When you start thinking about New Year, New You, you might start thinking about all kinds of changes you could make to hit your health and weight loss goals in 2015. Since all of these changes can get overwhelming, it’s helpful to pinpoint a single change to focus on. Which one change can you make to help you reach your goals?

• Eat more Protein. I’ll make sure to choose it first at most meals.
• Log my food – every bite!
• Stop munching and nibbling – eat only at meals and Snacks that I’ve planned.
• Get rid of the junk food that has crept back in my diet since I first got weight loss surgery and followed the weight loss surgery diet.
• Exercise more consistently.
• Drink more Water (or other calorie-free beverages).
• Other – read my answer in the discussion below!

Select your answer, then tell us about it in the discussion below. We want to know how you’re going to reach your goals this year!

I've got to stop the evening grazing and be more intentional about when and what I'm going to have. This means not starting out the evening in a deficit mode and having to catch up on protein and calories, because then it's too easy to go too far. Also if I have a cocktail I am more likely to lower my guard and revert to old habits, like looking for food.

Ensure that I increase my protein my goal is to get 100 ounces of protein so that I can build muscle and continue to reach my goal by my 1 year anniversary .

I am getting close to my goal for my 1 year anniversary and I am eating enough Protein but my biggest issues are my Water intake and consistently exercising.

I am making excuses everyday and haven't been in the gym or working out in over 3 weeks. No weight gained, but no weight lost either.

I'm below goal and have easily maintained within a 4 pound bounce range for almost 5 months, so my eating habits seem pretty spot on. But I have never implemented any sort of exercise program since having surgery. I find "working out" boring and my job and normal lifestyle keeps me pretty active. But I just got a Fitbit One and will try and start simple just by increasing my steps each day. The dogs have been big fans of the new hiking/snowshoeing/skiing regimen the last couple weekends.

I'm also doing well for the most part with the food aspect. I'm never going to be a fan of exercise so I do my best to get to the pool two or three times a week and I consider that a goal met. But Water....oh my. I so need to drink more water. I often drink less than two bottles and I know I should be drinking twice that. I drink coffee instead and I know that's not a good thing. I just recently got the flavor drops and I've found that helps so I hope by adding flavor, I'll drink more water this year. I know my intestines and colon will thank me...

I have increase my protein to 95-100 grams per day I have always done great with getting in my water and protein and exercise 5 times a week at the gym , I'm looking forward to hitting my goal and I have 65?pounds to lose to hit my goal. But I'm loving life and love wearing my dress and high heel shoes again .

Increase exercise somehow. So far I've added steps at work. Walking up and down flights at work every few hours. I'm up to 12 flights a day.
