Many people strive to lose weight at the beginning of the year.

They strive to accomplish goals they have dreamed of for years, and hope to achieve a size they haven't been in for years.

Since it's been so long since you've been at the weight you hope to be, I want to give you some insight into the journey.

1 You are going to face some resistance from family members, friends, or spouses. Don't get me wrong, they will be supportive, but often only to a point. If you start losing "too much" weight, you will either start hearing comments, find offering you all the wrong food, or asking you to skip your workouts. It may be one person or several people, but be prepared.

2 Some people just won't take you seriously. Maybe you have been down this road before and failed, but some will just believe you are going through your normal weight loss/weight gain cycle. You may not always have the support you need, but you do need to persevere through it. Have a personal trainer or a supportive friend/family member to get you through the tough times.
