The benefits of regular exercise on your physical health are tremendous.

Regular exercise is also one of the top predictors of whether or not someone will maintain their weight after weight loss.
In this week’s lesson, we’re going to discuss Why Is Exercise Important..
Losing weight can be difficult for a number of reasons, such as genetics, metabolism, illnesses, medications, personal behaviors, and psychological aspects to name just a few. Often times, they may have contributed to our weight gain in the first place. These issues will need to be addressed throughout the process of weight loss and weight maintenance. Focusing on what you’re able to change and accepting what you cannot will help you achieve long-term success both mentally and physically.
In this week’s lesson, we’re going to discuss What Makes Weight Loss so DIFFICULT.

What makes maintaining weight loss so difficult? FOLLOWING THROUGH with behavior changes! Changes in our behavior are mandatory for maintaining long-term weight loss.

A healthy relationship with SELF is necessary to have a healthy relationship with food.
In this week’s lesson, we’re going to discuss What Makes Weight Maintenance Even More Difficult.

HOPING you’ll lose weight, WISHING you’d lose weight, and PROMISING that you’ll lose weight won’t result in weight loss.

Set yourself up for success by DOING the things required to get your weight off and keep it off using AIMS.
In this week’s lesson, we’re going to discuss Setting Yourself Up for Success: Using AIMS.

In this week’s lesson, we’re going to discuss Motivation vs. Habit.

When you set healthy goals, they need to be RELEVANT and attainable. This means, asking yourself why do you want to lose weight now?

Set yourself up to win by setting goals which are relevant to you and those you’re able to achieve.
In this week’s lesson, we’re going to discuss Mindset Matters: How to Set Healthy Goals.

Everyone knows that exercise is an important component of weight loss, but what type of exercise will provide the best results? Most people believe cardio should be the primary focus over strength training. But, is this correct? Strength training improves the shape/tone of the body, increases longevity, and helps to avoid decreases in our metabolism by maintaining muscle.
In this week’s lesson, we’re going to discuss Strength Training.
Motivation is the set of forces that “activates, guides and maintains our behaviors in order to meet a goal.” Wishing, hoping, wanting and thinking about losing weight is not motivation. Motivation propels you into action and doing what’s necessary for weight loss and weight maintenance.

Hello and welcome back to Path to Success Online. In this video, we will tackle what it means to truly have a “balanced diet.”
Cardiovascular exercise, or commonly referred to as cardio, is any form of exercise that involves the major muscle groups and increases the heart rate for a period of time. Regular cardio is obviously helpful for overall health and weight loss, but vital for weight maintenance. One of the most important ways to maintain weight loss is establishing a strong regular exercise routine. Look for a form of cardio you’re able to stick with long-term as well as enjoy.
In this week’s lesson, we’re going to discuss Cardio.
When emotions build up over time, there can be some serious damage to our lives both mentally and physically. Unresolved feelings can result in depression, anxiety, low self-confidence, and living with an overall sense that “I’m not good enough.” Food can be a way to soothe those unpleasant thoughts and feelings. This kind of emotional eating can obviously lead to poor self-worth and ultimately weight gain.
In this week’s lesson, we’re going to discuss Cleaning Out the Emotional Closet.

Healthy, clear, direct communication is something that we seem to struggle with as a society. Many people beat around the bush, rather than saying what they really think or feel. They remain silent to avoid confrontation… the reality with that is most people do not want to experience their own discomfort by speaking up. The basis of healthy communication is to share your honest thoughts, feelings, and observations in a thoughtful way, without expecting that others will necessarily agree with you or see things the same way as you do.
In this week’s lesson, we’re going to discuss Communicating Clearly.

Almost everyone is familiar with the term “Emotional Eating,” and many of us have engaged in our own emotional eating from time to time.

Baby and wedding showers, birthday celebrations and sporting events can be difficult environments in which to remain on track.

In this week’s lesson, we’re going to discuss Interval Training.
Mindfulness is “the psychological process of bringing one's attention to experiences occurring in the present moment.” In other words, being mindful means being present. Paying attention to what you are thinking, how you are feeling, and what you are experiencing at that moment. At that moment – wherever you’re at – What are you thinking about? Are you focusing on what you are listening to and watching? Or is you mind wandering. Are you aware of how you are feeling? Happy? Relaxed? Scared? Anxious? What’s on your mind?
In this week’s lesson, we’re going to discuss Mindfulness and Mindful Eating.
