Make a plan and set some goals
Create a plan for what you’re going to do, how often you’re going to do it and who you’re going to do it with. Try to frame your goals around sticking to the plan, not the results you hope to achieve. For example, it’s better to set a goal to walk for half an hour five days a week than to set a goal of losing two pounds a week. You can control how often you walk, but you can’t as easily control how fast the pounds will fall off.
