Right here and right now – that is what the Weight Wise initiative is about – giving you a starting point to help you change your life and improve your health.
Use the Weight Wise resources and tools to start you off by making a plan to eat better and move more often. Set yourself SMART goals to make this lifestyle change easier. SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Rewarding, and have a Timeframe.
It is important to set goals, because they give you something to work towards, a way to achieve success, and keep you motivated along the way. By achieving a balance of being more physically active and eating good nutrition, you will find that your goal for improved health through weight management is easier than you think.
