7 tips for successful weight loss
1.The desire to lose weight must come from the individual. If you're ambivalent about
making changes in your lifestyle or are doing this to please someone else, you're
likely to fail.
2.Don't blame yourself if you aren't perfect. If you once fail at your attempt to curtail
your overeating, it doesn't mean you are a failure at weight control and that you should
just give up. Accept that you made a poor choice, but don't let that poor choice
influence the rest of your plan.
3.Avoid surroundings where you know you're tempted to make poor food choices-
whether it's the morning coffee break or after-work gathering with friends. Try to plan
other activities or distractions for those times, or plan in advance how you're going to
handle them and stick to it.
4.Surround yourself with people who support your efforts. Spend time with those
people who will not pressure you to make poor food choices.

5.Decide on some nonfood rewards for yourself when you reach interim
goals.
6.Stock your pantry and refrigerator with healthy foods. Get rid of the
high-calorie, low-nutrition snacks like chips and candy. Have plenty of
healthier options available. Curb hunger and manage weight with
Herbalife's guilt-free snacks. They’re packed with protein and flavor to
keep you satisfied, yet low in calories. Enjoy peanut butter and chocolate
bars or oven-roasted soy nuts as part of your ShapeWorks® program.
7.Set small goals and focus on these rather than the "big picture."
Decide where you want to be in a week or in a month, rather than
focusing on the total amount of weight you'd like to lose.
