You Didn't Lose Weight Over The Summer, There's Always Now

According to the CDC, 49-percent of us had a lofty goal of losing 20 pounds before summer arrived. At one to two pounds a week, that plan takes up to ten weeks. If you didn’t reach your goal, the CDC says all isn’t lost. The agency says you could turn your summer plan into a holiday one. Health experts say cold weather makes your body work harder which makes weight loss easier.

How much physical activity you need depends partly on whether you are trying to maintain your weight or lose weight. Walking is often a good way to add more physical activity to your lifestyle.

Managing your weight contributes to good health now and as you age. In contrast, people who have obesity, compared to those with a healthy weight, are at increased risk for many serious diseases and health conditions.
