You are motivated to make lifestyle changes to improve your health and maybe lose some of the weight that's been creeping up over the last decade. Whether you're considering signing up for our weight loss program or have already scheduled your first appointment with a nutritionist, waiting to get started on your weight loss can feel like being in limbo. You want to make progress NOW, but ... how to begin a weight loss journey?

While some of you may be counting down the days until your weight loss program begins, and others are still exploring your options, there's no need to wait to begin making positive changes that lead to sustainable weight loss. That extra weight didn't appear overnight, and making sustainable changes that last the rest of your life starts with building a strong foundation.

Here are some essential first steps you can take today to kick start your successful and lasting weight loss:

Tip #1: Drink water.

Even if everything else in your routine remains the same, drinking enough water will support metabolism and can help you lose weight.

We recommend aiming for about half your body weight in ounces of water every day; for most people, that’s 75 oz or more. How close are you to that goal right now? By focusing on water as your beverage of choice, you may naturally eliminate many drinks that slow metabolism or contribute to dehydration.
