Let’s face it; diets are incredibly boring and it’s hard to stay motivated long enough to make much difference. Hardly surprising when you consider that most diets are long on depressing lists of tempting stuff you can’t have, but short on excitement and inspiration. So how do you make sure you look and feel great by Christmas?

 

Everyone knows the importance of staying focussed on a compelling goal when you’re trying to achieve something, that’s one of the reasons why the Weight Loss Resources Christmas Challenge has proved so effective over the last few years. Here are a few more to ensure your success this year:

 

 

The chance to win £1000 or £100 to spend on clothes will enlist the help of your imagination (what will you wear to that important Christmas event when you’re 2 sizes smaller?)


An instant network of like-minded people to cheer you on and give support


Food and exercise diary tools with no depressing lists so it’s easier for you to stick to


A weekly email from dietitian Juliette Kellow with ideas and tips to keep you inspired


You can try it out free for 24 hours, and everyone who meets the challenge gets a Christmas Challenge tape measure


 

All you have to do to meet the challenge is join Weight Loss Resources and post news of your progress on the Christmas Challenge message board once a week, for seven weeks. That’s long enough for you to lose a stone and drop a dress (or trouser) size or two.

 

Start now by imagining the bedazzled looks from friends and family – especially those who haven’t seen you for a while! Then start a free trial to get going. If you decide you want to complete the challenge, you'll need to join WLR as a full member.
