Better quality of life

3 ways to jumpstart weight loss

Here are three simple ways to kickstart your weight loss journey:

1. Create weight and lifestyle goals

What are your goals for weight loss? Choose a weight that places you in a healthy body mass index (BMI) category. Your target weight might be your lowest adult weight or a weight you’ve felt your best at. A healthy and sustainable weight loss goal is to lose about 1-2 pounds weekly.

Setting and tracking goals helps boost accountability and your chance of a successful outcome. You can also set goals for sleep, exercise, stress, water intake, hours spent on stress-reduction, and more.

2. Track your lifestyle habits

Studies suggest that tracking your diet, exercise, sleep, and other lifestyle habits is an effective weight loss strategy. Use a journal or app to track calories, macronutrients, minutes of physical activity, hours of sleep, water intake, and stress levels.

Show us the results to learn simple strategies that maximize healthy habits for successful weight management.

3. Consider weight loss medications

If healthy lifestyle habits haven’t helped you achieve your target weight, our Creekside Wellness experts may suggest prescription weight loss medications.

These injections are highly effective for quick weight loss by reducing your appetite and food cravings. They also aid in blood sugar control and complement healthy lifestyle habits to achieve long-lasting success.

Additional wellness options

As you begin losing weight, consider additional options to boost wellness, feel more energized, look younger, and gain confidence.

At Creekside Wellness, we offer laser resurfacing, microneedling, Botox®, and dermal fillers. We also provide intravenous (IV) therapy, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), vitamin supplements, and more. We customize a plan that optimizes your well-being.
