Tony Dean and his family lost a combined 500 pounds by supporting each other every step of the way. Here, he shares some simple strategies to dropping pounds as a group.
Go Team!
Get a group of people together who share your goal of losing weight and getting healthy—family, friends, coworkers.
Check In
Pick a partner to check in with daily. Being accountable will help both of you stick with the changes you’re making.
Weigh In
Host weekly weigh-ins for the team. Aim for the same day and time every week. Weigh-ins maintain accountability and build team spirit.
Get Fit
Regular exercise is a must. Don’t feel comfortable at the gym? Bring a teammate along to exercise with you. Working out together helps boost motivation and confidence.
Share Your Success
E-mail notes and photos showing your progress. Celebrate successes together—a group hike or spa day, anyone?
