A Weight Management Plan That Works
As you start your weight management plan, remember that weight loss doesn't happen overnight. Take one step at a time.

1. Get Started
First, try to see yourself differently. There's a new, healthier you waiting to break through. Go ahead–you can do it.

2. Know How Much to Lose
Find out what your weight range should be by using a weight table or formula. Then, set your target weight-loss goal.

3. Keep Records
Record your eating and activity habits to help determine your present patterns. Keeping records can also help you chart your weight loss.

4. Substitute Behavior
Once you recognize your old patterns, you can substitute new, positive behaviors for your old, unwanted ones. A good place to start is by passing up those high-fat snacks. Try a bike ride instead.
