1. Set Clear, Realistic Goals

Set a weekly goal, like losing 1-2 pounds, which research shows is both safe and achievable. Instead of aiming for a massive calorie deficit, focus on eating less and moving more each day.

Actions:

• Write down one main goal for the week. Start small, like walking 15 minutes daily or drinking water before meals. Write it where you’ll see it daily, like a sticky note on the fridge or a note on your phone.
• Review and adjust each week. Reflect on your progress weekly and celebrate small wins. Adjust your goal as needed based on what you learned from the previous week.

2. Prioritize Nutrition

Eating nutrient-dense foods helps you feel full and energized. Aim to make meals that balance lean proteins, healthy fats, and fresh vegetables. For example, try a grilled chicken salad or a Skinny Blend Protein shake with spinach and berries.

Actions:

• Plan meals with simple ingredient swaps. Try swapping chips for baby carrots or adding Skinny Blend Protein to smoothies for an easy breakfast boost. (Find Skinny Blend here)
• Set up a snack station. Prepare healthy options like Greek yogurt, nuts, or sliced vegetables to make choosing a healthy snack easier.

3. Pick Enjoyable Physical Activities

Choose activities that you’ll look forward to, whether it’s brisk walking, dance, yoga, or home workouts. Starting with activities you enjoy makes consistency more achievable.

Actions:

• Try one new activity this week. Pick something you’ve been curious about, like a YouTube workout, a dance class, or a brisk walk after dinner.
• Schedule a workout buddy or accountability check-in. Having someone to join you can make it more fun and keep you on track. A quick text or post-workout selfie can keep you accountable!

4. Track Your Progress Beyond the Scale

Weight is just one metric; tracking energy levels, sleep, and mood can give a fuller picture of your progress. Notice how healthier habits make you feel better day to day.

Actions:

• Keep a daily “feeling log.” Jot down any positive changes, like increased energy or better sleep, so you can track non-scale victories.
• Take weekly photos or measure with clothing. Sometimes a pair of jeans or weekly photo can tell you more about progress than a scale can. These small measures help you see changes you might otherwise miss.

To help you track and monitor yourself, The Skinny Jane Weight Loss Plans come with a built-in system that makes it easy!

5. Stay Hydrated and Prioritize Sleep

Good hydration and sleep can improve energy and metabolism. Aim for at least eight glasses of water daily and aim for 7–8 hours of sleep each night.

Actions:

• Set water reminders. Use a water-tracking app or set reminders on your phone to stay hydrated consistently. Even adding a slice of lemon or cucumber can make water more refreshing.
• Get a reusable container and fill it with water first thing every morning and keep it with you all day. 
• Create a sleep routine. Set an alarm for bedtime to remind yourself to wind down. Try dimming lights or reading a book as part of your pre-sleep routine to get better rest.
