Ask for Encouragement
Enlist the help, support and encouragement of friends and family. Better still, if you know someone else who’s trying to lose weight, make them your weight loss buddy and rely on each other to stay motivated and focused.

When you talk about your goals, they become more real and having a point of accountability can help you follow through on your goals. You can also sign up with an online weight-loss community where you can interact with others who are trying to lose weight via e-mail, forums and discussion boards.
