weight loss and time of year

It is very interesting that people's concentration on their weight loss efforts wax and wane depending on the season. Most certainly, after the Christmas New Years holidays, many people focus on their "New Years Resolution" to lose weight. During the holidays most people are thinking about the holiday events and not concentrating on their efforts.

The early and late spring are very wild months in our office becaiuse many people feel an urgency to lose weight prior to summer/weight loss season. June, with graduations, vacations starting etc is a month of lesser activity.

Take a step back and see whether YOU have a seasonal basis to your weight loss/weight gain cycles and figure out a way to NOT let this seasonal variation occur to you. We have discussed previously the "5 pound rule" meaning that every week, reord your weight and if you ever see 5 pounds cumulatively go back on from when you left our program, come back in for one visit as a "tune-up" Not very costly and will stop the cycle of the weight loss/weight gain. We are also offering a very unique maintenance program that includes free visits so contact us for more details.

Losing weight is very difficult and seasonal contributions can affect your progress. Be cognizant of them and act on them!
