Most people set unrealistic weight-loss goals, usually around 30% of
total body weight. When these aren't achieved, the disappointment makes
the task harder. Try this weight loss checklist to keep you focused on
losing weight and getting healthier:

1. Keep body weight stable. The first goal is to prevent further
weight gain
2. Identify a realistic goal. A successful weight-loss program will
lead to a loss of more than 5% of initial weight.
3. Set yourself other health goals. A weight loss of 5 to 15% will
reduce the risks of most disorders associated with obesity like high
cholesterol and blood pressure, and diabetes.
4. When choosing a "diet" think of it as "a new menu for life". Most
fad diets will result in only short-term weight loss.
5. Remember it's a balance. Losing weight relies on self-belief,
motivation and the support of family and friends.
6. Maintaining a healthy weight is a life-long commitment. Believe
in yourself, be realistic and you will achieve your goal
