Are you fat? Get skinny now

When you want to lose weight, there's no miracle pill or potion that will take off the pounds or melt away the fat. The "secret" is a combination of cutting calories through healthful eating and burning those calories through increased exercise. How do you get started so you can reach your weight-loss goals without getting discouraged or falling off the wagon?

Before you start losing weight, you should get support. Whether it's a close friend with similar weight loss goals or an online weight loss program, research shows that people with support lose more weight than people trying to go it alone.

Having someone to talk to and help guide you through the ups and down of your weight loss journey can:

* Help you determine why you gained weight in the first place. Does being overweight run in your family? Do you lack adequate time to eat right and exercise? Finding the cause of your extra pounds can help prevent them from coming back.

* Help increase your activity level. Go over how many days per week you get 30 minutes or more of moderate activity. Then make a list of activities you enjoy that can get you moving. Add exercise and activity time to your calendar at least 4 days every week. Having a friend waiting for you outside to take a walk is often all it takes to motivate you to get off the sofa.

Whether it's friends, family or coworkers, when you have a strong support system in place you'll be more successful in your journey to lose weight. That is why a program like Jenny Craig works.
