By Dorthy Weatherbush

New Year, New You! No worries if you've had one too many plates this holiday season; here are 7 awesome tips that will certainly get rid of those unwanted holiday pounds, and lucky for you, just in time for Valentine's Day. 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 water. Our bodies are naturally about 70% water. If the body is lacking a sufficient amount of water, it will try to do whatever it takes to hold what water it does have. Drinking more water is the way to do away with that excess water.

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. Don't work out solo. Many studies show that you will more than likely follow through with your work out goals, if you have someone else working out with you. Be sure to find a friend, or someone who is serious about following the workout plan and reaching goals for weight-loss.

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. Go shopping at the mall. Walking has long been hailed the safest, easiest, most affordable way of exercising. However, you don't have to walk in uncomfortable weather conditions. Go to the mall nearest your house or job and cruise through your favorite stores, just don't go near the food court!

7. Don't stop until you're done. There is only one way to finish the race and that is one step at a time. Take these tiny steps toward a new and better you for the New Year. - 15438
