Use Your Social Network to Loose Weight

There are so many devices available to you today to stay connected, why not use them to help you succeed? Who would have thought that your social network could help you loose weight. Your social network may consist of your cell phone, including texting, app's and access to Twitter, Facebook, and the internet.

Check out these ideas to increase your weight loss:

1. Studies have shown that when individuals on a weight loss plan text their daily weight and food intake to friends or a weight loss sponsor that they become accountable for their food intake. Acknowledging what you are taking in can help you become conscious of your food patterns. Do you eat when you are hungry or when you are tired and upset?
2. Start a weight loss challenge with your friends, family or even at work. Research shows that working or competing with others will help to fire up the motivation to loose those extra pounds.
3. Eat with others when possible. Studies show that when you eat with others, especially in a pleasant atmosphere people tend to eat less.
4. Online wight loss communities, these unique and powerful communities consist of forums to chat with others in the same boat, or gain momentum by chatting with other weight loss individuals who have already succeeded in their weight loss goals.
