Having the right mindset is the most important factor in your weight loss. You should use this to channelize your energies in the right direction. There will definitely be days when you want to indulge in just about everything unhealthy but with the right mindset you can always come back on track.

I find this quote by Swami Vivekananda very inspirational, “Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced.”

Lets start -

1. Be very clear on why do you want to loose weight.
It could be any reason, you want to look great & get sexy body, get rid of pregnancy fat, want to get healthy, no more plus size sections for you.

2. Throw away your past failures and inhibitions.
Past bad experiences are like detractors, they pull you down. Past is past. Act wisely in present for a lovely future.

3. Be open about your weight loss to people.
Tell your friends & family about your plan rather than shying away and lying. This always helps when you are in a party, over to a friend’s place for lunch/dinner, team lunches etc.

4. Sketch out a plan & stick to it.
Set your goal for example goal weight, goal size, goal inches. Have mini milestones to reach your goal. Treat yourself when you reach your milestones like a book you wanted to buy, shoes, Ipod etc. Reward yourself for your hard work !

5. Maintain Logs.
Its very important to monitor your progress and see the numbers. Its very motivational for you to stay on track if you are doing good or a good indicator if something is going wrong.

6. Pick a time & day of the week for weighing.
Weigh in every week at one time & register your weight. Your body weight fluctuates during the day so its best not to be obsessive about weighing everyday. Similarly measure your inches if your goal is specifically to decrease your waistline, reduce your flabby arms etc.

I think these are some important points to always keep in mind when you are on a healthy plan to reduce or maintain weight.
