Weight loss is one of the most popular New Year's resolutions,
but it can also be one of the hardest to achieve and maintain if not
approached appropriately. It is true many people lose weight each year
as part of their New Year's resolutions, but it is also true that many
of those people later gain some or all of that weight back. To make
weight loss a successful goal in the new year, weight loss should be
seen as creating a lifestyle change, rather than a temporary race to
shed pounds.
