Lillie Sternfield: “I know I am going to succeed!”
Mrs. Sternfield has been a client for two months. She’s lost 17 inches and 18 lbs!
“When I heard the Diet Center was opening in Wilson, NC, I knew I wanted to sign up. I had tried to diet on my own and failed. Also, I had tried some of the popular diet fads with little to no success. I knew the Diet Center was the best for me because I had been a client years before. I had only been going for a few weeks and I am losing weight and feeling great! The staff at the Diet Center are always there for me anytime. Nikki has helped me with recipes that I can prepare for my whole family.“

How to stay motivated to work out after Summer is over!
Stay Motivated During Winter Exercise
You have worked all year to get in shape. ‘It could have been a New Year’s resolution that got you started. ‘When winter hits, the weather gets cold and gloomy. ‘Learn to ignore the gloom and doom and stay on track to better health.
During the warmer weather, it is easy to get physical activity. ‘We work in the garden, go for walks in the evening, bike ride with the family, and spend lots of time outdoors. When someone wants to go, we jump up and go. ‘There seems to be more energy in our steps.
The main motivation is looking good in great clothes. ‘There’s nothing wrong with that. ‘We all want to look our best for as long as we can. ‘The by-product of looking good is that we can achieve great health benefits. ‘Unfortunately, when winter rolls around, all we desire is to curl up on the couch in big sweaters and slippers. ‘It’s not cute but it’s comfortable.
Here are a few tips to help you stay motivated during the winter months. ‘To start, set a regular time to work out and stick to it. ‘You may not feel like meeting a friend at the gym for a class but you can pop in a DVD or VHS tape and sweat at home. ‘Instead of cranking up the car and braving the cold, you stayed comfortable and worked out anyway.
Talk to a friend or workout buddy even if you can’t get to the gym with them each day. ‘When the weather leads you to slouch on the couch, phone a friend and get a pep talk until you jump up on your feet and get going.
