Stick-With-It Secrets How fast does your get-trim resolve dissolve? In about four weeks if you’re not seeing the results you would like, new research from the University of Kentucky in Lexington finds. Study participants who lost he most weight in one month stayed with their diet and exercise routines in week five and beyond, while lesser losers often fell off the wagon. The key to keeping your weight-loss goal a priority when the pounds won’t melt is accountability, says lead author Kelly Webber, Ph.D. Set a standing workout date with a pal at the park or gym, or plug into virtual support like the kind used in the study: Go to fitnessmagazine .com/fitnesstracker to log your meals and workouts and see your calorie totals. The tracker is also available as an iPhone app—complete with five of our exercise and eat-right plans—so your motivation is on call 24-7 ($1.99 at the i Tunes store)!
