- Setting unrealistic
goals: Most studies suggest that
a reasonable goal is to try losing
10 percent of your current body
weight, then try to maintain that
loss before trying to lose more.
- Losing weight
too fast: The general rule is
the faster you lose, the faster
you'll gain it back.
- Getting frustrated:
The rule of thumb is that during
the first three weeks, you're
going to lose a higher rate of
weight and then it's going to
slow down. That's normal.
- Obsessing
about the scale: It's a big mistake
to only use the scale - it's more
important to consider how you're
feeling and how your clothes are
fitting.
