The Best Day to "Start" Your Weight Loss Program

Many of us have had great plans to begin a new diet, right? We say, let's begin on January 1st - New Year's Resolution... or, we say, "Next Monday I'll start."

Well, many have studied this and found that it is harder to stick to your new plan faithfully when your weekly "weigh-in" day is MONDAY. You may do well all week then comes the weekend. Though you may finally have some relaxation time, the weekends can become quite long and difficult to stay focused on eating healthy. The next thing you know, you've cheated (more than once) and Monday morning has rolled around - "D-day"! It's time to weigh in. Now the scales show that you stayed the same or possibly even went UP. How depressing! Then you start your week down-trodden and before you know it you've completely given up on this whole diet thing.

Try something NEW... Pick you "weigh-in" day as FRIDAY! I have been doing this successfully for the past year now. It has allowed me to have the weekdays at the end leading directly into "weigh-in" day. Weekdays tend to be easier days to stay focused on the plan. So, Friday morning comes, you weigh in... and, have a successful reading - your weight actually goes DOWN. This then encourages you to stay focused throughout the weekend! And, if for some reason, you cheat a bit over the weekend, you still have 4 weekdays to stay back on track before "weigh-in" day rolls around again.

So, this time... start your new weight loss plan on FRIDAY!!! And... Good Luck!
