Following these 7 easy steps will get you 7 steps closer to a better you. We know you're probably thinking, "All I need is 7 steps;" but these 7 small steps can make a major impact. So stop looking for that one quick-fix weight loss secret. Sometimes it's the small things that make the difference. These 7 simple tips together can make that difference.

1. Drink more water. Did you know that our bodies hold over 70% of water? Your body knows when it's not getting enough water, and it will try and preserve as much of it as possible. The best way to get rid of that extra water is to drink more.

2. Laugh a lot. Sometimes gaining weight can cause us to be so down and sad, that we lose our funny bones and get annoyed fairly easily. Research has shown that when you laugh, you can lose weight easier than those who choose not to.

3. Find a workout buddy. Research shows that you are more likely to keep to a workout plan if you're doing the activity with a friend. Select a person who is serious about making a change for the coming year.

4. Diet programs can help. There are many people buying diet plans such as medifast.com, and even more couples are joining every day, so they can encourage each other on their goals to losing weight. Diet programs have very nutritious foods that are clinically proven, and also delivered to your front door.

5. SEX, SEX, SEX. Should I elaborate? Girls, if you want to include your man in on your workout plan, you definitely have to try this technique.

6. Visit the shopping mall. Walking has proven to be the easiest, most affordable and convenient form of exercise for all ages. But why walk in the heat or the cold. Take a day trip to your nearest shopping mall and stroll through all the stores you've avoided while in a holiday rush.

7. Don't quit until you win. There is only one way to eat an elephant and that is one bite at a time. Take these small steps toward a new and improved you for the New Year. - 15438
