I personally think making your weight loss public with the help of a support group can definitely help prevent that slip-up. @Leo - Having a support group is critical as is thinking positive. Thanks for the thoughts. @Asad - True, focusing on how you feel can help. However, some people will quit and won't or do not inherently push themselves. So, for those people, objective metrics can help them. Great thoughts though. How do we get those who need to read these types of articles reading them? @Chris – I agree, it’s very easy for everyone to fall back into their old patterns.

BMI and weighing machines can be deceptive as they don't focus on your fat loss. Poor numbers can lead to poor motivation. So focus more on how you feel, listen to your body. I agree with everything else in the article. Ignore the hype and get back to basics. Very simply put, do some activity that you enjoy, and eat the correct balance of food groups. The only problem is getting the people who need to read articles like this, to actually read them. The hype's been winning for a long time. It's time for a complete change of attitude, and it starts here. Good luck. I think the monitoring should be more about how you feel, rather than the numbers.

They are so gung-ho when they first start, but give up when the weight doesn't come off as fast as they think it should. They fall back into their old eating patterns as well as quitting their exercise programs. I think people give up to quickly on their weight loss programs.
