Achieving healthy weight loss isn’t about a “diet” or “program” but a lifestyle with healthy eating patterns, regular physical activity, and stress management. Medications taken for other conditions may also make it harder to lose weight. Talk with your healthcare provider if you are concerned about your weight or have questions about your medications.

When you’re trying to lose weight, it’s natural to want it to happen very quickly. But people with gradual and steady weight loss (about 1 to 2 pounds per week) are more likely to keep the weight off.

Once you’ve achieved a healthy weight, rely on healthy eating and physical activity to help maintain health over the long term.

Losing weight isn’t easy, and it takes commitment. Creating a supportive environment, both physically and with the people in your life, can help you achieve your goals.

Even modest weight loss can mean big benefits

Even a modest weight loss of 5% to 10% of your total body weight is likely to produce health benefits, such as improvements in blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and blood sugars.¹

For example, if you weigh 200 pounds, a 5% weight loss is 10 pounds, bringing your weight down to 190 pounds. While this weight may still be in the “overweight” or “obesity” range, this modest weight loss can decrease your risk for chronic diseases related to obesity.

So even if the overall goal seems large, see it as a journey rather than a final destination. You’ll learn new eating and physical activity habits to help you live healthier. These habits can help you maintain your weight loss over time.
