Set a goal or a list of what you want to achieve this year; make it positive and be realistic. It could be 'within 3 months I will lose 2 dress sizes,' or 'by spring I will be able to go for a jog around the block with my children.'

Never write what you don't want, always what you DO want. Have your goals printed out on the fridge, in your handbag, on the back of the loo door and read them constantly. The more often you read them the more you will put your efforts and energies into achieving them!

Once your goal is set, treat it like a promise. It may be to lose weight yes, but rather than focusing on the scales how about focusing on a new dress size?

The scales can play with our heads so ditch them and use how you feel when you look in the mirror and your clothes are your best indicator of fat loss.

It's important to remember that weight encompasses not just fat, but muscle as well. You want to lose fat but not muscle - which will keep your metabolism revved right up and burning calories.

For every pound of fat on your body, you will burn one calorie at rest whereas every pound of muscle burns around 50 at rest.
