Find Social Support

To stay motivated, people want regular support and positive feedback. Inform your close relatives and friends about your weight-loss objectives so that they can support you along the way.

Finding a weight-loss buddy is also helpful for many people. You can work out together and motivate each other along the way. Also, think about joining a support group. Participants in a weight-reduction program with friends, according to one research, performed a better job of maintaining their weight loss. Six months after the programs ended, two-thirds of those who registered with friends had sustained their weight loss. Only a quarter of those who visited on their own had the same level of success. Support groups, both in-person and online, have been shown to be effective.
