Dedication & How To Keep On Track
This weight loss plan is simple and easy to implement. However, it is still important to have dedication. Without dedication, it is easy to lose track of your goals. Losing track of your goals usually starts with skipping one or two days of your workout. This gets you into the habit of not staying on task. Each day you skip makes it more likely you will skip another day. Eventually, this can lead to giving up on your weight loss plan. However, staying dedicated will develop persistence to stay on task. You have to simply keep focused on what is important to you. Keep your goals in mind at all times. The more you keep your goals in mind, the easier it becomes to stick to your weight loss plan and get the results you want.

Small goals don't require significant lifestyle changes, but they keep you on track long enough to see results. By implementing a light workout and making a slight change to your diet, you can easily lose 30 pounds in 6 months.
