7 tips to losing weight:
1. Define success based on your own views (not someone else's)
2. Set your goals based on what your new definition of success is.
3. Deligate and do less (you can't do everything, its okay to ask for help)
4. Workout smarter not harder (if not getting to your goal, working out harder and longer may not give you the results you want)--try HIIT
5. Include flexability training (avoid injury and reduce stress, try yoga)
6. Take a close look at your diet. Count calories. (If already on strict calorie count you may not be eating enough. Could cause your metabolism to slow)
7. Reduce stress/get more sleep. (If you are under a lot of stress your body will try to protect you by increasing stress hormones that will cause to you gain more abdominal fat).

Schedule an appointment to discuss each topic in detail!

I love this app! We live very stressful lives. The wife and I have been using this app to meditate on a daily basis. Since we started I noticed improved sleep, more deep sleep (I monitor nightly on my Apple Watch), and feel reduced stress despite more going on in life at this time. I highly recommend that you incorporate this into your daily routine.
