Tips from a pro for weight loss success (StatePoint) Los- ing weight is often an idea rather than an undertaking, suggests a recent Gallup Poll, which found that while 51 percent of adults want to shed pounds off their frame, on- ly 25 percent say they are serious- ly working toward that goal. "With so ma- ny trendy diets ad- vertised, identify- ing accurate and in- sightful information is one of the biggest hurdles for many would-be dieters," says Carrie Elkins, division manag- er for Jenny Craig, who leads a team of expert consultants who have been pro- viding weight loss and healthy eat- ing advice for more than 35 years. "Many looking to lose weight begin their chosen pro- grams with good intentions, but when push comes to shove, they have trouble staying mo- tivated and quit before their goals are reached." Having access to a combined team of experts who spend their days help- ing others achieve their weight loss goals, Elkins is well-positioned to share key tips for success: • Define your "why": Identify- ing why you want to lose weight can provide the necessary inspiration you need to help you get started and stay focused. Write these reasons down and post them somewhere handy for a boost of encouragement, such as by your running shoes or on the refrig- erator. • Make it easy: You'll be more like- ly to succeed if you select a weight loss program that doesn't pile on stress to an already hectic routine. For exam- ple, with Jenny Craig, a week's worth of meals can be delivered at once to your home, saving you time you'd otherwise spend in the grocery store and plan- ning and preparing meals. Such pro- grams can also take out the guesswork of losing weight, eliminating the often- arduous task of evaluating meals for calorie count and nutritional balance. • Join a community: To stay ac- countable, gather or join a group of those committed to your success. Don't be afraid to share your journey with friends, family and even social media followers. Research published in the Journal of the American Med- ical Association discovered that indi- viduals who follow structured weight loss programs that include support are more likely to be successful. Take the concept one step further by looking for weight loss programs that offer ongo- ing expert guidance and critical sup- port. One such program, Jenny Craig, includes one-on-one customized sup- port from dedicated consultants who help them stay focused, learn healthy eating habits, talk through challeng- es and track progress. • Don't let plateaus sidetrack you: Weight loss plateaus are common and, unfortunately, often lead to trying drastic and unsustainable options — like dropping calorie intake. This can cause people to boomerang, or worse, give up entirely. The scale is only one marker of improved health, so if the number isn't budging, don't despair — stick to your plan and evaluate healthy ways to push through the plateau. • Don't yield to "quick fixes": While juice cleanses and diets like ke- to seem to be all the rage, remember that such quick fixes can be extreme- ly hard to maintain. For long-term re- sults, commit to a sustainable regimen that allows you to have options, make amendments and feel flexible in your schedule.

Experts say that you can make reaching a weight loss goal easier by selecting a program that fits your life- style, and seeking out support that keeps you accountable.
