify your “why” – what motivates you to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

• Eat a balanced diet consisting of whole foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
• Keep track of your daily caloric intake using a food diary or mobile app.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
• Limit your intake of sugary drinks, processed snacks, and saturated fats.

• Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week (e.g., brisk walking, cycling, or swimming).
• Incorporate strength training exercises into your routine (e.g., weightlifting or bodyweight exercises).
• Find activities you enjoy and make them a part of your daily routine (e.g., dancing, hiking, or team sports).
• Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for added variety and calorie burn.

• Manage stress through relaxation techniques (e.g., deep breathing, meditation, or yoga).
• Seek support from friends, family, or a weight loss support group.
• Be patient and persistent – weight loss takes time and effort.
