1- Get connected to what you really want. Stop focusing on losing weight and get to the heart of the matter – you don’t want to lose 5 kilos, you want more confidence when you’re naked to reignite the passion in your relationship.

2- Do it with friends. The ultimate accountability – studies by Indiana University found that the dropout rate for couples who went to the gym together was only 6.3%, compared to 43% for those who went separately.

3- Set mini goals and track your performance, perhaps with a FitBit or activity app. Each time you reach a milestone celebrate your success.
