Want to know how to lose weight at Christmas? <\/p>\n

It is completely cruel for New Year to come right after Christmas. That\u2019s why I have put together a \u2018Beginners Guide Lose Weight At Christmas\u2019. You\u2019ll find 5 easy steps to achieving your goals and heading into the new year with the right\u00a0mindset.<\/p>\n

Lose weight the right way!<\/p>\n

Counting Calories\u00a0At\u00a0Christmas\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s the truth,\u00a0Christmas is a period of joy, mince pies and cold dark evenings inviting us to laze on the sofa.\u00a0Not when we start counting our calories as well as our steps.\u00a0All the festive treats are incredibly tempting, and we often feel that we have been given a free pass to indulge. It is, after all a punishable crime to count Christmas calories. So\u00a0we enjoy ourselves ignoring the\u00a0Damoclean\u00a0sword of New Year hanging above our heads (right next to the mistletoe).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

And then bang! New Year hits us with the almost compulsory New Year\u2019s resolution to get fit and lose weight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Realistic\u00a0New Year\u2019s Resolutions\u00a0<\/h3>\n

You can\u2019t imagine the massive crowds that pour into gyms every January.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

My training buddy always says: \u201cDon\u2019t worry, they will all be gone by the end of February and the gym will be ours again.\u201d It is a sad but a true fact. Most New Year\u2019s resolutions will not be kept, and will be long forgotten by Easter. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Having said that, I believe that if you make your resolution sustainable and have a little bit of dedication, you can totally stick to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The majority of\u00a0New Year\u2019s resolutions are about getting healthy, fit and lose weight.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I myself have not always been slim and toned. Yes, I have tried some \u201cmiraculous\u201d fast weight loss methods, but they are not sustainable. That is if they work in the first place. <\/p>\n

So here are my personal weight-loss tips that worked for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
