What’s the #1 thing that inspires people to lose weight? How good they’ll feel afterward? Buying new clothes? Feeling less self-conscious? Nope… According to a survey of 2,000 women trying to lose weight, the #1 thing that inspires people is: Seeing before-and-after photos online! The survey was conducted by Slimming World, which is a weight-loss organization. They found 70% of the women surveyed were inspired by things they saw on social media – from workout videos, to seeing other people who’ve transformed their bodies, to following fitness influencers who share motivational tips every day. But the #1 source of inspiration was before-and-after transformation photos. 91% of the women who used social media said before-and-after photos helped them realize it’s possible to reach their goals. The Slimming World survey also found that people trying to lose weight love the positive community they can find on social media. 87% of the women surveyed said that being part of a group going through the same thing helped them stay accountable. 

Before-and-after photos… Powerful inspiration.

Make sure your goals aren’t too hard OR too easy. Psychologist Loretta Breuning says when a challenge is too hard, we feel less reason to try. Because it seems almost impossible. But if it’s too easy, we feel no sense of reward when we accomplish it. But if you can achieve a goal with just enough effort, like increasing exercise by walking around the block every morning, you’ll be more motivated to keep going. Because realistic objectives inspire us the most.

Go to the gym anyway. Research found you’re 70% more likely to exercise if you just see other people working out. Think of it as exercise peer pressure. Because seeing other people exercising can subliminally inspire you to be more active! That’s why it’s good to hit the gym during peak hours – so you have the best chance of seeing others being physically active.

Tuesday
. Or at least that’s the day we’re most likely to “fitness brag” on social media. And getting in a workout on a Tuesday is a good idea. Exercise psychologist Dr. Michelle Cleere says a workout early in the week can inspire you to keep it up. But if we don’t get a workout in by Wednesday, we’re more likely to blow off fitness for the entire week.

If you have a little patch of yard, or even a window box, you can grow your own veggies! Just pick up a tomato plant, or a strawberry plant – or seeds for peppers or squash. They’re easy to tend and grow fast. And they’ll provide super-powered produce all year long.

Plus, when we grow our own fruits and vegetables, we’re inspired to eat more of them.
