Create a workout routine you enjoy!
When you are working toward your weight-loss or healthy nutrition goals, it’s important to create an exercise routine that works best for you. Medifast Blogger The Unemployed Mom has found that developing a daily routine makes it easier for her to accomplish her workout goal—and that could be helpful to you, too! The Unemployed Mom says, “I feel energized, and I’m able to keep up with my very active six-year-old son! An added bonus is fitting back into my smaller clothes. We go to the park regularly now and play sports together, and I run laps around the track. While this is not my ideal running situation (I love running through neighborhoods and along the lakes near my home), it is working!” The Unemployed Mom attributes her success in sticking to her exercise routines to her enjoyment of them.

Get camera friendly!
Medifast Blogger Blogging Mom of 4’s tip this week is to get camera friendly! Take before and after pictures and use them as both a motivator and a healthy reminder that you’re working hard to get where you want to be. She has found that taking pictures of her progress keeps her goals and successes in mind, even if the scale doesn’t always keep up. Blogging Mom of 4 says, “There are so many things that can derail us from our goals. We need motivation to get us through. And a picture can do that, especially if you look at before and after pictures. We sometimes can miss just how much weight we’ve lost or toning we have done. It helps to be able to see it in pictures. It can be motivational or a kick in the pants to get us moving again.” To see her weight-loss journey, follow http://bloggingmomof4.com.
Have a strong support system!
Weight loss can be difficult when you go it alone, but with Medifast, you don’t have to! Using Medifast’s support system—composed of applications, dashboards, food journals, other Medifast members, and our dietician—Medifast Blogger Displaced Yinzer has found success! She says, “One thing I’ve really learned these past two weeks is how important a good support system is! Along with my Medifast Dietician, whom I speak with a few times a week, I’ve made a great friend in another blogger who is on the same journey. She has been great at sharing her feelings and progress with me—and has even offered some great recipes to try!” Having a support system makes your weight-loss journey more obtainable and less stressful.
