Top New Year’s Weight Loss Resolution Goals!

What’s the single most important thing in our lives? Is it that new flashy car you want to buy, the promotion you've been promised any day, or the luxury travel you indulge in every vacation? No, it’s your health. Without your health, you’d more than likely be unable to enjoy any of those things, right? Well here are 5 Weight Loss resolutions that all aim to make you healthier, happier and more productive. Remember, in order for things to work physically, you have to be emotionally, mentally and spiritually dedicated to making it happen.


  1. I want to lose weight and become slimmer.
To accomplish this goal, you want to focus your attention on the task of losing weight. Think of what you will gain by accomplishing this goal. You’re going to be slimmer, you’re going to be healthier and have more energy, you’re going to enjoy life more, you’re going to feel more attractive and...you have a better chance of living longer.
In order to begin on this goal, grab a pen and paper and write down the following:
I am going to lose the weight and become slimmer (specify your ideal size after losing the excess weight)’
You’ll be surprised at how much losing just a few pounds will affect you. You’re going to feel healthier, lighter, and your mood will turn a few shades brighter because you have accomplished something you set your mind to and didn’t give up.
  1. Build Your Body / Muscles
Perhaps you think your weight is OK as it is, but you want to tone up your body. As a result, your body shape will improve and this in turn affects you positively age-wise and rejuvenates the body.
In order to begin on this goal, grab a pen and paper and write down the following:
I am going to do everything I can to shape my body and tighten my muscles, including regular exercise!’
  1. I will exercise regularly.
You can’t expect to lose weight effectively without seeing the means to accomplish it. Today, it’s all about taking smaller steps that will lead you in the direction of becoming a healthier, slimmer and happier individual. The first step is exercising more frequently.
Exercise is great because it not only helps you lose the weight, but it also helps moves the blood around your body, allowing more oxygen to flow and generally keep you in better health. Also, you will have more energy throughout the day and be able to sleep better at night.
In order to begin on this goal, grab a pen and paper and write down the following:
No excuses and no two ways about it, I WILL exercise more!’
  1. Eat healthier.
Did you know that 2 out of 3 people in the North America do not eat well? What are your current eating habits like? To eat well means eating a balance of the right kinds of food.
Eating well will help you to naturally lose weight, improve your overall mood, and increase your energy levels. Yes, by simply eating well you’ll be accomplishing many of your goals.
In order to begin on this goal, grab a pen and paper and write down the following:
No excuses and no two ways about it, I WILL eat more healthily!’
  1. Drink more water!
Shocking as it is, 90% of the world’s population do not drink enough water. This is probably the easiest health resolution on your list and you can start improving it from right NOW!
In order to stay in good health, and lose weight effectively, you need to stay rehydrated. Remember: water isn’t the large soda you drank in front of the TV!
In order to begin on this goal, grab a pen and paper and write down the following:

No excuses and no two ways about it, I WILL drink more water starting from now!’
