Weeks 4 to 5
Guidelines:
Eating late at night also forces your body to use its energy on digestion,. One of the primary functions of sleep is to help you recuperate from the day. You want your body to be as relaxed as possible so you can wake up energized.

Weeks 5 to 6
Guidelines:
Try and drink 8 cups of water per day. If a person is dehydrated their body compensates by retaining excess water as a protective measure. This alone is responsible for some excess weight. As well, a dehydrated person's metabolism is significantly lower than a normally hydrated person. So drink tons of water - it's so good for you!

Weeks 6 to 7
Guidelines:
There’s a reason why people exercise to their favorite music – listening to external stimulus takes your mind off of the physical activity. That’s the secret to making “exercise time” fly. If you’re concentrating on what your body is doing, the session is going to drag on for what will seem like days. So get that stereo or mp3 player pumping and rock out!

Weeks 7 to 8
Guidelines:
You can lose 50 pounds in a week if you work out 12 hours a day and eat nothing but celery – but not if you’re human. Slow and steady wins the race. Don’t bite off more than you can chew – literally. Make small goals on your way to the bigger goal(s). In the end, you’ll have achieved more (and more frequently, might I add).

Weeks 8 to 9
Guidelines:
Whether you choose to weigh yourself once a day or once a week, do it at the same time of day. If you decide to weigh yourself every single day, understand that your weight will fluctuate by one or two pounds – and that you should only keep a serious eye on the lengthier trends.

Weeks 9 to 10
Guidelines:
I occasionally post my weight loss results in my facebook status (especially when I've done a good job!). I love to hear all of the "keep up the good work!" and "way to go!" comments. Let your family and friends know that you are trying to lose weight...I'm sure they will be a great encouragement to you.

Weeks 10 to 11
Guidelines:
Sure, your sandwich would taste amazing with an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise… but do you really need it? Rather, is it more important for you to reach your weight loss goal quicker – or have this sandwich taste marginally better? What’ll happen the next time you’re faced with this decision – will you cave again? It’s a slippery slope; don’t lose sight of what’s most important to you.
