The following article from eDiets entitled “25 Biggest Weight-Loss Mistakes” got me thinking about how I succeeded in losing 42 kilos plus last time on my diet and fitness kick and how I’m going to do it again.

To succeed in weight loss, the article (written by Julia Havey), mentions that the worse thing is “not having a plan.”

Not having a plan. Leaving your actions up to chance in life is never a good idea. “We never plan to fail, we fail to plan.” Get a plan and stick with it, but make sure each step is realistic and change is gradual!

I totally agree, the only time that you can succeed in weight loss and in improving your fitness, is by having a plan of what you are going to eat and what exercise you are going to daily. Once you have that plan, you need to stick to it! What’s the point of doing all the planning, if you can’t motivate yourself to abide by it and push through it?

There’s a lot of other great tips mentioned in the article, but this one here is one I religiously stick by to ensure I succeed onwards and upwards.

Sure, you can have your moments where you go off and be a little naughty, but the key is to get back on your plan and keep moving forward!
