The Blueprint for your Resolution Success in 2010.

Every year, millions of people put losing weight on their 2010 resolution list. And every year, fewer than 10% of men and women actually lose weight.

How can you be successful? Losing weight doesn’t have to be impossible. Take a look at these ten tips and see if they can work for you.

1. Be willing to Commit to your goal. What defines a commitment? When you truly commit, you will do whatever it takes to lose weight, regardless of how you ‘feel’ about it. When you are committed, you are being true to what you stand for. Prepare to be astounded at how your commitment will carry over into your work, family and social life when you are truly commitment .

2. Write down the weight that you want to be. When you write down your goals you are giving yourself a better chance to succeed.

3. Tell the people in your life. People who let their friends and family know about their goals are more likely to succeed. The key is to make sure that the ones who know are the ones who will help you lose weight.

4. Plan your attack. Have as detailed a plan as possible how you are going to succeed in your weight loss program. Every sit down has to be planned. Know in advance how many times you will enter the gym and workout. You will do best if you have a road map to your success. Otherwise you will fall to the wayside. Create a vision of how you want to look and just work backwards from there.

5. Have an Accountability Partner. This is one step above step #2. You are doing more just getting a ‘support’ group. You are partnered with someone who will hold you to your word! This is where a professional coach can come in handy. Don’t have the money? Pick one friend or partner you can meet with a couple times a week to stay on course.

6. Focus With Reminders. Now you are ready to go. You have your action plan and your have your coach. You should have an idea how you will be eating for the next few weeks. The next step is to make sure that you are always focused on your goals. One way to do that is to have reminders. Remind yourself to lose weight. Post it stickers can work. You can have your reminders as a card in place them in your purse of Wallet. Try using a blackberry or cell phone. Make sure that what you do works best for you.

7. Be True to Yourself! If you are making the same goal time and time again and you are not achieving your fat loss goal, then you have to ask yourself some serious questions. What will make this year different? Be honest with you and ask your self if this goal is truly realistic. Maybe it’s a goal you think that you should have, but you are really doing it for someone else.
