weight loss encouragement

This case study is used to illustrate the need for nutrition knowledge, motivation, and encouragement. In particular weight, loss motivation is an important aspect of weight management because if people are not motivated then they are unlikely to succeed, and even if they succeed, they are unlikely to continue. I chose to highlight weight loss motivation because a client was having great difficulty with keeping to a diet plan and losing weight, and was very disheartened. The client was also unable to make a change despite having made several attempts to keep to the diet plan.

As a new year is dawning, many people are struggling with weight. The scale may have tipped in favor, but the number on the back of the envelope or inside the pocket tells a different story. This is a new year of change, and it’s time to make a commitment to lose weight and keep it off. You can do it!

To stay motivated, I am encouraged by my friends and family, by the people I interact with every day, and by the media. I know that I am not the only one who has struggled with food and weight issues and by sharing my experience, I hope to encourage others to get involved and to help others to lose weight and feel confident about their body shape. I know that there is no magic solution to my struggles, but I hope that the knowledge and experiences I have gained through my own efforts will help someone else to lose weight and feel good about themselves.

The team at the University of Sheffield’s Department of Social Sciences, Science Communication and Technology looked at existing research showing that social media increases motivation and that this, in turn, increases weight loss. They also considered the potential for social media to be used to encourage people to lose weight, and how using social media to encourage weight loss can be achieved through the mediums available, for example, Facebook, Twitter, SMS text messaging, blogs, and online communities. The research found that social media is of potential use in the weight loss context. A study with overweight and obese participants indicated that the use of social media as a weight-loss tool is feasible, well-received, and promising.

Weight loss is a major global challenge for people of all ages and genders. In the western world, obesity is now among the most significant, underlying, contributing risk factors for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain types of cancer. Worldwide, more than 1.5 billion adults are now overweight, and more than 200 million of these are obese (WHO, 2011). To assist in the prevention of weight gain and obesity, the WHO recommends that healthy eating and regular physical activity should be incorporated into people’s lives.
