Are you trying to lose weight or keep your weight stable- and finding it a struggle? Don’t give up- try these easy to follow tips to help you stay on track.

Top Tip 1: Break old habits and make some new ones

• Find your motivation to change- and remind yourself with a countdown calendar, a photo etc of why you want to change. Stick it on the fridge!
• Mix up your routine (one day go for a walk after lunch, the next day run in the morning, go a different way to the shops)
• Make habits healthier (replace sugary snacks with healthy alternatives, look at my blog entry about savoury energy bars)
• Make small changes, one step at a time- they are more achievable and rewarding
• Be positive about changing habits and reward yourself (not with chocolate though :)- maybe a manicure, a new running top or a DVD)
• Wait 15 min before eating, go for a quick walk beforehand, drink water
• Allow time to form new habits (at least 21 days)

Make small changes for big results!
