By Dorthy Weatherbush

The New Year is one of the best times to turn over a new leaf. Like most of us, we've eaten a little too much for the holidays, but we have 7 great tips on how to shed those mean holiday pounds, in the nick of time for Valentine's Day!! These 7 tips will give you the best present you've ever gotten this season. Although there are only a few tips, they'll take you to a body you've never seen before. There's no need to keep searching for that one special weight loss secret. These little suggestions will definitely make a difference. Each of these 7 steps together will give you results that you can definitely SEE!

1. Increase your water intake. All of our bodies are over 70% water. If your body is not getting enough water, it will do everything to keep what it does have. The one and only way to get rid of excess water weight is by drinking more of it.

2. Laugh a lot. Sometimes gaining weight can cause us to be so down and sad, that we lose our funny bones and get annoyed fairly easily. Research has shown that when you laugh, you can lose weight easier than those who choose not to.

3. Don't work out solo. Many studies show that you will more than likely follow through with your work out goals, if you have someone else working out with you. Be sure to find a friend, or someone who is serious about following the workout plan and reaching goals for weight-loss.

4. Diet programs can help. There are many people buying diet plans such as medifast.com, and even more couples are joining every day, so they can encourage each other on their goals to losing weight. Diet programs have very nutritious foods that are clinically proven, and also delivered to your front door.

5. SEX, SEX, SEX. Should I elaborate? Girls, if you want to include your man in on your workout plan, you definitely have to try this technique.

6. Visit the shopping mall. Walking has proven to be the easiest, most affordable and convenient form of exercise for all ages. But why walk in the heat or the cold. Take a day trip to your nearest shopping mall and stroll through all the stores you've avoided while in a holiday rush.

7. Don't finish until you've won. The only way to finish a test is one problem at a time. Take these small, but easy steps toward improving yourself for the New Year. - 16004
