Long Term Weight Loss and Fitness Success

In order to have long term success in weight loss and fitness, short term goals are a must. But some people stress out way too much about their short term goals. One way, or sometimes the only way they judge their progress is by weighing themselves. The mistake that most people make is that they weigh themselves way to frequently. The stress of that activity can cause hormones to be released that actually negatively affect your weight. I recommend that you only weigh yourself every week. In addition, I recommend that you judge your progress by other means as well, such as measurements, how your clothes feel, and how you look in the mirror or in pictures. This will alleviate the importance that you put on what numbers show up on the scale and will actually give you a better overall idea of where your are in relation to your weight loss and fitness goals.
