Don’t set your self up for failure. When you are trying to lose weight / burn fat always set realistic goals. You will be able to lose and maintain your weight off by taking it step by step. Remember, if you are trying to make a change on a short period of time, keep in mind that it has taken you years to be at the weight you are at this moment. Don’t say “I want to lose 15 pounds in one month.” Start by making small changes; If you made one change a day, by the end of the month you’ll have made around 30.
