Got a Lot to Lose?

Learning to recognize and changing the habits that made you fat in the first place is key to getting the weight off. The unhealthy behaviors that caused you to gain weight - using food to soothe emotions, not exercising, giving in to cravings - have to stop. You must practice replacing these behaviors with healthier ones.

Having patience with your body and with the scale is key, too. The old adage that you didn't gain the weight overnight, nor will it come off overnight, is true. You can expect to lose 1 to 1.5 percent of your weight per week, which amounts to 12-18 pounds per month.
