Developing healthy habits is the key to losing weight and getting fitter forever. It is about doing positive things and learning new good habits rather than a diet which focuses on all the things you shouldn't be eating. For instance focus on going for a daily walk and being happy doing it, rather than staring at the cupboard wishing you could have a biscuit but your diet says no. Then if you do feel like eating something after your walk it is fine as you have been doing exercise.

To find out more about healthy habits read Fit & Happy's article 'Developing Healthy Habits for Weight Loss'. It's easy when you know how.

Join a fitness class that you enjoy and have people to support you losing weight. It can be difficult going for a run yourself if you are feeling a bit tired or out of sorts, but if you go along to a class there will be someone to encourage you and probably make you smile and laugh. Once you get in the habit of going you will miss it if you don't go.

You may have to try a few different types of class before you find the one you love but there will be one that makes you feel good. Anything that makes you move is good from yoga and pilates to kickboxing and boot camp. The ladies above are enjoying Fit & Happy's fun outdoor boot camp in Edinburgh. Nobody will shout at you. It is all about having fun, being encouraged and getting fitter and happier.

Employing a personal trainer can be the ideal way to lose weight. A good personal trainer will listen to what you want to achieve, set you some achievable goals and then work with you to achieve your goals. They will be encouraging and helpful at all times.
